CBP officer

So my ethnicity is from India, and I received that email as well, I took the test last month and haven't received my tsl yet do you think my ability to speak 2 of those languages on that list will help my chances?

finally i see a indian brother on here! not sure if it will help with tsl because it did say its a survey.

I speak southern dialect english and can understand the northern dialect also. Basic understanding of ebonics should be a plus...lol

I am fluent in the northern dialect of English and if the southern dialect is spoken quick enough I'm ok. I have a good undserstanding of ebonics as well. I have also learned Spanglish, as this was the language my parents spoke to me when they meant business lol.

Question... So I passed all pre-employment steps and got a call back in May for a tenotive offer but they realized I am still in the military until Sept. so they said they couldn't give me a offer tell sept. and then I will be put back on the pipeline. Does anyone know what the typical wait is for pipeline for SWB?

I will be strongly contemplating the Air Force if CBP does not work out for me.

Maybe that form does mean something, sure sounds that way. I feel like now anybody that takes the poly will fill out that out. So makes sense that they may just start including it with all new tsl1's sooner rather then later. That's complete speculation though, so take that with a grain of salt. I would also call MHC about that missing pre-employment form. Who was it that told you there may be a problem was it MHC or IA?

You might be right! They emailed me one a few months ago and had me fill it out and fax it back. It was after I took the poly so maybe they do go hand in hand. I asked a question a few months ago about that form and someone on here told me that everyone has to fill that out! Maybe they were wrong or maybe they are right. Im hoping that they are wrong lol

I'm in the same boat as you are. They told me that it would be fairly quick once you get out. They even asked me about getting a early out.....

Hello,
So today I got a letter saying that I got my VBT/SI on Sep. 6, 2012. After this if I pass I will only need drug test, poly, and BI.

If you speak one of those languages on that email, does it mean you got a quicker chance of getting hired? my GEO is JFK NYC and I scored mid 80's

@sick of being army grunt...i see you took your poly june 18. how did you find out you passed and how long after the poly did you find out? i took mine aug 8, the examiner told me i passed. I called IA yesterday and they did not have the results yet. it has been 2 weeks since i took it.

When I finished my poly I asked the agent, she told me that she see's no reason why I should not pass but of course it had to go to Adj. The agent told me that if I dont not get a letter in the mail within 30 days of taking the test, I have nothing to worry about. So, really I never got anything in writing saying that I passed the poly but it has been two months without a letter or a call asking me to retest, so I figured I passed.

Hey, Guys! I am new here and I have been following this thread for a long time and it is very
helpful! I am wondering, is there anyone who applied for the West Coast location?

Hey S.O.S.! Just like USER, I also have a very similar timeline (I'm actually on the way home from my VBT right now). However, I am also a West Coast applicant. I'm not female, but it's still nice to see someone else with the same GEO!

Hey Valross! Thanks for letting me know, I am really glad to meet someone who shares the same GEO! We may even end up in the same training class in Georgia (with other applicants who share similar timeline). So how was your VBT, I bet you nailed it! and good luck on your pre-employment process!

Has anyone here had their poly done in Orlando?
