Nope no BI yet....that's why I was surprised I got the polygraphs as I haven't met with an investigator. I'm just glad that I don't have to do another poly. I passed both times and nothing to hide but the experience is stressful beyond words, lol. Btw, I looked at the ports on te cbp website and its a bit confusing because California is considered pacific? Also alot of cities in Texas that I didn't know we're included as swb ports like Dallas, Austin, Houston? Really need some clarification please

I took my poly before I met with the BI also.

I took my poly before I met with the BI also.

I think from now on the poly will come before meeting your BI. I met my BI almost a year and a half ago and still haven't taken a poly. That's bc I've been waiting so long that everything changed on me haha.

[-USER-]

I have a question,

I sent an e-mail to my examiner about my poly and he told me via e-mail that if Quality Control don’t see anything that warranted further testing, they most likely they forward it my file along with the polygraph results up to Washington DC for adjudication and that I have to be patient and allow the Personnel Security Office time to adjudicate your file and decide what they want to do..

Can anybody tell me what adjudication means? what could be the scenario here?

Thank you.

From the CBP.gov FAQ website

Q: What is adjudication and what is involved in the adjudication process?
A: Adjudication is the evaluation of data contained in a background investigation, a polygraph exam, and/or any other available relevant reports, to determine whether an individual is suitable for federal employment or eligible for access to classified information.

Polygraph results are submitted to the Personnel Security Division, and are adjudicated as part of your background investigation. The Credibility Assessment Division (polygraph program) does not participate in the adjudications process. PSD may contact you during the background investigation process to schedule additional interviews or request additional information. You can check the status of your application by visiting Applications Manager website.

I took my poly before I met with the BI also.

I also took my Poly (Both of them) before I met my investigator.

Both mnewsome and I turned down offers due to locations being unacceptable to our families... that being said, we were removed from consideration and we had to reapply at the next announcement. I am very surprised that they told you what they did. I'm not saying I don't believe it, they may have changed the process since last year. Keep in mind, it is a gamble, mnewsome is EOD'ing very soon, and I am still waiting to be contacted for a poly and who knows when that will be.

I received an email acknowledging the fact that I did a defferal and will be mde another offer after 30 days. I actually learned something new as well about the process, you are not ranked by the date you clear all the steps but you are ranked by your NOR score after you clear within your region and offers are given out that way.

Hello Everyone, I have a question to any VETS on here. So I have 40 percent disability from the VA due to and IED strike and having TBI. I'm fine, no major issues, occasional migranes but nothing serious, it was far much worse last year. I recently received a letter from CPB stating that I need to provide further documentation to prove that i can still do the job etc. Are there any VETS on here that have experienced something similar to this in the process? Thank you

Edit: sorry I misread the post, you are ranked by TSL not by NOR. So if a 2012 TSL and a 2011 TSL both clear at the same time, the 2011 TSL gets the call before the 2012.

I got a call today to take my drug test on Thursday. This is the last step in the process for me. For those that have recently gotten "the call", had your background in CASS updated (green check) before you got the call? As of today, my background in CASS has not updated, but I have a feeling that the call will probably call soon after my drug test clears.

I am not sure if that is correct or not, this is what was in the email I recieved.

"Applicants are referred to the Scheduling Unit in score order on a certificate of eligibles based on their geographic location, test score and applicable veteran’s preference points." (Per Scheduling Unit Email)

Go to your VA Doc have them sign off that you can do the required job duties, submit all rating decisions, and medical records. As long as your doc says your okay, you should be good.

I was just sitting here reading the latest posts. I recalled something my poly operator and I talked about that was, not only a little humorous, by applicable to everything in the process....patience. Hang in there and let the process run it's course. There seems to be no rhyme or reason, but there's nothing anyone can do to speed it up or change it's course. All you'll end up doing is driving yourself crazy. Obviously an issue can arrise during the process that you'll need to take action on and address. If you've submitted requested paperwork, attended appointments (for whatever), that's what you have direct control over. Hang in there folks!

BTW, the comment? When I was finished he told me he'd send the results up to quality review and they'd notify me. He ended by saying it may take a little time but to "just be patient". I replied to him, "Well, you're talking to a guy that's been in the hiring process for 4 1/2 years. I think I qualify for being patient!" We both got a good chuckle out of it.
