Can any of you tell me this?: if you passed the poly you won't receive any e-mail, note or anything? or always receive something? I know that everybody is different but ..... 5 weeks since I took it and still waiting....

Its been a while guys,

I got a call from two different investigators yesterday, it was kind of weird because they were in two different states... Well at least I know that they are working on my BI and that my NOPA got approved. I'm finally out the Army though, and they were happy to final get my DD-214.

Can I ask what your nopa was about? How did you find out it was approved?

Does anyone know the purpose of this? I know they are looking for ppl who speak diff languages, does that mean I may move up faster if I do? Just curious to c if it even has anything to do with the hiring or if its just a way for them to see the demographics etc of ppl under TSL?

I did not receive any notice that I passed the poly. I just kept checking cass to make sure that I could still log in. They say the only time you get a notice is if you fail.

So I finally get to meet with the Special Agent who is conducting my local BI. One Agent already had a sit down with my ex wife lol....... One contacted me from my home town...... so hopefully this last part will go faster then the rest! He also told me that his report is due on the 9th of January so I guess that is also good news....

Hello everyone, Hope you all had a Merry Christmas, or Holiday Celebration. CASS finally updated today with my Quals(at gs-7) but because they noticed that my official transcripts were missing my forms went pending, but they got the transcripts in the system later today(i got an email saying they got them) so, looks like Im really just waiting on the drug test to e scheduled and my background to either finish or have IA tell them to give me a prelim clear. And my Background seems to have moved along pretty swimmingly, all my non-local references seem to have had face to faces with BI's and all the locals have been done for a few weeks now.


Guess I should hope to expect the call for drug testing and hopefully the actual "call" pretty soon.

No to rain on anyones parade, but keep in mind that we on this forum only represent a small cross section of applicants meaning there could be hundreds more cleared to EOD applicants. While many of us are cleared to be hired lets not get ahead of ourselves about getting the call, be hopefull but my suggestion is not to get in the mind set that it is coming soon. I have too many times thought I have had a job in the bag only to have my hopes dashed for one reason or another.

I only am saying this because it can be very deflating when things do not go the way you think they should, its best to just roll with the punches and see what happens.

I have a question, the BI performed by CBP will help us in any other job? what about if we passed the BI but not the Poly or if we pass both and don't get the call? Some jobs ask for security clearance... Sorry but I am confused... I wanna know how this process could help us in the future. Thanks guys.

FF - that's a good call, especially with the uncertainty in relation to the fiscal cliff and budgets. I have a friend in ICE who ended up having a promotion delayed something like 8 months because of uncertainty around the budgets. I'm sure hiring is dependent upon the fiscal policy being set in place, at least to a certain extent. Hopefully the mess is sorted out by Monday so there are no delays, because we all know how slow the process is in general!

Also, I got a request for more info on my vision from my Physical. MHC did confirm that they do not proceed with your BI until you clear Medical, so of you are delayed (for LASIK, for example) you need to account for that in the process. Moral of the story - if you are considering something like LASIK to help pass the Med, do it BEFORE you are in the process or you'll end up waiting that 90 day grace period after.
