CBP officer

[Serfloco]

What about ex spouses. I was checking my equip copy and they didn't ask for my ex wife contact info just her name. Anyway, I did my poly last month but I haven't get any response nor been contacted by BI investigator.

Did any of yours guys background investigators contact your wife or husband?

Yes, when she set up the appointment she asked if my wife would be home. She actually interviewed her right before me.

Thats why i applied to more than 1 Agency. Got hired by two the same month and chose CBP. There were plenty of jobs that i thought i qualified for when i retired from the Army, but never received another callback. Its just the way it is.

If you want a LEO job, check around the country and see what cities are in dire need. I know Nashville Metro is always hiring. They start pretty good and if you are fully qualified you get hired. Sometimes you have to be willing to relocate to get something you want. Shoot even if you get CBP you will relocate.

If you are dropped from the process because of the poly, then apply elsewhere..FBI, etc... Most federal LEO jobs require a poly so you will not get away from it.

That's exactly why I applied to more then one agency. I just wish I had realized that way back when I first applied for CBP, I'd probably be on the job already. I was also more then willing to relocate for CBP, I live in NY and applied for Arizona. As you can tell from my signature I only just started testing for other agency's. I definitely didn't think it would take more then two years to get on when applying for SWB. CBP is my first choice, but at this point though I'd take anything.

Question for everyone - today my CASS updated to show my BI is in Security Office. Previously it said something to the effect where they had not received all the forms. What does it mean when your BI is in Security Office, if anything? Potentially meeting the BI soon?

Sorry Bry3213, as my friend says HAHA! at this point I can say that "BI in the security office" means nothing!!! or means wait!!!

I signed a provisional clearance form last Friday 1/4/13 and I met with my BI on Sunday; and today my background investigation went green to completed on the CASS website. That was quick lol. I didn't think the provisional form would even be worked and put into the system by them for at least another week, but I will take it.

Well, BI in Security Office means that, Internal Affairs got your BI paperwork and finger-prints and will assign your case to the next available investigator. It could take a few months to a few years to complete; don't believe me? ask "RMS or Yoda " these guys can tell you, how the wait can be excruciating lol.

Indio and Shark are right Bry, it doesn't mean much. Only thing that could speed you up is a provisional clearance, even then you still have to wait for the poly. I was told in august that I was being referred for a poly and im still waiting. Indio is right the wait is just brutal! If you get on though its well worth it. Although Yoda does have me beat, he waited 4 years. I remember when I first found this forum and read Yodas posts, I thought to myself I hope I dont have to wait that long. I probably jinxed myself haha. He got on though so be patient it can and will pay off.

I guess I'll just look it as a minor step in the right direction. Better than having the forms not received, I suppose. I still have 2 more months before my Med clears from LASIK anyway, what's a couple more years anyway???

Hello Everyone and Happy New Year. I haven't been on here too much lately, but I wanted to provide my current timeline and get some feedback if it seems that I'm either moving along slowly or on schedule.

TSL letter - Sept 16th
Medical Appt - October ( still pending)
VBT/ Interview - Passed November
Background - Security office
Polygraph - Pending
Drug Test - pending

Hello everyone! I've been in the process since 05/12. All my checks are green besides the drug test and background. Those say pending. Unfortunately I received a letter from IA stating I "failed to successfully complete the polygraph and that i'm unsuitable for employment". It further stats that Human Resources Management will provide the final notice on my status. I find this unbelievable as I'm currently a police officer with a outstanding history. There's nothing shady in my background. Its picture perfect. The IA guy who did the polygraph only stated that there was something on my mind and i'm not telling. The letter doesn't say that I can contest their decision. I would like to tho. Anybody has any advice on the next step.

Don't get me wrong any movement is good, just don't get over hyped. Look at me it's been a year since anything happened for me. Just try and keep optimistic and sane, bc this process can drive you nuts.
