Immigration reform passed the Senate. Part of that calls for an increase in border security. Hopefully that translates to good news for us .... One can only hope ..

anybody know the timeframe for when one is supposed to meet an investigator or is that just as random as the rest of this process? lol

You got it! Random Random Random! Perhaps its the chaos that keeps us so calm.

Just an FYI, the bill did not actually pass the senate yet. It has passed a committee vote and should now move to the floor to deliberation of the whole senate sometime soon. However the senate is expected to pass the bill even if there is a try for a fillibuster as theoretically it will likely have support of more than 60 members. Committee was the place it was most likely to get stalled. Its good news, but the house republicans dont like the part about legalizing the illegals here BEFORE any sort of border security goes into effect.

So besides the fillibuster what is a timeframe we are looking at here?

I would say fairly shortly, as the senate tends to support this bill. We will see lots of floor action(amendments and such) in the senate before its actually passed though. Expect some changes to it, since in its current form, it likely would not pass the house. Some changes made, it will likely pass the senate and move to the house, where it will be a very interesting show to watch.

When is the next CBP Officer exam likely to be held?

[Greggyd1211]

Holy crap guy. Just checked the system and it says my background investigation is completed!! Everything shows green in cass except for the drug test. I never met an investigator. I dont mean to ask any questions but can someone shed some light on this. Maybe a provisional clearance?!?

Yes, it indicates provisional clearance. You will receive full clearance after you've met with your BI and his/her report is reviewed and approved by IA. Moving right along...come see us in TSU soon, we're waiting!

Hey everyone,

Thought I should update everyone as there was some movement.

I received a letter dated 3 months ago in the mail yesterday that I failed my 2nd polygraph. I don't know if one can appeal/petition or anything like that....

Also, I took the BP test back in March. Does anyone know if these polygraph results affect my application through them as well?

It really bums me out that I am being found "unsuited" by an examination that is unreliable, unscientific, and biased. Oh well...

[Greggyd1211]

Unfortunately my friend I believe they use the background from previous LEO applications. So I think that is going to include the poly.
