Results vary for everyone. I applied for SWB and I finished my process in a little over a year, and I received the call about 2 weeks ago. I am one of the lucky ones because there are people who applied to the same announcement and the same geo. pref. and are still going through the process. If NW is where you think the hiring is going to be, then apply, but do not expect to get through the process any sooner than anyone else.

I wish you the best in your application process and I hope what information this forum has given you helps!!

Thanks man i appreciate it, I've thought about it and I've decided to stay in the west coast I got an 84 so hopefully it does not take too long. Best of luck!!

In your case if things go south would they just keep you on pre-academy until classes open up? I'm in class 341... I EOD next month. This is exactly why I refuse to tell my job when I am leaving.

unofficially, there is no class 341, at the moment.

Well I hope that is not the case. I just accepted Brownsville and should EOD on Oct 28th. If a FLETC class is delayed do you still remain in pre-academy status and continue getting paid?

Amac, You ask an excellent question. Over here @ ICE non-essential personnel are not reporting to work as of Tuesday. Pretty much everyone not carrying a badge and gun on our end. We got our call Friday stating that we must report and all leave has been cancelled as of Tuesday. Additionally we will not be paid until a budget passes...

Well that would mean that we are going home without pay as well. I just found out that trainees at the Border Patrol academy have been told to pack their bags and be ready to ship back home on Tuesday. They are doing an inventory of their issued gear for return and flights have been set up. They will stop getting paid as well.

My academy date was just pushed back from Nov 18 to Nov 27. I still report to my duty location on Oct 21 though.

same here.

My academy date was pushed from Nov27th to Dec10th. They said I will still EOD on Oct28th and remain in pre-academy training until FLETC. I would assume I am not attending pre-academy training for free. So at least we will still get paid.

I can tell you what I am hearing in my field office at this point. If you are back from the academy with a badge and a gun, the ports will put you to work. If you are not through the full academy, you will be furloughed. That is the unoffical word from my field office concerning trainees. I don't have any at my port so I am only getting 3rd hand info so take it with a grain of salt. That being said don't assume that even if you are put to work that you will be paid on time. You may have to wait until it is all over since the folks at the NFC are being furloughed too. In the most extreme case, you could not be paid at all.

I was supposed to report October 7, but I received an email telling me my EOD date has been changed to October 21 and my academy date has been changed from November 4 to November 18. However, it didn't sound very promising if the government shutdown does happen. I feel like these dates they sent out today will soon change again. I hope not, but who really knows at this point. Lol

[Mole177]

i'm in pre-acad, we're on furlough unless they pass the budget.

we are told not to report in tuesday morning, unless we receive an email.

I'm in the same boat, just was notified this am :/ apparently I was notified before my POE was because they still were planning on me next Monday. Been pushed to an Oct.21st EOD and academy Nov. 18.

[Pointman8]

For all of those who are curious I am currently in Academy and we are ALL going home. We will be told when to come back whenever that is. Staff has no clue to when that will be. When we do come back we will have to start from day 1. We will NOT pick up where we left off from.

BTW, congrats Amac. Can't wait to meet you.........Eventually, lol
