Has anyone who tested in August/September and has their GEO at SWB received their TSL? I got a 92. I suppose it really is just a waiting game.

Hi to all, and happy new year.
I would like to know if there is an email for IA, I met with my BI almost two months ago, and it's still pending in CASS, i tried contacting MHC, they told me they don't have that information. This is the final step for me. Took the exam in September 2012 score a 92 for swb. I don't want to wait more time and then find out that someone lost my paperwork and no one knew about, thanks!

Good afternoon folks,
I'm new to the forums . I am a current employee for DHS and had applied for Customs. I had taken the exam back in June of 2013. Received a passing score on the exam and revived my TOL in November. I took my PFT 1 today and added the points up. My total number is 123, I do have a question for anyone who may have n answer. During the step test my foot knocked over the top part of the step. In that very second my instructor placed the top back on and I continued the test. My instructor passed me because I continued the pace even with what had transpired. The instructor had wrote that in the comment box about the foot incident . Would anyone believe that the reviewer will fail me? Or they will possibly have me re-due the test? I had a feeling today that the step will either fall over or I'll trip on it. I guess that's what happens when your stomping like a made women or man. If anyone could possibly answer this question. I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you

I also met my BI more than two months ago as well as contact MHC. However i emailed them so i can have a paper trail. At this time the most we can do is wait and keep in shape for the pt2 and if you didn't as yet email you case manager for the BI so you have something for our record.

I start pre-academy Monday, jan 6 and I have not been able to get my report on duty time. I tried contacting my 2 point of contact supervisor (no response) and mhc (doesn't know). I plan on showing up at the port around 7:30 am if I still cannot reach my point of contact.

If there is anyone here who recently attended pre-academy at San ysidro, what time did you report on for your first day of pre-academy and where to? Thanks

Same here. Tested in September, NOR (94) a few weeks after that, then nothing. SWB.

Are there any current GS salaried employees crossing over to US Customs? If you currently above the GS5/7 advertised were you able to come in higher? If not if you had time in grade as an 11 could you skip to GS 12?

[Smiley85]

So what's the lowest anybody has score so far and received their TSL? I seen a 82.

Tomorrow I EOD. It should be an exciting month, luckily I only have to commute about 17 Miles each way. I will try to answer any questions I can, so feel free to ask!

Maybe, and maybe.

Those hired under public announcements will likely see no more than 05/10's or 07/10's offered to them, and they'll promote up to GS-12 just as every other public hire will.

The few current G-employees who manage to get hired on through something other than a public announcement might have a shot of coming at higher salaries/higher grades and accelerated promotions.

Tomorrow is my EOD as well, If there are any questions that I can assist with I'll be more than happy. For those that are waiting on "the call" and going through the "process" just hang in there and try not to stress over it. In the end the gratification is well worth the wait.

Where do you EOD? I imagine given our same EOD dates we will likely be at the academy at the same time. I am there February 10-June 16.
