No. He said "In my professional opinion, I think they will send you for a re-test. I wouldnt waste your time and my time by going over all of this if I thought they were going to fail you".

I'm taking my polygraph test tomorrow. I've never done any illegal drugs or any of that kind of stuff but I'm still pretty nervous. Does anyone have an advice to give? When they ask have you ever done drugs are people getting stuck because alcohol and OTC medication are considered drugs?

Good luck Kattle and let us know how it goes.

Hey, no they will ask you if you have done any illicit narcotic, and be extremely specific in what they're looking for. Just stay with your answer, and make sure you are clean and crisp in your response in terms of answering the question, whilst hooked up to the machine. I suggest you get ample sleep, it will be a long process. Make sure you eat food before you go, and make sure you take a snack (preferably something which doesn't tend to cause you all sorts of gas. If you are an avid coffee drinker, make sure it's decaf. You don't want to give them a chance to make something into a false positive. Good luck, and keep us posted. You should be fine that is as long as you disclose everything. To what I've read, and herd from other applicants makes it seem as the IA special agent is following a script.

How far along in the process did you get?

I did everything except the drug test. I received a NOPA and my file was in the Internal Affairs office which I assume is part of the BI. Started this process in May 2012.

I'm just trying to figure out if CBP shares what was said during my polygraph.

[Awesome]

So I find out today that the reason my poly was found "unfavorable" was because my amended paperwork reflected 1 time pot use within a 3 year period before my poly date. Which is bull because the only reason I said that was because the administrator asked me to change the date to a more recent timeframe to make me feel more comfortable with answering the question when hooked to the machine. Long story short, I am in the beginning phase of starting an appeal.

Hopefully you have a case, and it doesn't take forever.

Good luck, Awesome.
