[Jade78]

First Polygraph I did was on May 27 sent to quality control for review. then they want me for do another one on July 3. 5 hours test.

What so you mean 5 hour test? How do you know it will be 5 hours?

How and when were you notified? I also took my poly on 05/27, and have yet to hear anything.

Also what region are you in? I'm in the Northeast.

Anybody know if you get bilingual pay for the CBPO postion?

That would be great if they do. I have heard of FLAP but not sure if it applies to this position or how it's paid.

Anybody know if you get bilingual pay for the CBPO postion?

Yes you do but you'll have to test for it; it's a 5% increase? (This is what I was told by a CBPO)

But from what I've read FLAP is on the chopping block for CBP; it's been proposed to bring it down from $19M to $3M in a fiscal year budgeting.

Hello Spanish the game was great, I am a big soccer fan and I think the world cup is going to help with the waiting game. Did you submit your SF86? And, what is your geo?

I thought it was the worst game ever to be fair. But yeah, the games are definitely keeping me distracted. My geo is central east coast and I'm still waiting on the email from cbp. All I know at this point is that I passed the vbt/si.

1. Not all languages qualify for FLAP
2. The % depends on how proficient you are. Min is 1% max is 5%

[merlin436]

For many languages, if not most, there is also a "requirement" that whatever language skill(s) you have, you use at least 10% on the job.

Depending on what one speaks...that might be a challenge in many ports.

[cur679]

That VBT had me pumped for the job. Just hope I didnt fail the SI.

When did you take the vbt? Also, was it harder than you expected it to be? I take mine soon and I'm nervous. To be honest with you, I'd rather take the poly than the vbt.

East Coast region. My polygraph examer called me. a week later they notified me.

BI emailed me tonight saying that he is uploading my case tonight as he is done with it. He wished me a long & prosperous life too. Now I have to be tortured waiting on the adjudication process. Anybody have a clue on the waiting time for adjudication?

Yeah Jade... This waiting sucks and I've only been waiting 6 days. Welcome to checking CASS twice a day and wondering if something else is gonna come up with our background. Congrats...glad I have someone else to join me at this point.

Been waiting on the adjudication process for a week and a half now myself.
The suspense is really getting to me.
I had a dream last night that I checked cass and it said I was put in the scheduling office waiting for EOD. Then I woke up terribly bummed. -.-

At least you guys have made it that far. I have the exact "initial" timeline as LEME and you Future. However, my med-review hasn't even cleared yet and I haven't even gotten the BI email yet. I have a strong feeling that I may withdraw my app in the near future. I just found out I am going to be a dad and as much as I want this position, I can't afford to put my family's life on hold for a position that has so many unknowns. I went into this app process fully aware that it could take in excess of 24 months however, having a baby completely changes the dynamics of my career planning.

Future...that's right were all on the same page! I know that feeling. Let's hope that dream comes true or all of us SOON
