You have to print the financial report and the other 3 documents, fill, sign, scan to PDF and upload each one with the correct names. Before sending your e-QIP, the system will ask you to print a copy of it. Verify all the questions before sending it.

On the financial disclosure forum, do you include this years information or just go off of last years tax return?

So far there's 3 people in this thread taking the pft2 in Chula Vista next Friday. Same academy dates...think it'll be the same class?

Hey future! I can't pm you.

I have PM turned on, I know it's hard to PM while on Mobile.
I did receive some PM's from you guys, hopefully answered most of your questions.

What's the number to IA? I tried to ask my CBPO background investigator the for the number, but he said he couldn't give it out.

I'm from Cali, and applied for west coast. So far I have passed the medical;PFT1; VBT; What I'm worried about is if my older sister will hold me back from the job because she is currently here in the U.S. illegally..... I had to write a letter to IA explaining that I didn't have her info as to how she came into the country, and I didn't have info on her SSN or permission to enter the US legally for the EQUIP. Could her status hurt my chance at getting the job? I was born in the US, had nothing to do with her getting here, and would not let her status affect my performance in the work place.

Umm, yes its probably going to be a problem to say the least. Are you estranged? Is it like a half sister or something that you have never really had interaction with? I could maybe see an exception being made there. Heck, half of Obama's family is here illegally, but if its not a far off estranged family member then I'd say you have a problem. If you were applying to be a cop, it probably wouldn't be much of a problem, but you're applying to be an immigration officer. You can't associate with people who are here illegally. If I were your case adjudicator, I would reject your application. Its a tough spot to be in since none of us really have any control over who our family is for the most part. Good luck.

I have the same problem a few days ago. You have to find your username; click it and select setting. Now select the little "window" that appears immediately after the forum message (Setting). Now scroll down to general setting and click it. Now select your preferences. Hope this can help you and any others.

CBPO Applicant 13,

It will definitely come up on the polygraph examination. Then if you make it that far it will come up again in the BI. You have to be upfront and honest about it like you are now. You will have a chance to give your explanation of the situation. Your process will definitely be longer than others because of this but you may still have a chance. IA's number is (202) 740-4516. Keep us informed on your situation. Best of luck to you.
