Idk. I met BI before i did my poly. As did most people i personally know.

Hello my friends. Today I receive an email canceling my Polygraph appointment. They apologize for the inconvenience and will contact me in a few weeks for reschedule my Poly for November. I think this is for the end of the fiscal year. What you think guys/gals?

I've been heaving the same problem since Friday. I'm done with the application but I still need to upload some forms. My deadline is on Monday and I don't know what to do.

Same here! It was working fine this morning. But as soon as I began uploading my signature forms, it shut down again. My deadline is tomorrow. Kinda worried

Your time will be extended. They are aware of the problem and everyone time will be extended. I received the email.

I am too waiting for my poly to get scheduled, here in PR. It might be due to the new fiscal year or perhaps the Investigator just cannot come in October. We'll see. Suerte!

While it sucks to wait extra few weeks, it might be for a good reason. I don't think its because the FY coz its start this week. And how odd is that they call you on Sunday!!! Are you 13-1 applicant?

My poly was rescheduled, too. I received an email yesterday three days before the exam. So now its a week from Tuesday.

my poly is scheduled for Orlando.

Hmm.... I wonder if it's something belongs to the FL region? Maybe the examiner quit or got fired or died... who knows.

Who knows. The Investigator who does the Poly for Orlando is the same for PR, so it seems like something happened.

Thanks for the tip. Luckily it cooperated with me long enough to submit everything required.

Yes I'm a 13-1 applicant and they contact me by email (12:47pm) not phone. Maybe they want to start my BI and finish it before the Polygraph date to have more information about my background. Someone who works for Homeland Security tell me that they was considering eliminate the Polygraph, because they are loosing good candidates. I don't know if they are using or not this strategy for the new fiscal year, but we have to wait. Right now no body can use a Polygraph like a reliable source on a trial, maybe they are thinking about that fact. God always have a plan, so I will be patient.

It will be good idea to eliminate poly from this process, however, most who are required to get clearance will have to go through poly, not only in DHS but all other government agencies. So this step will have to take really good effort and thinking to not use it. They are also losing good candidates by having the minimum age at 37. Why they didn't do it at 40 and cut it even? I don't know, wish somebody explains how they work.

My poly examiner is the one that emailed me to reschedule.
