13-3 applicant here... Just started my application a month ago... Reason being is that I just came back from deployment so my app was on hold. Anyways I've already done my Eqip, medical, pft 1 and I already have my SI/VBT scheduled for the end of this month. I would like to know if anyone from the NYC area has gone through the process recently and where exactly did they go for their poly? Im a little nervous because I just got accepted to corrections in NYC. The academy starts March 5th so it's going to be tough to ask for a day off during the academy to do the poly. Didn't want to turn down corrections because I don't want to stay empty handed. Thanks for your inputs!

I was having the same problem. Eventually I was connected with a person after about 25 minutes on hold.

Email or try to contact your case manager. A couple of guys up further in the thread had the same problem they tried early in the morning 8 am eastern time. But first contact you case manager to at least get an extension...

Does anyone know if new hires could apply to new CBP announcements after you finish FLETC? I'm asking because I had to switch my location but speculating they'll be hiring in my desired region in the future...

I thought you could port swap with other CBPOs at different locations?

I took the PFT2 last Friday (2/6/15). When do I expect CBP to send me the final EOD letter and offer, and where/when to report for EOD on 2/23/15?

I've read current CBPO's have reapplied to new openings and some of them have swapped also... As far as new hire's, I know they have 1 year probation... Not sure if they have to commit to their assigned port before they are allowed to re-apply or swap... Best bet is to contact MHC just to inquire. Hope this helps.

No I would never lol. Hope is what keeps us all going. So keep hope alive [emoji23]. I didn't think I'd be this far in the process myself. Poly seems to be delaying me though [emoji31]

When I scheduled mine I was calling with both hands, one from my home phone, one from my cell.phone until someone picked up.

I got my final selection letter the next day. You have to show up to the port you chose. All of the info you will need is in that final letter.

Wow, good thing I wasn't working today! I got home from taking my 4yo to the dentist and then a movie. My wife had said there was a call from an unavailable number to the home phone (but I never got a call on my cell.). I checked my e-mail at 1445 and I had an e-mail stating I had to call today and schedule my poly before 1530 or my case would be dropped! Luckily the agent picked up and I had no problem scheduling. I'm set for 06March. The 1st date available was the 4th, but I work all night on the 3rd and get off at 0730 that morning. I told her I would suck it up and do it though. She said no, I need a good night sleep first, as it is an all day process, and gave me the 6th. I was hoping to get it in Northern VA (esp. since the two NTS's are out here) but I have to go into DC, for a 0900 appointment, that's rush hour! ,... anyway, I love first world problems. Now if only my Medical would go green :-)

I would def suggest getting as much sleep as possible. I was in similar situation as you and only got 2 hours of sleep the night before a poly. It was not wise lol. Your body is already under enough stress and no sleep will only make your vitals jump
