Wow it took your BI a long time, but it's done at last. That's good. Congrats. My background was cleared on the second week of last month (July) I believe, and about a week later I got scheduled for drug test which I did last Friday(July 24th). Hopefully you'll get to do yours very soon too.

well have you got "the call" yet? and also where is your geo region?

A quick question for those that have completed the VBT.

Do you have a certain amount of time after each scenario to give your response? Or how long did you guys take to give your response to the scenario?

Not yet.

Sent an email to MHC about the BI, they basically said they don't know, it is handled by IA, and have zero info. They said that the BI "takes 12-18 months or longer." Didn't answer my questions regarding the provisional offer expediting the process, or why they sent me in for a drug test if they didn't have my BI complete. Mind you, I sent this to the BI email contact.

Don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Was the sig generic with no point of contact?

Here it goes....

"Your Background Investigation (BI) packet has been submitted to the CBP Office of Internal Affairs in Washington, DC. Due to privacy issues we at the Minneapolis Hiring Center do not have access to your background investigation.

Each applicant completes the BI at a different rate based on many things including number of former residences, ability to reach people listed in the e-QIP, request for a polygraph, and more.* The BI takes 12-18 months or longer.*

When the security process is completed, our office will be notified, and the outcome will be reflected on the CASS website.*

For future updates on your status, please check the CASS website https://apps.cbp.gov/cass/.

We appreciate your interest in employment with CBP.

Sincerely,

Office of Human Resources Management
Minneapolis Hiring Center

Again, maybe it was just to notify me that my BI has been recently submitted for processing....[emoji845]

Got the same thing. It really didn't have much to do with the actual question I sent on Thurs.

Were you able to speak to anyone about your form issue?

[pinarsu]

I think to many people ask questions regarding background. They just sent same answer to everybody

If you are referring to the password protected attachment email I received last Friday from the Medical Review Unit( they forgot the attachment) lol!! I called at 7:21 ( Eastern time ) 6:21am ( Minneapolis) and a nurse assisted me right away. I didnt know they were open that early [emoji6]

That's confidential and I believe would be considered cheating if someone told you. Just do your best.
