Anyone here from 15-2 finish the background yet?
How many people is here from 15-2 announcement?
How much people is left from 15-1 that didn't get "The Call"

If you are stationed at a location that doesn't require Spanish and then decide to move/transfer to another location later on and it requires Spanish, do you then have to take the class or does CBP not allow you to transfer there?

All this being said, I've heard that you have to try to fail Spanish. Everyone passes if they give a good faith effort and can learn the absolute basics. If you're going to a port where Spanish is necessary, I promise you'll be fluent in less than 6 months.

From my knowledge, you don't need to go back to FLETC for Spanish, but it would obviously be in your best interest to speak Spanish. I doubt they'd stop you from transferring though.

I was originally a 15-1 applicant. But I reapplied under 15-4 to get a new duty station. MY BI hasn't been done yet. According to CASS it has been referred to the security office, so I'm hoping that means it will be starting soon.

Im from the 15-2 announcements. Just submitted my BI, have the SI/VBT soon, i had to reschedule the first time... How long did you BI take?

I have to be honest here... some of these questions really sound like people are just applying w/o actually reading any of the postings??

[howlongdoihavetowaitforthis]

i know i am being negative.........i just dont want to quit my job and then i fail the Spanish part ......anybody how hard the 6 week Spanish part is?

thanks in advance

I had the same exact concern. I asked a CBP officer who just graduated a year ago and he said it is cake. I'd gladly take a 6 week paid vacation before having to do 16 hour shifts at the southwest border.

when you submit the Eqip, they don't send you any confirmation emails, correct?
