Did you take your polygraph already? Did they tell you if you passed?

I went in October for my poly, answered some "pre-questions" but never actually took it. Was told it would be rescheduled, then was told everything went to IA in D.C

So you was never actually was connected to the computer and took your polygraph? From my guessing is that the answers you gave them was different from whats on your e-qip and they had to update them.

usually it takes a month or so. What port did you apply for?

16-4 for Calais, ME. Seems like it is listed each month so maybe there is priority hiring for it, to make it go faster?

Those of you that were found unsuitable and reapplied, did they asked you guys to submit new finger prints card for the background investigation?

hopefully. Merlin would have more knowledge on those things. maybe he can chip in. For me the process moved fast until i met with the background investigator.

I did not see anyone get called for JFK for a while so im patiently waiting.

From the time lines I've seen the ones by the Mexican Border move at a faster pace. Zfinest is right though, Merlin would be able to provide a better answer since he's more ahead in the process than most of us.

Took my second Poly today and was found inconclusive again over a question that doesn't even apply to me.

Sorry to hear. Did they give you the option to take it again?

All hiring these days looks to be "priority hiring".

The agency is putting out announcements for the ports where the agency has holes and where the agency prioritizes hiring to fill those empty openings. If a port isn't a priority, it's not an option on a hiring announcement.

I wouldn't count on the hiring process to be speeded up for anyone, anywhere, though.

The reason you're likely seeing greater movement into those southern border ports is probably due in large part to the sizes of the ports.

San Ysidro is a huge port employing roughly 1000 CBPOs. Laredo, Eagle Pass, Nogales, Calexico...all large ports with hundreds of CBPOs.

Large ports usually mean more openings to fill.

In contrast, the largest of those northern border ports is Pembina. Pembina staffs somewhere around 100-120 Officers. The rest range from around 80 Officers to 20ish Officers or less.

The totality of the working population of all those northern border ports together likely wouldn't fill the working population of just Laredo alone. In all seriousness, there's probably hundreds of southern border hiring potential listed vs maybe several dozen potential northern border hires.

I was told that it was going to get sent to QC and they would decide if I fail or get a retest.
