Anyone 17-6 still waiting?

My BI is still pending, drug test pending. Last meeting with the investigator was mid-December.

[FTO Sammich]

I'm 17-7, and my timeline is the same. Met with BI mid-December and have been waiting since.

[JAK060813]

Yup! 17-6 here and met with BI Dec 7. Drug Test not yet taken either.

[themoj0]

More progress here....

[d2ep]

Thanks Mojo

Hey i got my TO today and they are already scheduling me for drug test. I am surprised by that.

[Acenall]

I Re-applied 18-4 DH GS9 on 1/24/18.
I still have not heard anything back. Only the email about them receiving my app and they will let me know if I am eligible or not.
I am currently in the process 17-9 DH GS7 but I made a mistake and forgot to attach my LEO forms the first time around. I am waiting on a call to schedule my Poly for them. I haven't heard anything since November.

[GNg]

Dose anyone know if it is appropriate to write email directly to MHC to inquire for a second Poly exam? I haven't got any notification of the outcome yet but would like to ask for a second.

The exam tester didn't provide me any contact as my requested and I only have the general email address provided initially by the Poly Coordinator. I have waited years for this job and don't want to give up just because of wrongful accusation based on scientific data.

[toonguy15]

I emailed recently because we're both 17-10, I still have yet to hear about my polygraph and I haven't heard anything.

[GNg]

toonguy15 So you emailed them before hearing back anything from the poly? What result you got verbally from the tester? I afraid I will cause unnecessary remark if email them without received any result

[Samwise1]

So I think I am the only CBPO 16-12 still waiting for my EOD on this forum, I passed the only thing I had pending on CASS which was my PFT-2 and passed it on 2/2/18, I haven't heard anything since and I made a call today to MHC (which they did not answer) and minutes later I received a

MEDICAL SELF-CERTIFICATION
U.S. CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION (CBP) FORM

Has anyone received this form? I assume they are making me do this form because they need an update on what medical changes if any have I had since my medical exam back in 12/12/16.

Back to the waiting game..........

[3nf0rc3r]

Wow you've been a while... good luck

[Samwise1]

Yeah its always something that has made my process take forever if it wasn't a number that was wrong on my eQIP it was an agent been assigned to a different assignment and getting a new person on my case and well finally I am a step closer

[FederalHopeful]

Wow, how long did it take from meeting your investigator to BI completion?

[EnforceTheLawBro]

I am CBP and BPA 17-1. Met with my investigator on 1/5/18. Haven’t gotten scheduled for my drug test nor have I been told I have cleared the investigation.

[dalie_utcc]

Has anyone here ever had a drug test twice? (+__+) Or it is just me...... It's good tho, but just curious if it is normal..

[FTO Sammich]

I can't say I have seen anyone ask that. How much time between both tests?

[dalie_utcc]

I took the first one last Wednesday and got another call an hour ago for a second test this Friday.

[FTO Sammich]

Maybe they spilled the last sample?

[dalie_utcc]

@FTOSammich hahahaha ewww..

[FTO Sammich]

Samwise1 Wow you have been waiting quite a while. Looks like you are very close though. I agree with you, it is probably just recertifying your info since it has been a while. I'm still waiting to see if my background clears. I haven't heard from my BI for weeks so I hope that is a good sign. I just applied for Direct Hire BPA GL-9 18-5 Announcement to see if I qualified for the GL-9. Just for Giggles.

[Samwise1]

FTO Sammich yeah the whole form was just them asking me to give them an update on my medical history or if I had a surgery or an injury since the date I was first medically clear

[lordofbk43]

Has anyone else gotten email from Training and Scheduling awaiting funding?

[dalie_utcc]

That's awesome! Congrats in advance. I have to retake a drug test this Friday. Sighh!! Waiting game is painful.

[lordofbk43]

Don't stress it. Fill the cup and roll out. They probably contaminated the package when sending it back out. You got nothing in your system so don't worry.

[RGC1988]

yea I got that email..and I had to sign the OF-306 and send it back...now the waiting begins lordofbk43

[lordofbk43]

RGC1988 Now its just waiting for the funding to be applied and an EOD to be attached.

[will.wilwon552]

17-9 had my poly today. It went well but I failed the serious crime.

He said he’ll submit it for review and I’ll hear sooner or later.

My experience was good tho. He was nice and went through all the questions before hand never grilled me on any questions.
let’s see what happens.

Good luck to everyone in the process.

[RJ_Jersey]

from what I have read on this thread, a few people have failed the serious crime part and not even have any serious crime charges/convictions. I guess its all about how you answered it.

[Steph631_]

Don’t get discouraged just yet. You might get an email to retest or even a pass. You never know with CBP and these polygraphs.

[Captnlee]

Side question because I can't seem to find any info anywhere, has anyone applied to a FLETC Instructor job before? I applied almost a month ago and my resume has still yet to go under review. Anyone else out there with similar a experience? Im kinda torn over which would be the better job too...

[3nf0rc3r]

A FLETC instructor or a BP Instructor at the Academy?

[RGC1988]

My pops applied for a FLETC Instructor job...had an over the phone interview and everything. That was a few months ago I believe...hasnt heard anything since then Captnlee

[themoj0]

yeah i applied for two of them. Im thinking they are looking for someone in particular...

[Captnlee]

I applied to the maritime law enforcement position. I have 9 years expirence as a Coast Guard Tactical Coxswain teaching litteraly every line item for the position I guess I was hoping to be “that” person

[RGC1988]

For those who have received job offers...how long did it take to get it after you completed everything concerning the process?

[3nf0rc3r]

6 months for me

[d2ep]

How long does it take for them to send E-Qip email after TO email?

Edit: Never mind I just received the email.

[RJ_Jersey]

So when you guys say “tentative selection”. Are you guys saying you got an offer?

negative. it just means that you met the minimum requirements to move on with the process, it does not guarantee you a position.

[EnforceTheLawBro]

Sooo I checked my app today. My polygraph was already passed and showed as green. My background investigation was yellow and showed as being reviewed, now both my polygraph and background investigation are blue and show “pending”. Is this normal??? Or am I overthinking it and getting worried.

[county25]

Poly was blue (and still awaiting results) and still is blue. BI was yellow but now blue. Shrug.

[FTO Sammich]

Mine too. I wouldn’t worry about it. It did the same thing last weekend then went back to normal the next day.

[dalie_utcc]

Good morning~
It was really a glitch, guys! It’s back to normal now

[EnforceTheLawBro]

Yessss, it’s back! This is what happens when you check it daily like 20x a day lol

[Steph631_]

Hello everyone. So today my “background investigation” switched from blue to “in progress” I still haven’t had my polygraph or SI. What does this normally mean ?

[Steph631_]

county25 my e-QIP is green and completed. I read up and I guess it’s just the beginning of the actual “background investigation process.

[Josel1992]

What announcement

[Steph631_]

Josel1992 18-1 E-QIP, medical and fitness are green on CASS and background investigation, SI and drug test are orange “in progress.”

[Josel1992]

I think you are good, in progress your step closer, better that then "pending"

Im 18-3 the only green I have is the medical, everything else is in progress and SI, Poly, and BI is still blue pending
