[Jarymoly]

4 months after my medical and still under review and waiting for Poly. Announcement 17-11 here @ 33% since Dec.

[Captnlee]

I re- wrote to the medical review email and said that I know everyone has different time lines but it had been 5 months to the day and I felt it was in error. I never received a response but my app changed to under review. I’ll count that as a win!

[toonguy15]

I did my SI back in November and still have not yet received any information on my polygraph. I'm in the midwest

[Jarymoly]

toonguy15 I hear you mine was mid Dec and Nothing

[toonguy15]

Jarymoly yeah it's pretty strange. I just don't get it

[FTO Sammich]

Does anyone know if Jackman, ME is a 24 hr port? The website doesn’t say.

[FTO Sammich]

Awesome, thanks, I was checking the cbp website.

[county25]

You're welcome!

[sadie99]

Did you have to resubmit your equip after your poly?

[FTO Sammich]

sadie99 Yes, I had to re-certify it and submit it again for the Field Investigation phase. Which is just updating anything before the Investigator contacts you. I got the email to recertify on Dec. 6th and met with my BI on the 21st.

[FreshStart]

Finally got an email to schedule Poly. Had dates up til this time next month.

[LunaBaloo]

YAY! What announcement are you?

[FreshStart]

17-7 but got held up for medical clearance for no reason.

[sadie99]

I just accepted a job with TSA starting next month at the Reno airport and will be relocating. I applied for Vermont with CBP but want to change it. Any chance of requesting another duty location without reapplying? I would really like an airport versus border crossing. I know I have little chance of Reno or Las Vegas. I saw Tucson on an announcement a few months ago. I would love Tucson but haven't seen it lately to reapply. Will I get the call only for Derby, Line VT?

[Captnlee]

From what I have been seeing people post, the assignments on the current posting seem to be what is being offered.

[merlin436]

Tucson is a rather small port and highly desired within OFO. Las Vegas is decent sized. I don't know about Reno's size...but I expect small.

As when you get the call if they'll allow you the option of picking a different port. Just don't be surprised if they hold you to your Vermont selection or nothing.

I previously applied for the secret service SA announcement and have already taken a poly with them. I have no NOR from them nor can I seem to get any answers from them. I’ve been told for over a year after taking the poly that my application is still under review and that I was not disqualified and still in the process, so I am assuming that I passed since I was not instantly disqualified after the poly. I’m trying to find out if I can use their poly I took for the Secret Service in lieu of CBP’s poly so I can get through the process quickly. Anyone have any information? Thanks!

I highly doubt it. CBP's polygraph is structured a specific way. If anything CBP will request the polygraph results from SS and use it against you. :/ It's hard to say, but CBP is very specific on how they do things.

[Captnlee]

there was a person around page 3870 who got reciprocity for his SS poly and got the call within two months. I applied to a SS announcement in January and am supposed to get a phone call within two weeks to schedule a poly with them. I heard that SS does the poly faster so I admit, I was hoping to get the same sweet deal and have their poly transfer over.

[county25]

Good luck guys.

[LunaBaloo]

Passed my interview (: now to wait for the poly -_-

[toonguy15]

Passed my interview in November and still have yet to receive a poly date

[gaston]

Wow that’s fast. I am also 18-3. My last progression was my EQIP was sent to OPR on 3/16/18.

[Josel1992]

Hey.. did you sign the provisional paperwork ?

What announcement are you

[Krash777]

VRA applicant. I had my interview Jan 2 and still no word on polygraph. I’m in Washington

[DallyDallington]

I recertified my eQip after passing the polygraph about a month ago and the status has not changed at all and I haven't been contacted by anyone. I sent them an email immediately after I submitted it just like the email said to do. Should I send them another email or is that pointless? It seems like everyone else heard from their BI pretty soon after recertifying the eqip.

[Steph631_]

Check your junk email just incase. Has happened a few times emails have ended up in junk folder.

[DallyDallington]

Ended up emailing them, and it cleared about an hour later. Not sure if the email had any influence on it or just weird timing lol

[SDC1983]

[Steph631_]

I’m 18-1 and just took my SI Monday (passed) at 44% on APP

[SDC1983]

Same here at 44%. I heard that if you have a poly wavier approved that the rest of the process is like riding the HOV to the finish so that's why I'm trying to figure that out.

[raudy06]

[raudy06]

Thanks SDC1983, Where are you currently on the process?

[SDC1983]

I got my SI NOR on 3/2 that I passed. Currently awaiting next step.

[LunaBaloo]

What do you guys suggest that I do if I forgot to include on my e-qip that back when I was 18 I got a citation for underage drinking at a club -.- I am 23 now but I honestly forgot of such thing, I paid for it back then and took a course. Never did it again lol, but still I don’t want for it to affect me on my polygraph and BI because I didnt include it. Or should I just tell the examiner when the poly comes?

[county25]

E-mail your contact that assigned your eQIP. Explain the circumstance and they should re-open your eQIP for you to edit or provide further instructions.

If you somehow cannot find the correct e-mail, then use the eQIP email here and be sure to supply them with your name and applicant ID number.

[merlin436]

My guess is that you are toast.

[LunaBaloo]

I heard back from my case manager he said not to worry about it since first it was very long ago but that I should still keep the files so I can mention it to my BI thank you (:

[Steph631_]

Id email them and ask them what they suggest you do. Waiting till your polygraph might not look good, like you tried to conceal it and they made you confess.

[LunaBaloo]

Id email them and ask them what they suggest you do. Waiting till your polygraph might not look good, like you tried to conceal it and they made you confess.

Should I contact my case manager though? or who exactly do you suggest?

[RJ_Jersey]

I would contact your case manager for sure. If this process is like any normal LEO process then an omission regardless of it being on purpose or not, can result in someone being removed from the process.

[Steph631_]

Agree with RJ

[JeJe]

You guys have case managers? where can i get one?

[brandonnang]

18-3 here.
Currently 56%, passed the poly, now waiting for the background to be finished so I could be scheduled for the drug test.

[sadie99]

Its been a long wait since your polygraph. Have you been contacted by your BI yet?

[toonguy15]

Now I don't nearly feel as bad looking at your SI to Polygraph dates. I took mine in November and still haven't heard a thing yet

[brandonnang]

sadie99 Yes, my BI already met with my references back in October, and my investigation is in the Personnel Security process step but its been that way for months. Don't know if the reason its taking so long is because I re-applied to another announcement (18-3). Who knows.
