CBP officer

[LunaBaloo]

Yesterday I got my official NOR to my polygraph results, they are withdrawing my application due to unfavorable results, does not state why I failed the exam but I already knew I had failed since I took it....

However,

I logged in this morning to CASS, and my CBPO application is no longer there (I knew that) BUT my application for Agriculture Specialist it's still there....
I don't want to get my hopes up but...

Do you all think I'm still in the process for AGS? D: They don't require a Poly, but I was told that a failed polygraph could drop my AGS application too.
I'm clueless!

[Odox002]

I contacted MHC about this, if you fail polygraph you cannot be considered for ANY CBP positions for 2 years of the failed exam letter date....

[LunaBaloo]

Thank you Odox002 for finding out, I also contacted them but I didn't get a response. It's good to know, so I don't get my hopes up!

[JeJe]

Hey, When did you take your Poly? and what did you Polygraph examiner say to you after the exam? pass, fail? I had mine on 5/16 he said everything looks fine, but didn't say pass or fail. haven't heard anything yet.

[LunaBaloo]

I took it 4/27 and well he told me I failed right there and there.. then I got the official NOR :/

[Josel1992]

Stay positive ... believe !!

[EnforceTheLawBro]

Did you ask your adjudicator how things were looking regarding that theft that happened 5 years ago? Whether it would affect you or not?

[DallyDallington]

I'm writing a letter like they asked. Also getting my old managers who were present to give a statement.

[DallyDallington]

@enforcethelawbro PM me

[puma]

Good afternoon guys , applied 17-10 for Laredo TX and Im still waiting for a polygraph , no call no nothing . Anyone else like me ?

passed my SI 01/09 and still waiting

[229K9]

I am a 17-10 applicant also. Currently waiting on Poly and Drug Test. Medical from October just cleared in May and my SI was November.

[N.N.]

Something a few of us have found is that for certain steps in the process, emailing asking for an update on a specific part SEEMS to possibly get the ball rolling. At least with earlier stuff like Med/PFT and SI. I'm not sure if there's a specific contact point for the polygraph though...

[Baneblood]

poly will be by the agent who receives your packet, so calling wont help...the only thing would be if you were open to accepting more locations thus allowing more people to call you up. otherwise its hurry up and wait.

[RJ_Jersey]

Is it plausible to be scheduled your Poly while your Medical is still pending or is that something that needs to be passed prior to being scheduled a poly?

[Baneblood]

purely speculation, but I don't think they'll keep going through the process if you haven't cleared your medical.

[epesguerra]

17-9, did my fitness and medical aug 17. I passed my SI 3/26 and poly scheduled next week while medical still under review, so it is possible. SI, poly and drug test are all related to background, they go one after the other.

[gaston]

I got an email today advising I need more information informationfor my medical. I need to provide more information for both my vision and my hearing. I was expecting the vision but not the hearing.

If anyone had to do anything with the hearing, did you go to your primary care physician or to an audiologist?

Any insight anyone has would be helpful. Thanks

[N.N.]

Sorry about that man, did they indicate when you took the tests that there may be an issue? The nurse/technician that did mine told me right away that I passed, though I still haven't gotten a medical pass in cass...

Just a shot in the dark too, but I'd assume a primary care doctor would be fine if they just want another typical audio test. If they want specific information though, you may need to look for a specialist.

[d2ep]

@ N.N. check the website where you originally made appointment for the medical. There should be a time line where it tells you, your process and at the bottom there should be a name and email also a number that you can get in contact with to see what is going on.

[FTO Sammich]

Aaaannnnd.....still waiting.

[FTO Sammich]

lordofbk43 yes I think we are some of the few left. EnforcetheLawBro is around the same as ours I think. Other than us, I only see new people on here now.

[lordofbk43]

Basically our wait continues for whatever reason. I talk to my friend all the time who works down where im trying to go and he says they are awaiting new people all the time.

[EnforceTheLawBro]

Yup. I met with my investigator on January 2. I got a call on Monday May 14 from my background adjudicator requesting a write a letter regarding marijuana use back when I was in high school (6 years ago now) also known as NOPA (notice of proposed action) I’m really nervous about it but I submitted my letter on Tuesday, now I must wait again. Oh well. Whatever happens happens I guess.

[Nycguy718]

@enforcethelawbro why, if it was more years ago? Does it even matter if you did it once waaaaayyy back?

[Bolichi702]

Do any of you guys in the process know if you can apply for another port of entry while your in the process of getting hired and well it delay anymore? I'm having a change of heart not wanting to go to Boston and maybe a different port of entry.

[C1sc0]

From my understanding and reading what others have posted about their process, applying for another announcement doesn’t delay the process as the things you have already accomplished will be validated in the new announcement. Where are you from? What announcement? What is your timeline?

[Nycguy718]

You can apply for another POE. Everything will just transfer over. It might take a few days to do so. I did the same. I applied for 18-1 and 2 months later or so I applied for 18-3. Everything in the process included 18-1 and 18-3. Nothing was delayed for me. I just stayed on top regarding the next step in the process emailing the proper people.

[Bolichi702]

C1sco ..I'm from Nevada .. and I'm 18-1 already almost done with process I'll put up my timeline soon but I want to go to a different POE

NYCguy718 thanks for the advice man

[brandonnang]

Drug test got cleared today, still waiting for contact from TSU. So close!

[d2ep]

Nice Congrats!! Yup almost there!!

[C1sc0]

Good stuff. Congrats!

[JeJe]

How long did it take you to get results for poly pass ? a week?

[RJ_Jersey]

17-9, did my fitness and medical aug 17. I passed my SI 3/26 and poly scheduled next week while medical still under review, so it is possible. SI, poly and drug test are all related to background, they go one after the other.

Mine is under review but I received the email from them requesting more info my June 8th, not sure if that makes a difference but thanks for the heads up

[epesguerra]

I turned in all the medical info they asked for in March. Hope that's all they need. Had to see 3 different physicians. I requested a month extension for more time. Good luck on yours.

[gaston]

A follow up to my previous post. Those who had to supply more information to CBP Medical. Was it the responsibility of the applicants personal Dr. to send the information after the follow up or that of the applicant. The instructions are not so clear on who needs to send it.

Thanks

[RJ_Jersey]

At first I thought it was the Doctor who had to send the information in until I read it a few times because it is oddly written. It is the applicant's responsibility to either mail or scan/email to that email address prior to the date they have given you.

[gaston]

Thanks Jersey

[Dyno93]

Hey all,so I’m currently in the process for BPA,and have completed everything up until the structured interview which is scheduled for next month. I’m going to test for OFO on Monday and was wondering if my medical and fitness results from BP will transfer to OFO?

[Jones415]

I believe the fitness exam, SI and entrance exam are different. Everything else carries over.

[JAK060813]

For those of you already through pre-Academy....I live in NC but have go all the way out to San Ysidro for my pre-Academy but they won't give any details until a week before I am suppose to be there.

What do I need to bring with me besides paperwork?
Do they give you a uniform to use once your there?
They said they take care of the plane ticket from there to the academy and back...do I book it or do they?

I called my point of contact but they wouldn't let me speak to them. They just said you will get an email 1 week before your time to arrive date.

[JAK060813]

Well flying across country it would be nice if they told you ahead of time what you needed to wear so you don't have to wardrobe shop there. Thanks for that info!

[N.N.]

It makes sense you wouldn't be wearing a uniform in pre-academy, technically you're not a LEO until FLETC graduation so that would help avoid confusion.

From what I've heard, pre-academy is a lot of onboarding orientation. i.e. a lot of HR paperwork, meeting your co-workers/supervisors, getting introduced to the computer systems, etc. Sounds pretty basic overall.

[Sm2211]

Hi man, congratulation!

Not sure about your port, but in my case, my instructor told me to bring plain polo shirt, plain tactical trouser or kaki, and black boots.

[merlin436]

Pre-academy dresses business casual. Dress up on day one for swearing oath, meeting upper management and first impressions.

[JeJe]

Hey guys, had my Poly 5/16 and was told everything looked fine. how long does it take to get final results?

[Mike924]

Looks like I may have to drive up to DC

[Dyno93]

It’s good to hear they have started implementing the new test,I wonder if it’s still in the pilot stage or not?

[JeJe]

my BI cleared with DHS last month for a different position, so he told me that this will move me along faster. And also I don't think they will take 4-6 weeks for Poly results. two weeks at most.

[raudy06]

This is comforting to read. [email protected]

[tino215]

I took my poly on Thursday May 10 still waiting for result . Is it true if the result come roughly a week is passed and longer is didn’t
please give me timeline thanks

[JeJe]

Two days response is a fail. One week is a pass. Anything more than 2 weeks is a possible inconclusive and want you to retake. Fail in my passed experience has been very fast. a day or two at most. Where did you take you Poly at? Did he say you passed?

[Mike924]

It was 3 years ago, but when I failed he basically told me I failed, and I got the rejection email 2 or 3 days later. It was pretty quick.

[Steph631_]

tino215 took mine 5/10 too still waiting. I called MHC Friday and the lady who answered said they are really behind and instead of it taking 2-3 weeks to get results it’s taking like 4-6 weeks.

[JeJe]

i think a retest is unlikely if everything looks fine since they are behind they just want to move things along. If anyone of us failed we have had been told already cause i am sure they move those along much faster and close cases.

[RJ_Jersey]

Anyone from NJ and who are going out for a NJ/NYC position, had to due the Poly outside of NJ?

[Steph631_]

I took it in NY if that counts and I’m in NJ
