      Just curious, I received an email today from USA Staffing advising I had to complete some “on boarding tasks”, it was just some basic info. Just curious what that means, if I should be expecting the call soon? Also just curious how i figure out who my case manager or recruiter is so i can reach out with some questions. This is where I’m at:
      APPLY CBP 18-13
      WRITTEN 09/14/2018 PASS
      EQIP TO OPR 10/15/18
      SI 10/16/18 PASS
      FITNESS 11/06/18 PASS
      MED 10/15/18 PASS
      POLY 12/11/18 PASS
      DRUG 01/09/2019
      BI MEETING 01/03/2019

        In CASS, your case manager should be the one sent you the first email for Eqip, his email, phone should be still there. what the heck man, you are flying thru like nothing? What is your secret? Did you apply at hiring expo or apply online? WindyCityGuy ,

        If it’s the OF306 form then expect a call soon with an offer.

      Well, this week officially marks 1 year since applying for me... I know there’s plenty of others in the “1 year club,” but it is pretty discouraging to realize most people who are at this point are waiting on one of the final steps (BI, drug, or “The Call”). Meanwhile, I’m still waiting just to be scheduled for my polygraph. 8 months and counting since my SI... here’s hoping this next year sees a bit more progress.

        You will be receiving emails to schedule your fitness and SI soon, within few weeks, I guess,
        Normal process would be... hurry up for SI and Fitness and wait forever for poly and background.... unusual process would be everything is done within 6 months like some of the lucky ones in here , Not sure which category you will be in... lol fonzi7979

        So after bugging them once a week when the government was not shutdonw, I got an email today that tells me my additional medical is under nurse review. Does this mean that it is finally getting looked at, or am I still gonna be waiting for another 3 months?

        Things seem to be moving pretty fast here, so I'm going to jump on with my timeline.

        Applied to announcement 19-3 (VRA) on 12/8/18.
        Referral email and tentative selection email on 12/19/19
        Emails to begin e-QIP and schedule medical on 1/29/19

        Hopefully we don't go back into another shutdown in a few weeks.

          I'm also 19-3 (NOR 12/21/18), and just got my applicant ID, e-QIP, and SI selection emails today. The interview is in two weeks... maybe they want to get it done before another shutdown?

          Got the email with my SI date, and I'm working that day and can't get off. The email says it can only be changed due to "extenuating circumstances", and I don't think that will qualify.

        Anyone in here know if the Academy has an entrance fitness exam? I find it odd that all they have are these pretty weak PFTs and I haven’t found any info from official sources about what’s expected of us.

        So I got an email from my case manager telling me that my investigation has progressed to the personal security process. Anyone understand what exactly that is? Is that opm where they make final adjudication.

          I met investigator 6 months and investigator turned my file in 2 days later. I received this email a while back but it was in response to me teaching out. This was random and to congratulate me on this. Which I was weird. Would like to get a better understanding as my background has been completed and under review for adjudication for several months now. My case manager said she doesn't know anything unless opr reaches out to them. Was just confused.

        Any other 18-9s here? I’ve been waiting on the Polly since end of August, where are you all at?

        Also, in the event that the hiring process takes past a year from your Physical Fitness Test, do you have to redo it?

        Just curious, has anyone ever sent an email to the “IACADSCHEDULING” email and actually received a reply? It’s the only publicly listed way to get in contact with OPR/the poly team, and it’s what MHC and Recruiters always point you towards, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard of someone actually getting a response from that address. It seems like it’s an unmonitored inbox. Either that, or they just never reply...

          N.N. I received my poly email the next day after emailing them to update my job & E-Qip. I also received the BP SI email the same day as getting a reply. I don't know if it's coincidence or because I'm processing with both agencies or what.

          DP23 ahh that may have something to do with it, I've heard that BP applicants are given priority for the polygraph. I haven't been asked to update my eQip or anything though, I've literally been in radio silence for 8 months lol.

          ES90 not sure what location you work at, one thing I always thought was odd with the show though was that it never shows what's going on down at the Southern Border. Wouldn't there typically be more "action" down there? i.e. more drug seizures, arrests, etc? Another takeaway from the show I get as someone who hasn't done the job yet, is positions at land borders do seem to be much more interesting than at an airport. Airport work kind of seems like glorified TSA work lol.

          I appreciate your comment ES90 I'm sure its more "stamping passports" than anything. I glad its a show that gives you some sort of in and out of what your day to day actions will be.

          There's a reason for that, every other show about BP and OFO focuses solely on the southern border. I'm glad there's something focusing on the northern border and airports. Land is probably more interesting than airports, you never know what you're going to get. As for airport work "TSA" work, don't worry you'll be searching your fair share of bags and people on the land border. Many ports get regular Greyhound and charter bus traffic.

          I haven't seen that particular show.
          The other shows on OFO typically get all Hollywooded up with what amounts to mostly playacting, spin and camera-worship. Overall, the result is not a lie so much as it is a distortion. Sort of like seeing something through multiple mirrors. Or a bit like a kid picking through his food to find the stuff he likes best and stacking up all the stuff he doesn't like on the side of the plate. They show us the tastiest bits. What they don't show is the mess of food wasted on the plate.
