CBP officer

[Achyuta]

Poly/SI/Prints all completed in 2 days, there is hope friends! Confirmed passed SI by e-mail that same day, and verbal pass on the poly.

Any current officers in or around North/South Carolina ports of entry, shoot me a pm if you don't mind a question or two!

[N.N.]

Wow, congrats, you’re extremely lucky. I’m now approaching 9 months since my SI and still haven’t received a single update on the poly...

[Evolution81]

this sum bull****

[txm44]

Haha yeah amazing... guess they can be fast when they want to be. This guy got further in 2 days then I did in 14 months.

[TheSlammer]

Vet or any past police exp?

[Mkebdani]

[Hal29]

[Tluv123]

Hello 19-2 gs9 here i got the call back in nov. But reapplied to the northern borders all my stuff transferred over and i just got the tsu task assignment ....does this normally mean a phone call within 1 or 2 days after?

[ABP8S]

Can someone with prior service military that currently works for TSA qualify for CBPO GS-9?

[Hopejoy]

Yes, at least one year with TSA.

[douglasgene1]

If you meet the Qualifications for the GS9, being a veteran you will for sure make the GS5,GS7 spot

[ABP8S]

Thanks guys!

[Krash777]

Just a heads up, you will not move forward to the poly until your are green on everything before that which would put you at 50%.

[V_AntCBP]

I'm at 50% for more than 6 months..(Nothing rejected nor additional reviewed required). poly still not moves forward smh....

[Mkebdani]

Interesting what you are saying. So I have been on 38% since November. My SI, fitness and Eqip are all green (completed). Had physical exam 9/26/18 but it still shows in progress. No words on polygraph nor drug test. Any advise? Should I call and see if they can clear my medical? Maybe that would put me into 50%.

[striza]

Ladies and gents the faith is restored! Cleaning my email today I found an email from OPR scheduling me for a poly.
18-11 VRA GS9 .

[JB411]

Thats awesome that you received an email.

[Sspence861]

I’m 18-11 as well, I had to send additional medical - vision, waiting for a clear and poly schedule

[Sspence861]

I’m 18-11 as well, had to send additional Mecical - Vision, hope I get a clear and and Poly date in the near future

Hi every one! so I took the chance in applying for BPA to see if it actually moves faster and to my surprise I THINK it did. The reason why I say "I THINK" is because it to good to be true. I first applied for Direct Hire CBPO (OFO) about a year ago (in March) and I took my polygraph in which the examiner stated I passed, but shortly after I received an email stating I had to retake it.. Then After they rescheduled me it was canceled due to the government shutdown in which everything was on hold. Then I received and email stating that the shutdown was no longer therefore my hiring process was again active. When I didnt here from them after that, I said let me give it a go on BPA to see how does that go.. well here are the results so far...

Applied for BPA- 01.27.2019
Completed Online Assessment- 01.27.2019
Entrance Exam Taken- 02.01.2019
NOR for Entrance Exam- 02.04.2019 (Passing Score 96%)
NOR & Notice of Referral- 02.13.2019
Tentative Selection- 02.13.2019 (Selected)
Accepted Tentative Job Offer- 02.14.2019
Completed Questionnaire- 02.14.2019
Signed PSR.1- 02.14.2019

Now just waiting for a call I'm guessing????

Would anyone happen to know how did that move so fast and what would be my next step and/or when?? Does this really mean I am a new hire as it stated on the webpage (Welcome New Hire)? Please anyone have some information or opinion, please let me know.

Thank you!

[Mkebdani]

Hal29. I agree sir. I just wish the hiring staff was more responsive. It's also very confusing especially with all this talk about Border security and the need of more officers and yet the hiring process is rigorous and long.

[Hal29]

Agree with you a 100%

[OKCsparrow]

[CBPO.BPJ]

Yes RJ_Jersey but I haven't taken the retake yet..

[Steelburg]

Once background clears what’s the average time frame to receive the “call”

[Hal29]

It shouldn't be long before you hear about drug test and hear from tsu. When did it clear and what announcement?

[Steelburg]

Anyone know the time frame On receiving the “call” once backgrounds have cleared?

[Steelburg]

Hal29 Ive already taken the drug test and my BI just cleared today. I’m 19-1 VRA

[douglasgene1]
