My buddies application status on USA job says “reviewed” your application has been reviewed but no determination has been made.

[bonds525]

Anyone know if you fly out to academy after EOD or if you get to go home for the weekend?

[merlin436]

One, ask your port to schedule you so your weekend falls on the days preceding your academy travel day so you can travel home. Two, ask your port to book you a flight from your home town instead of your port town so you can avoid traveling back to your port.

Now, maybe they'll accommodate you and maybe not...especially if that flight out of your home town costs more than the one out of your port town. It's worth an asking though.

[boconnor]

Some ports are accommodating some aren't. When I came back they told me to use whatever leave I wanted. That was when I was still under post academy. As far as your schedule my port does m-f 8 to 4 during pre and post academy. No over time until your primary certified. Then you get baggage certified. Than months later secondary

[Guteks]

well, since SF is pretty far from my home, I’ll be preparing to go from Academy back to port immediately. Hopefully during the last weeks of academy I can score a place to live and move in right when I get back to SF

[bonds525]

Thanks all
Guteks yea I’m gonna get a room or an app while in the academy, I’m about 400-500 miles from SF now

Coincidence or not, I FINALLY got the Tentative Selection email... a month after the NOR. Why I call it a coincidence is because yesterday I emailed if there was some hold up and then today I tested for TSA and passed. TSA already has me going in one day and then CBP sends the email haha. Anyway, I can finally start this long process.

[LMC]

Nice dude! good luck with both applications!

[rergang3]

LMC thank you!

[LMC]

Does anybody remember how they received their appointment notification for the PFT? Email or by phone call?

I have submitted Eqip, Completed SI and Medical.

however, have yet to receive notification of a date for my fitness test.

i got a call, when talking to them i received a email. This is just what happened to me, what i have learned is nothing is the same for anyone in this federal application process lol

[LMC]

douglasgene1 appreciate it!

[mobyfish]

Everything for me was email. I selected the day I was available and they emailed me with an appointment like one or two days later.

[Carlos Gonzalez]

I got an email and a phone call

[Krash777]

Holy crap! I just got the polygraph call and test at the end of the month. What a long process this has been!

[txm44]

Congrats.... what application are you? Was number blocked?

[Elgin_87]

Congratulations! Krash777 I still haven't heard a thing. Let me know how it goes though... best of luck!

[TESLA3]

what is the phone number when they called you? Good Luck!

[Monkey12582]

[klocklear86]

I talked to a family member today and they said that someone call inquiring on how my investigator did his job. Has anyone experienced this? If so is it a good thing or bad? I am thinking it is OPR.

[Countryrunner]

Ive had the same thing happen. Not sure what did/will come out of it..

[Krash777]

txm44 thanks and I am 17-10. Also, the number wasn’t blocked.

[fonzi7979]

Hi Everyone,

I am in 19-2 and I just checked my CASS and see that my E-Qip is green with a check mark and completed. Does this mean that I will be receiving an email about scheduling the SI?

I am applying for JFK will my interview be at the port?

Any feedback is is greatly appreciated.

Thank you and good luck to all be patient.

[douglasgene1]

the SI will most likely be at the port you put as preferred box when you filled out the application on USAJOBs. Not always will it be the place you want it tho.

My CBPO i put DFW/Irving, I had my SI at DFW

BPA i put Irving/Dallas, my SI was in Lubbock, which is in west Texas 5 hours away from where im at.

DFW/Dallas/Irving is all with-in 30mins-1 hour away from where i live

[ontherunn]

I know i shouldn't be talking since others have been in the process way longer than me, but its been 7 months since SI and not a word about the polygraph. What frustrates me to no end is how I've been seeing people on here who just took the exam 4 months ago and already are done with the process. Insanity.

[Evolution81]

gs9s do not go quicker took me from 9/17 to 3/19 to get a job offer..i am a gs9 applicant..do not spread misinformation

[MrAce]

Well everyonenon here recently who have gotten the Polly quick are GS9s

[Evolution81]

the only ones that seem to be on a faster track are VRA applicants

[merlin436]

GS-09 applicants pretty much all are either going to be former federal employees or those with some extensive employment history. They might move faster simply because this isn't their first rodeo.

[Tremellio]

I just heard back from the Academy that my neck tattoos are not an issue. Of course, I just have to cover/conceal them in a dress uniform.
Still no news about my polygraph. Hopefully, no news is good news. lol

[d2ep]

Sup GUYS!! I got the call today for Newark, NJ EOD May 24th. Mad Excited!!!

[d2ep]

Hal29 I met my BI twice. Plus he went on vacation while he was reviewing my case. He even called me with an update saying he is on vacation and tomorrow when he comes back he will find out about my case and next day my BI turned green.

[CBPO.BPJ]

Congrats!! d2ep

[d2ep]

CBPO.BPJ thanks bro!

[xknuckles]

Congrats! What was your time frame going through process?

[rergang3]

The process is so strange when I look at other peoples. Got the tentative offer yesterday and I assumed the next step would be E-QIP, but nope, it's the SI in two weeks. Makes me wonder if they would be quicker if they didn't have everyone going about the process in a different order.

[Tremellio]

rergang3 It's never in the same order. Back in 2011, they started with my BI.

[Evolution81]

dont try to make sense of it just look through the thread

[rergang3]

Tremellio Yea I knew it wasn't. I just find it comical now that I'm in the actual process, but hey, I'm all for it.

Evolution81 oh I totally get that and I'm not trying to. Just a simple observation

[SmokeScreen07]

There is no rhyme or reason with any LEA hiring process. It's all about what they want you to do, and when they want it completed.

[Nousername1]

Hal29 hope to see your background clear soon. For me the longest stage in the process has been the BI so far.

[Hal29]

How long for you?

[Nousername1]

5 months since BI interview

[raudy06]

it will be 4 months for me on the 27 of this month.

[Hal29]

Ok, so when I talked to the recruiter they said opr last viewed my file on the 22nd. Is it normal that they would view then go weeks without viewing it? I know little about bi.

[Srhernza115]

Oh so you’re referring to your background investigator? I’m just a little confused seeing there’s recruiters listed on CASS.

[Hal29]

I has my recruiter put an inquiry in on my behalf. I took poly in may. Net my investigator in September. Case submitted on the 5th. Just trying to see what the hold up is. Process has been almost 19 months now. So I felt it was time to ask what was going on. But like always i can never get an answer or clarity. Just that my bi is ongoing and active.

[Srhernza115]

Oh ok. I haven’t been waiting that long but it’s been a few months too since my BI was submitted. I think you should be receiving adjudication here soon. It’s weird how fast things went by in the beginning and now it’s iust sit and wait.

[Hal29]

lets hope so.
