So I finally was able to talk to a recruiter and he looked up my info and told me the last time my BI was reviewed was Nov.15. I also spoke to him about moving out of state and he said it shouldn’t have any negative impact.

Reached out on March 6th for an update and this is what I was told:

Anyone know if the Personnel Security process is the tail-end of the investigation?

It means nothing.... just another generic response from case manager. I was told that same thing in September. I’m still waiting for a poly date. Best piece of advice just keep going on applying to other places and forget about it till someone emails you. -
It is definitely generic because I asked over a month ago and got the same thing. Still waiting also. My background was turned in back before the shut down...

Hi all. Need some help please. I just received email from medical review unit asking for additional information. My initial document mentioned a medication (escitalopram) that I have been taking on and off which is used for anxiety. They also want me to get a mental. I am honestly worried that this is a disqualifier.
has anyone had to go thru additional screening for this type of diagnosis?
your comments are much appreciated.Comment

I get paid disability from the VA for anxiety, I had to go to a psychologist take a test and talk about my whole life for like 3 hours. They wrote a report and filled out the DHS paperwork for me. They accepted my paperwork.
If you have insurance call you insurance and see what psychologist they cover to keep you're cost low -
I did and I just got cleared this morning as of 3/20. Ive waited 7 months for results that they used from july 2017 -
thank you all for your feedback. douglas : I called my insurance to get a list of providers. They have not called me back yet. I also called so many psychologists/psychiatrists but wont take me unless I commit to at least six sessions or as someone else said to me "unless you are in crisis".

For those that did their poly in Texas, mainly middle to northern TX, how was you experience?Comment

Ok so I have some tests coming up and one interview with some police departments. I really want to work for cbp but I can't wait for ever. Kind of gotta do what is best for my family and I. I'm not getting any younger. Some of the department's pay around the same as I would get as a gs7. The one I have the interview with pays far less then I would get with cbp and would take me two years to get to a gs7 pay scale which completely sucks. But I get a take home vehicle and is closer to where I live. Not my first or even my second choice. But like I said. I can't wait forever and it doesn't seem like I'll hear soon. I'm gonna ride out the ship, but if I'm offered then I'll go down that road. Like I said if I was younger I would wait, but to each their own I guess.Comment

You live your life as if you never applied...you do not have the job with CBP until you really get your EOD/Academy date -
I hear ya evolution. That is what I'm going to do. Just ignore. My goal is to be in law enforcement. Where I don't really care...lol. cbp is a dream but I'll keep my options open. -
No I'm all set with fort worth. Last time applied there, there was roughly around 1,400 applicants. I scored a 93 and was still around 200 in the pecking order. I have applications here in Texas and a couple in Oklahoma and one in arkansas .One in Oklahoma I have an interview.
But I'm just gonna go with the flow. While I'm focused on these department's cbp may contact me. But I'm going on with life as if i never applied. I'm at the very end and I'm not going to stress about it. Gotta be proactive. It would be one thing if my current job was good but it's not.

Although I'm new to this process I'd recommend all those applying to reference the CBP website - its been spot on with everything so far. For those worried about the step test I highly recommend practicing, I found a youtube video "CPP PFT 1 5 Minute Step Test. With Vocal Prompts" to be extremely beneficial and its the same audio from the test. I practiced on the stairs at home and ended up finding a wood rogue block at the gym with different heights and practiced with that as well.

Has anyone been waiting as long as I have ....CBPO 17-11. I want to see the light at the end of the tunnel already ...its been a looong process for me.Comment
-
NCavazos, hold on! You should be next. Technically, I applied in the 15-8 timeframes... but then did a 3 year recall that put everything on hold, so can't hold that against CBP :P
Hopefully the end of your tunnel comes soon! -
Me next ?!? Uff wouldn't that be amazing lol I'm sure i still have several months to go. I already learned not to hold my breath waiting to hear anything soon. Problem is ..I ain't gettin any younger lol so its either they take me or I'm put out to pasture lol -
I’m 17-11 and still waiting on BI and drug test! We’ll get there someday with a final answer!!

Sorry trying to figure out how to delete a repeated post/reply. ..new to site and learning my way around hereLast edited by ncavazos; 03-19-2019, 05:21 PM.Comment

So I was at the Tire Store yesturday morning waiting to get my tires done when a phone call came in, I didn’t recognize it so I Immediately delicned it... then I’m like, that number looks familiar “maybe it was CBP for my Polly”. Then the voice mail comes in... 19 seconds long.... getting excited cause spam calls leave 0 second ones... put the phone to my ear “Hello this message is for (My Name) from (My Bank)... we have detected fraudulent purchases and are deactivation your debit card”.... great... Still waitingComment
-
Hopejoy, then we are in the same boat. I did my poly in may. Met my investigator in September. -
**** my poly was 4 hours of mind numbing wall watching.....blood pressure cuff cutting my blood circulation off....not being able to move while the testing is active is something else -
MrAce, I know that feeling! I'm waiting on the Poly for 3 months now (I know, I'm still a youngin' in the wait process :P) but I normally screen calls I don't know. So this process is making every scammer call a fun process! lol

Good Afternoon Brothers and Sisters, I applied under the CBPO announcement VRA 19-3 in December 2018 and got my tenative selcetion email 1 February 2019. There are many forums for my announcment for direct hire but i havent seen anyone else make a posintg for VRA. So far Ive submitted my Backgroud Invetigation, completed the Physical, submitted the EQUIP, and 27 FEB 19 my Polygraph Waiver was APPROVED from the high clearance I currently hold. Its been a few weeks and I havent heard anything, im assuming my structured interview should be next. Also the APP has been on zero percent since I got my applicant ID. Is there anyone else here that applied under VRA 19-3 that is done or almost done the process ? And also should I send the CBP Hiring center an email in regards to my process ? Thank you everyone and look forward to the repliesComment

I applied under VRA. I have submitted equip, medical and SI. Waiting on results. 19-4 -
Talonderiel - DHS will never accept secret clearance for waiver. To get a secret they run a credit check and a quick background check...if that clears they give you the secret the same day. a secret clearance is really a joke. (ive held one as well) -
Talonderiel They mustve changed it then, because if that was the case I woud've applied for the waiver since June when I submitted the equip.. I have a TS/SCI + active duty time , but when I asked for the waiver the guy told me it might take a little while but there were poly dates available and asked me what I wanted to do.. so I chose the poly because it seemed like the faster option.
I doubt they'll lower it to secret, they give those away to almost anyone...

Looking at my archived EQIP copy I made some minor mistakes such as a phone number and accidentally listing one of my main references another time in the EQIP.
My EQIP hasn't been sent to OPR yet, is it okay to e-mail the case manager and ask to edit/correct it?CBPO 19-2

That would be best thing to do. When I had to reverify I had done something similar and didnt notice untill i I released it.. They called me back and I was asked if I needed it released back to me so that I could add any information that I missed. Once you meet with your BI i believe you also can give him/her any recent changes in phone#s and things like that. This is a long process and addresses and #s can change by time you get near the end so its only fair that we get a chance to make corrects...i think anyway. ...best of luck to you. -
I had the same problem - I emailed them but I'm awaiting a response. If you end up trying to call they advise on sending the questions by email during the prompts. -
Awesome! glad to hear that. Wishing you a smooth ride from here on out. Good luck
