CBP officer

[jgabrielgonz]

Hello guys,

Today I was emailed from IA-HQ-Contractors which OPR. They sent me a letter with a proposal to remove the tentative offer due to family personal conduct. Immediate family members have a criminal history and this is the reason for this proposal. I had to write a letter to explain how it’s against my beliefs and values and explaining each case. I know this is rare but has this issue came up for anyone? Thanks

[corsair]

Wow thats the first time I saw this - thanks for posting this information, I'm sure it will come up for someone down the road.

[Evolution81]

ill tell you like this..you better either consult a lawyer or someone who has had experience with writing a response to this type of NOPA...if this job matters to you of course

[Nieto2588]

I wouldn't involve a lawyer unless it's very convoluted and seems unlikely to overcome. NOPA's are extremely common, although most have to do with prior polygraph results. As long as you're able to articulate why they shouldn't believe you pose a risk to national security through these associates, you should be good to go. If you have a criminal history or other circumstances that strengthen the case against you, it'll be much harder to absolve.

Check out the link below. It goes into exactly what the adjudicator considers when determining the outcome of your BI. Good luck.

Hi, 18-1 here and just wanted to say i had a very similar situation and also had to write a letter. That email was sent to me after my poly, and about three weeks later i was contacted by a BI to start my background so i assume they were satisfied with my answer. Did you already meet your BI?

[Krash777]

DMC1988 i haven’t yet

[Krash777]

I did sign a provisional but have not met or heard from any investigator. I just had my poly last Wednesday.

[Krash777]

OKCsparrow mine was less than two somehow.

[Krash777]

Well I’m fairly confident having held a TS in the military and my sheriffs office background my BI will be just fine. It’s the same agency investigating my background as my TS.

[Talonderiel]

You'd think with an adjudicated clearance that they would speed along the BI for us Vets lol .... At least I'm hoping as mine just got adjudicated in March 2018. So not much has changed. But we shall see! :P

[xknuckles]

SI went fairly quick today. Officer hinted that if the interview goes quickly, it’s usually a good sign. Told me a 6 month wait for polygraph

[Talonderiel]

That's fairly accurate of a wait time unless you apply to BPA too. Welcome to the hurry up and wait game. :P

[Talonderiel]

Just had my poly today. Was about 3.5 hours total. I actually really like this polygraph compared to the local LEO ones that I've done (and am about to do again in a week). It was fairly straight forward and the Polygrapher was awesome! He was a little soft spoken, but I can deal with that :P

I was told that he didn't see any issues with it but the final answer always lays with QC. Dude had an awesome background story as an Army Vet.

[David1984]

Are you a veteran? Seems like you didn’t wait that long for the polygraph.

[Talonderiel]

David1984, yes I am a veteran and signed a provisional clear.... I also applied for BPA and MIA, so that might have helped speed it up.

Technically, my apps are like late 15s or early 16s. But in had a 3 year recall and started the process again in October of 2018.

[Anthony_525]

David1984

I just got a polygraph date today. Scheduled for later this month. EQIP was released to OPR last week. I am 19-4 BPA DH though.

SI scheduled for 4/24/19
POLY scheduled for 4/30/19

[David1984]

I see... that’s good I wish you good luck with the poly.

[radsavage]

Anthony_525 did you get called or emailed to set up the polygraph?

[nhb_zoey]

That’s super fast! Are you veteran? Do you have other announcements open CBPO?

[Briscora]

19-2

E-qip finally completed after it was rejected and resubmitted on 3/13. Currently at 50%

[David1984]

I am also 19-2 stuck on 38% waiting for them to clear me in the medical after I submitted additional paperwork they asked for.

[Scrappydoo]

My Drug Test is scheduled for today hopefully receive the call this week or early next week.

[Danieldv9]

18-1 here, i’ve been in the process a while currently at 63% in cass. I believe my BI sent my background to OPR around September 15, and i haven’t heard anything since. This means it’s been around 7 months (6 months technically because of the shutdown) since it was sent to OPR.

I just wanted to get some feedback if some of you are in similar situations and wanted to know the timeframe some of you had between OPR reviewing your background and being sent for your drug test

[Scrappydoo]

My background was submitted early November and I didnt hear anything until Apr 3rd.. my background cleared on Apr 12th.. I took my drug test Apr 15th.

[Evolution81]

Bi meeting was mid jan..cleared 1.5 months later..pee test 1.5 weeks later

[dannyboy33]

I am 63% 18-3 and waiting for my background as well. Welcome to the club.

[nhb_zoey]

I’ve heard from others waiting 8+ months from submission to reply to another announcement, some have gotten hired already

[Thinkmango]

Just got back home from PFT-1, knocked it all out. During the step test, at the very last second or two my foot slipped but I held my balance just as the audio finished. Hope she didn't fail me for that.

[David1984]

No sounds like a minor hiccup. You should be fine, I wouldn’t stress over that.

[Thinkmango]

How long till I can expect the results?

[David1984]

Mine took less than a week for my results.

[corsair]

My results took 5 days

[jamoranto]

Anyone on here from 17-11? Any movement?

[jamoranto]

@ncavazos
