yupperssss.

[fonzi7979]

collapse thanks for sharing what announcement are you in and are you going to JFK. I’m waiting for my Polygraph exam to be scheduled. How long after SI did they call you or email you? Just curious I here all these horror stories about the poly any advise it seems like for every 10 only 3 pass the poly.

[collapse]

@fonzi7979
I'm 18-6 I picked Champlain, NY, but if I get the call I'll ask if JFK is available.

I did the SI in July and they called be for the poly at the beginning of Oct.

Be calm, don't overthink is all I can say about the poly really. I failed in 2016, went in to this one with a been there whatever mindset.

[CBPO.BPJ]

Hal29 yes, I've been looking into those aleady. You know, we need to be prepared!

[Hal29]

What I like about Rio rico is that you got rural areas and the views are awesome.

[Scrappydoo]

Rio rico about 20 mins from Nogales and cheaper and Sahuarita about a hour from Nogales and about 15 mins from Tucson more family oriented and expensive... I'm also thinking being closer to Tucson would be a good thing..

[ROBYM88]

Rio Rico is like 10 to 15 minutes from the port but schools are poor and housing options are limited compared with Green Valley or Sahuarita. Sahuarita is 40 to 45 minutes and schools are way better. There is also more to do there. There is not much in Nogales

[TheChicagoKid1990]

Finished everything and waiting for the last call at 88% since last Friday. Feeling annoyed lol

[transamracer94]

How's it going everyone, applied May 2019, just got my email for E-qip and email confirmation for SI in June. It seems like the process for me is going pretty quickly. Why does it seem for everyone else that it is taking forever.

[Hal29]

What grade are you and what steps have you completed? Usually after si it slows down drastically.

[corsair]

I completed 50% in less than two months - its a drag afterwards

[transamracer94]

Hal29 GL9, I'm starting my Eqip today. SI is 6/3 and just completed the form and dates for the medical exam.

Brings another question the medical exam, where does that take place? Will I have to travel to Tucson or will it be a facility near me?

[Hal29]

The medical will be closer to you. They usually try to make it as convenient as possible.

[merlin436]

Hey everyone!

Does anyone know what the overtime opportunities are like at the New Orleans field office? I saw a PDF from CBP that had a recap of overtime budgets from 2014-2016 and New Orleans appeared to have the least amount of funding.

There's this...

https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/fi...0FY%202016.pdf

That provides CBPO staffing levels based on Field Offices, N.O. included. Use this along with your other PDF and you can get an idea of the mean average in overtime offered up by each Field Office during those years.

[leo1112]

Yup took SI in March ? Submitted revised eqip a month ago still waiting for having to resubmit eqip or advance to polygraph...

[leo1112]

My port is in ny/nj area

[Turboboigti]

Hey whats up? I am 19-6 for Newark NJ or JFK NY. What announcement are you?

[leo1112]

19-4 process really slowed down lol

[fonzi7979]

leo1112 what announcement are you in.

[leo1112]

19-4 I believe?

[Hewho]

Hi everyone, so i had my SI yesterday for CBPO. Everything went well, i answered everything with confidence. After the interview they just advised me to wait in the lobby. After that they just told me the SI was concluded and to wait for the results. I took one for BPA and they told me then and there that i passed. I know the same thing has happened to some people where they dont tell them anything and then still pass. How was it for those of you that did the SI for CBPO? Do they usually tell you there if you passed?

[Hewho]

It was 3 of us there for the SI and we all got fingerprinted before the interview. Still havent received anything. But staying positive.

[corsair]

Wow only 3 - when I was there it was over 15, no wonder it takes forever for poly in NJ/NY

[standtheman]

i was actually did finger print first then SI after. LOL

[xknuckles]

Officer hinted to me that when it goes fast, its usually a sign to say you passed.

[WoundedGoose]

Anyone else here apply around the 18-10VRA announcement? I been stuck at 38% for about 7 months now. Waiting to have my poly scheduled.

[Hal29]

If your waiting on poly why you only at 38%. You waiting on medical? That has to clear before you can do poly.

[WoundedGoose]

If that's the case that would explain it. I had to resubmit one thing for medical (eye exam). That was back in December and still hasn't cleared.

[pnw360]

I'm 19-1 VRA and still waiting for my poly. Nothing has happened with my application since December when I did the medical.

[Alpha0556]

How strict is med review? If they hire disabled veterans, wouldn’t they expect those disabled veterans to have aches and pains/mobility limitations? I can still pass the PT test with zero issues and more, just worried it’s a waste of time submitting all of these med review packets if they expect perfection.

[Hal29]

They don't expect perfection. Just that you are capable of doing the job.

[Swsports22]

Just finished the drug test. Hoping to get a call soon

[TheChicagoKid1990]

What port did you apply to?

[Swsports22]

Initially for eagle pass. Since that application more ports I’d rather go too opened. When I first spoke to headquarters they said I would have to reapply to the new port do I did. Few days later I was contacted again and told as long as the remaining portions are successful I shouldn’t have an issue getting Baltimore. So we will see. I choose provisional bc I already hold a secret clearance as a federal Leo

[Thinkmango]

[Hopejoy]

Hi everyone,
After meeting your bi how long was your waiting time to getting the CALL?

[Hopejoy]

The two weeks I believe is for the ones that were granted provisional.

[Gdelgado0220]

Around 2 weeks if you’re granted the provisional. If not you have to wait for the BI to clear which can take a couple months.After it’s cleared you’re scheduled for your drug test Then you’re referred to TSU. then you should get the call a couple days after that

[Hopejoy]

It has been way over couple months here.

[TheChicagoKid1990]

I took my drug test April 23rd and my BI cleared in the CASS app last Friday I’m just waiting for the call. I was cleared for both by BPA 3 weeks ago and they called me but hoping for the CBP spot if they give me the one for Chicago.

[nickg317]

Hello guys, I have a question regarding the EQIP...

On 5/4 I received a call from the hiring center and the gentleman told me that my EQIP was ready to be released to OPR and I needed to verify my it and resubmit, as it was outdated. I did that on the same day and added some additional information. I still haven't received notification that it was released and it is not reflected on CASS. Do you think that adding that additional info will cause it to take longer? In other words, editing it put my back into this "lottery
' of having EQIPS looked at?

19-3 sitting at 38%

[corsair]

Hm hasn't been that long I'd wait a little bit more - When I made changes I was the one who proactively asked them to do so, off the top of my head I don't recall the time frame of it going green on CASS.

[nickg317]

Ok, thanks corsair

[nickg317]

corsair just got the email today that it was released lol
