CBP officer

[CBP19_2_12dec]

I checked CASS a couple days ago and my application is no longer there. This is after my background check was sent to OPR and while my medical is being reviewed. Anyone have a similar experience and/or know why this would be ?

[silvas006]

Has anyone used this as a stepping stone to get an 1811 job? FBI, DEA, ICE, SS etc?

[merlin436]

Hundreds, if not thousands have used OFO and the legacy positions as a stepping stone into 1811 positions.

[Talonderiel]

silvas006, I have two friends from the service that have done exactly that. Started with CBPO and then moved on to HSI.

[silvas006]

Talonderiel Do you know how long they were in CBPO before moving to HSI? That's what I hope to do.

[Talonderiel]

silvas006, one was with AMO for 7 years and the other was a CBPO for 3 years..... The one with AMO stayed a little longer because he was enjoying driving boats and riding helicopters/planes. :P

So I just got an email that I need to have an updated medical form for my application. I’m still waiting on my results for the drug test to get back. This is the last step in my application. Does this mean that I will be getting the call here soon?

[bonds525]

Yup you just have to re certify your medical
It’s like a few questions asking if anything has changed since your medical. I would suggest saying no unless you want to be delayed. You will get an email referring you to TSU then the call.

[Gs5183]

I did not receive the tsu email I just got the call. Once they email you back saying your medical is all clear they should call you any day now.

[Elgin_87]

Gs5183 even if your BI have not contacted you yet?

[813Deputy2b]

Hopejoy thank you sir

[Hal29]

It's been over 3 weeks since I submitted my eqip. It's still with hrm under review. Is that normal? I've never seen it take that long before. Just curious.

[cam04]

My polygraph was scheduled 3 months after submitting mine

[SmokeScreen07]

Hal29 Mine took 4 and a half months before they kicked it back, then another month before it was released to OPR

[Hal29]

I reapplied. I've already done medical, pft, si, poly and met investigator. Not sure if I'll meet with one again. But I've never seen equip take this long with hrm. Not even sent to opr.

To anyone that has graduated from the academy*
i am curious,
i know part of the fitness test is 24pushups in 1 min

what I want to know is, do they make you use a block to press your chest on when you come down, like they do during the preemployment fitness test? Or they don’t make you use one? Thanks

[ES90]

Its exactly like the PFT2. You have to use the block, only way to keep the test somewhat objective.

[Mike2686]

That’s good to know. Do they evaluate you when you arrive? And test you through out? Or is it just the one test at the end?

[ES90]

I believe they still do the test 3 times before you graduate, the last one being the only one that matters(assuming you have no pride or dignity). Its the only one that counts.

[douglasgene1]

You take 3 pt test, the 3rd one is the only one that matters to pass. With that being said don’t be the guy or girl who can’t pass the pt test in general.

[David1984]

Can anyone tell me please approximately how long does it take to receive the results or update on CASS of the polygraph?

[cam04]

David1984 my examiner was emailing with someone from QC before our session was over to see if they needed more from me as to a longer session or a 2nd appointment. But they emailed her right back and said I was good to go.

[Hopejoy]

In this case you should expect the QC email of a pass or a retake.

[David1984]

cam04 I don’t believe mine did that or maybe he did when he gave small breaks. But my session wasn’t that long compared to others. I guess I’ll just keep waiting and praying for the best. Thank you

[JPOL]

My examiner gave me results through email within less than 24 hours from completing it. A few days on CASS. My examiner was also part of CBP, not a third party contractor.

18-3. Final offer today. EOD Oct 23 San Luis. Fletc Nov 7 to Mar 23.

One month from polygraph to hire, including background and drug test. SUPER FAST

[Pica24]

Same man I'm 19-3 got Memphis tennesee eod oct 23. Fletc nov 7. Entire process was 6 months for me

[Gs5183]

Same dates for me too, see you FLETC!!

[xknuckles]

How did you get hired so quick pica. I’m 19-3 still waiting for poly and the rest

[barnes14]

What do you do for the EOD period and how long do you get to relocate after FLETC?

[bonds525]

ES90 so what you’re saying is that after graduation you start the next day? Do they expect you to find a place to live and move in during the academy? Sounds ridiculous

[ES90]

Essentially yes, but most people take one or two days after after graduation to get settled. I found a place to live during pre-academy, most people wait until they get back.

[Swsports22]

Well after graduation you’re entitled to a travel day

[ES90]

That's what I meant...^

[category631]

I know this has been brought up before... bringing your own boots to academy... must be polishable toe... just purchased the UA Stellar Tactical... light and extremely comfortable

[bonds525]

A lot of people have those, they don’t last long, I got the Danner tachyons

[category631]

bonds525 thanks for the input... 5.11 ATAC 2.0 were a bit heavy... checking out Rocky Mountain also... my friend in corrections swears by them

[Gs5183]

After 10 years since I first applied, I finally got THE CALL this week.
I read most of the posts in here and I know it can be frustrating but if this is your dream, don’t give up.

I gave up for a couple years to start a different career....
then I reapplied and
I failed the entry exam, then I would pass the entry exam and fail something else, I could never get it right.

I gave up completely last year and applied to border patrol last year, and was offered a job but I rejected it because it wasn’t what I wanted. I reapplied, failed, reapplied and finally passed everything.

EOD 10/23 in Detroit and FLETC 11/7

[Swsports22]

Congratulations. I’ll be at fletc 11/12

[Bklynchyca]

wow, congrats. glad you didn't give up.

[MrCollaz0]

Took my poly over a week ago and I'm starting to get a little anxious. It still says in at 50% and "pending" under polygraph. Some people said it took 2 days for a decision and I was told I'd hear back after about a week. Anyone willing to share how long theirs took to clear?

[Hal29]

2 weeks for me.

[David1984]

MrCollaz0 I took mine last Monday 6/24 and still waiting for an update also.

[Swsports22]

I was notified within 1 business day. Took it on a Friday morning. Was notified I passed Monday morning

[MrCollaz0]

Swsports22 wow that's amazing!

[BenGrynsztajn]

19-7 here. I understand everyone's processing time is different, but anyone have any idea how long it usually takes (on average) for the EQIP to be processed, right now it's still showing as being reviewed by HRM?

[Hal29]

Mine too. I've never seen it take that long before. Mines been over 3 weeks. Makes me wonder if they are having issues with opr.

[CBP19_2_12dec]

Mine was submitted 3 weeks ago as well and now I’m not seeing my application on CASS since Monday but have yet to be notified of anything ...

[CBP19_2_12dec]

Anyone else not seeing there application on Cass anymore , or any ideas as to why my application would no longer show on cass. This is after my application was submitted to opr.

[barnes14]

Has anyone heard of a roommate applying to CBP and getting the same location as you? Its a high demand area (San Luis). Will they put people who are related in the same area?

[merlin436]

I can't see any reason why they wouldn't. Not that I necessarily see the Agency going out of it's way to accommodate people with some sort of kinship or association during the applicant process.

Now, the BP has a "hundred mile" rule in regards to prior residency. Basically, they look to move people at least 100 mile from their location at the time of application to help deal with their misconduct and corruption issues. Supposedly, if a person isn't in their backyard
and working in a community that they are familiar with...they're less supseptible to negative influences...or so they think.

That might screw with the whole "family reunion" notion on the BP side.
