CBP officer

[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.

How are my 18-8 doing

[V_AntCBP]

18-8, still waiting on poly... almost 11 months since SI, suck man zombiemap

[Hou33guy]

Got my call today for a lady in opr telling me my medical cleared

[Yongky Sunyoto]

[Yongky Sunyoto]

[Yongky Sunyoto]

2ndGenFed not yet it still under review, did u had the same problem like me?

[jdop7]

I submitted the exact same form, except my vision was 20/200. I got disqualified. Then a couple months later I got Lasik, reapplied, and submitted forms that declared I now had 20/20 and finally got cleared! I know the CBP website says that vision must be 20/100 or better, but I remember seeing some guy in this forum who claimed he was 20/300 in one eye and was at the academy (this was maybe like a year ago though). So, who knows, the only way to know for sure is just to wait, which is absolutely dreadful.

[standtheman]

Yongky Sunyoto i will suggest you do lasik and re apply again. I had same situation and same vision like you. After i submitted this form and they had me wait for 2 months and dq me. then i did lasik and re applied again. now i had my green mark on my medical.

[kingreem#11]

18-4 HERE. I just got cleared of my medical after one year 2 months. How long would it before a BI contacts me. Equip green, medical green, SI green, fitness test green, VRA... I'm hoping to stay in my state of Florida. I been hearing the Polygraph test is a year out. I finished my bachelors degree in 2 months, i wonder if they would consider me for A GS 7 position

[V_AntCBP]

after you get your bachelor, reapply, make sure your transcript shows that "Bachelor Awarded" on last page, everything will transfer over and you should be selected as GS7. kingreem#11 wait, you are VRA? should you apply for GS9? if you have 2 years experience in military or something, you should qualify for GS9, read the description for sure..

[Hou33guy]

I have 6yrs military, and associates degree and i didnt get gs9 only got gs7

[kingreem#11]

How do you know when your BI starts? My BI just says in progress right now.

[cam04]

When your BI contacts you

[corsair]

If you didn't take the Polygraph I dont see them reaching out to you anytime soon.

[Coderedpl]

Submitted another application since my previous was denied due to resume in December. Kind of hoping I'd get by without taking the test again as they told me but we will see

[V_AntCBP]

If you took the entrance after August 2018, it will transfer over, before that, you will have to retake as result is no longer valid. I had to retake myself Coderedpl but you never know, you may be lucky..

[Coderedpl]

V_AntCBP I got the email to fill out the assessment and it gave me the option to use previous score, so took that option.

[V_AntCBP]

cool, maybe you are one of the special case Coderedpl cross fingers, because entrance suck, looking at computer screen 3 4hrs totally suck... I had to retake when I reapplied to new announcement.

[CBP19_2_12dec]

can you apply to different CBP listing if you already have an application for CBP , in my case 19-2. Would this replace or affect my previous application?

i am at 38% on the one application and was going to apply to a different listing with different location preferences.

[V_AntCBP]

sure you can, everything will just transfer over, I reapplied before.

[CBP19_2_12dec]

Thanks for the response, I was asking because just as I was going to reapply it said a new application would overwrite my previous selection

[Coderedpl]

CBP19_2_12dec there was something on the application about current in process applications when I was first submitting everything, don't remember exact wording but it did not apply to me as my previous application was simply denied due to resume format, so this counted as new but during the assessment it allowed me to use previous score.

[Swsports22]

I reapplied to a new announcement. Everything transferred over within a few weeks. When I got the final call I was offered locations from both announcements

[Nousername1]

How many had the BI take longer than 9 months?

[JimmyW777]

Mine has been going on since October but they OPR recently contacted me with a simple clarification

[CBP19_2_12dec]

19-2 here
Anyone not able to see there application on CASS, happened to me without notification. Reached out to case manager and other aliases but no response.

anyone know why this would happen, I’m freaking out

[MrAce]

Any other 18-9s? Where in the process are you. I’ve been waiting for Polly since August...

[Seminoles44]

EOD in September. Man, what’s the hold up?

[MrAce]

Seminoles44 Not sure. Everything else went smoothly... shouldn’t be any hold ups. Just waiting for Polly date

[V_AntCBP]

I'm right with you brother, waiting for SI since August with no medical issues or eqip rejected MrAce, maybe the hold up for me is I was born outside US, and travel a lot internationally (just tourism not work related, I like traveling and see different places). What is your background? born here or outside US? and to make matter worse, I know someone 19-4 DH GS5 just got call for drug test. Lol. He is not VRA or anything, he lives in Florida, like 30 mins away from me so location is the same as me. so idk wtf is going on. The only thing he has different than me is he was born here in US and never traveled outside US, he doesn't even have passport.

[2ndGenFed]

Okay here's the issue....

I applied for CBPO Regular Hire 19-1 on 10/2018
Testing, SI, PFT all passed 11/2018 and pending Poly. Been sitting at 38% since.

My medical is still pending. I was asked to provide updated vision information. I'm 20/20 with corrective vision (contacts) but 20/400 uncorrected so I'm worried I'm going to be disqualified. I've read that some people get the email from CBP to get corrected surgery by a set date or their application gets disqualified. Is that true?

I already planned on getting PRK after getting into DHS to not delay the process but now I'm thinking I should go ahead and get it done while my SI and Exams are still good and reapply again.

Thoughts?

[November11th]

I want to know the same thing. My vision isn’t 20/200 more like 20/100 but I still want the surgery done now.

[standtheman]

2ndGenFed November11th. likely they will DQ you guys. i had the same situation in my previous application. i planned to do lasik and they already dq me and told me if i do lasik, i have to re apply again and wait for 3 months. So after i done my lasik, i reapply in the 2nd week and waited for 3 months for them to send me another papers for my doctor to retest my eyes again. After i submitted papers work, they had me waited for another 2 months and finally my medical has a green check mark on it. so i suggest to do lasik and reapply again asap.

[2ndGenFed]

@standtheman

I sent an email today to my case manager to get their input. I haven't been disqualified so I'm trying to be proactive. Thanks for the input. What I'm curious is if I reapply for another announcement does my passing of my exam and SI and PFT continue to count? I took my exam, SI and PFT 11/18. Currently I'm 38% for the CBPO 19-1 Regular Hire announcement. I'm going to get Lasik next month and if everything transfers do I just redo medical?

[November11th]

I meet the requirements for the vision without glasses. The requirements without glass is 20/100 which i meet. I just want the surgery done but I’ll wait till after standtheman

[BayAreaCBP]

update: CBPO 19-3
had to redo portion of my medical exam (paid out of pocket) on May 2019 and also had to resubmit my EQIP on June 2019. Still at 25%. This is for SFO duty location.

[David1984]

So after taking my polygraph on 6/24 and my examiner giving me a verbal pass I received an e-mail today saying that I would need to go back in to retest.

My question for the people who who had to retest do you have to go and do the whole thing again or just a specific section? Any help or advice is appreciated.

[BenGrynsztajn]

From what I’ve been reading on people who had to take a second poly, it’s usually more focused on certain parts from the first poly

[jeliquin85]

who do you contact to take the poly again after not passing the first one ?
