[Hou33guy]

I gave my boy the same email and wording 2 days ago and he just sent me his email just now for his polygraph next month on the 8th in Houston lol it works, just gotta be proactive

[Hou33guy]

It aint a competition, and we all have jobs and family, life will go on regardless. Excited ummmm naw not til i pass my polygraph which should be a breeze, nothing in my pass besides military and secret clearance. I just know it wont take me 2+ yr to be where you are at. But save some of that luck for yourself G, you probably earned it.

[Hal29]

Two plus years... ummmmm, nah it's been less than 2 years. But i assure you it will be closer to two years than 1 year. If it wasn't for some issues I had to clear up which caused me to reapplied I would of been hired already. G? That's interesting. Well I don't need luck. I deal with patients. I know how the process works and once my equip gets sent to opr I'll be back 63%, wait for bi to pass. If not, it's all good. I have other departments who are there is no issue with my bi and which I'm going to sweat it. But don't let arrogance get the best of you by saying the poly is a breeze. It's about 4+ hours with over a 70% failure rate. Past law enforcement and military have failed. Just because your military doesn't mean it's a safe bet. To each their own. I wish you the best. But just because I chose not to apply to both agencies doesn't mean I'm less fortunate than you.

[Hal29]

to say just apply to swb over northern border because northern Ports because they are full is false. Maine, vermont, michigan, North Dakota. They are desperate to. Hence the reason they are offering incentives for those ports as well. Fyi.

[I’m a ninja]

That’s true hal. My buddy is being sent for Swb to Maine and Florida because they are short handed. They send him for lengths of 6 weeks. He said he likes it because he earns more $. Not sure how. I didn’t ask

[jjsince97]

Just passed my interview in June . Now the wait ..

[NeKro13]

Just starting the process. Didn’t need to take the exam, I work for the BOP currently and trying so hard to leave. Got my equip in my email but still waiting for the registration number and it’s been over 24 hours. Interview scheduled on the 23 of this month in Dallas.

[V_AntCBP]

contact your case manager for the number. Last time, they gave me 10 days to complete my eqip, I waited 3 days for the registration number, finally I called them, they were like, ooops, sorry. We forgot NeKro13

[Hal29]

I've been waiting on equip for 2 months.

[douglasgene1]

The SI is easy, dress nice and answer logically. CBP interview was the eastiest LEO interview I’ve ever done

[NeKro13]

Albax0385 It me jutst a little over a week. I applied under the VRA with 1 year LEO experience.

@V_ant I did that and got my code. thanks.

douglas Copy that.

QUESTION
I just got the email today to re-certify my medical because it has been more than a year since i took it, nothing has changed except I recently got two of my wisdom tooth removed, and was put on some antibiotics for the pain for a week. My question is, is this something significant enough to declare on the form? they dont specifically ask for anything that has to do with dental.

Thanks ahead.

[FutureCBPO95]

I received that same email today. Question 4 asks if you have been treated by any clinics, physicians, healers, or other kind of practitioner. I would put that info there. It might delay the process a bit. But it would be worse if you put "No" and then they somehow see that you were in a clinic and then you are withdrawn.

[Hou33guy]

If u want more waiting time and additional info

[Gdelgado0220]

Is it a self certification form?

[raudy06]

FutureCBPO95 someone inside told me he doesnt think a dentist visit is necessary but to disclose it. Hou33guy and i did it outside the country while i was on vacation last week in Dominican Republic, smh.
Gdelgado0220 yes it is.

[Aaronag12]

For those of you who have been in the process for more than a year and had to re certify your medical. Did you lost anything and if so how long did it delay you?

[Aaronag12]

raudy06 FutureCBPO95 Hou33guy if it's a self certification how would they verify to make sure you didnt have any injuries? Aren't medical records private?

[Hou33guy]

I guess they would have to know what hospitals to check lol

[raudy06]

Like BenGrynsztajn said, you signed the medical release form, as far as how will they go about checking (if they feel like they have to) idk, its the government and they have their ways I guess.

[FutureCBPO95]

If you knowingly withhold any information from CBP and later find your application automatically withdrawn, dont blame CBP.

[BenGrynsztajn]

FutureCBPO95 withholding information will not only withdraw your application it will also most likely prevent you from getting any federal job, not worth it. People just need to be open and honest.

[Aaronag12]

I had shoulder surgery and let them know. I was just wondering how they would be able to check every applicant

[Pmag015]

Im 19-3. Im waiting on a polygraph to be scheduled. Sitting at 50%. Would it overwrite my current regular cbpo announcement tentative selection process if I applied for a new CBP Direct Hire announcement? Thank you.

[invertedPanda]

No, you'll just have an additional application out there and everything will catch up to your current one.

[Pmag015]

invertedPanda Do you think it would it speed up the process if I select direct hire and select a southern border port?

[applicantof2019]

That's what im trying. I originally went for Regular hire, but recently put in for direct hire, med and SI scheduled based on my regular hire. so no changes yet.

[fonzi7979]

@ 19-2 announcement for JFK port. I am wondering if anyone has received a call or email about the polygraph. I’m in that boat sitting at 50% awaiting for my Polygraph exam. Anyone care to share any feedback will be greatly appreciated. Good luck to all in this hiring process.

[corsair]

I'm originally 19-4 Newark and I'm sitting 126 days since I passed my SI - I'm fine waiting if its meant to be it will workout.

[MattyjayG]

19-2 63% Waiting on drug and background. I Just received an email from a Program Manager congratulating me on my success so far with the process.

[Krash777]

fort1978 funny that your investigator told you to text because mine told me not to because it’s against CBP policy to text or correspond with each other through email.

[applicantof2019]

division is full of rebels

[fort1978]

Yeah that is pretty funny. Mines gave me his business card and everything and said call or text him. So I did the day before he turned in my packet and he answered even asked him some questions and he answered all of them. Asked him do we need to meet again and he said no that's it.

[Whue Yhue]

Are there any 18-10 or 19-1 applicants on here.if so where are you at in the process. im still waiting on the polygraph to be scheduled. i originally applied in July of 2018 and then again in October 2018. I took my SI and fitness test in September of 2018 and my medical in October of 2018. Heard nothing back until February of 2019 had to submit additional medical docs by April 2019. Finally sitting at 50% as of June 16th 2019. I'm just wondering where others are in the process

[jdop7]

19-1 DH at 50% originally 18-6 DH. Took SI, physical agility, and medical in May 2018. Everything cleared except for medical. Turned in additional med info in July. October came and I got medically disqualified because of my vision. Got Lasik. Reapplied that same October, and medical finally cleared in April 2019. Been waiting for poly since.

[SmokeScreen07]

@ Whue Yhue Wow I can't believed you cleared medical so fast, are you DH or Regular?. I did my medical the same month as you, I got placed on review in March, sent docs in within a week, and I still haven't heard a peep from them. I emailed them and they have yet to respond.

[Whue Yhue]

SmokeScreen07 actually total time to clear medical was 8 months. But i was very persistent and made phone Calls and emails once a month for 2 months. 2 weeks after the 2nd month thats when i knew i had cleared medical. Now im trying a new approach for the polygraph and see if i can meet them instead on waiting on them to be in town. Also i am VRA applicant 5/7/9

[cam04]

19-1 DH at %63
I applied October 2018

[Aaronag12]

Submitted my self medical certification had shoulder surgery a few months ago so my app went down from 88% to 75% anyone deal with a medical issue how long will it delay the process?

[FutureCBPO95]

Mine went down from 75% to 63% :/ because of the self certification.

[JimmyW777]

Who is still waiting for background to clear and sitting at 63% now? I've been contacted about additional information but it's still pending as of June 14th. I hope mines clear soon anyone in a similar situation?

[dannyboy33]

18-3: been sitting at 63% since August of 2018! I already had my field investigation done in May and still at 63% SMH I quit

[raudy06]

dannyboy33 took 7 months for mine to clear.

[I’m a ninja]

Been at 63% since I passed my poly in July 2018. Lol

[JimmyW777]

Dang sounds too rough for people been waiting longer than me. Especially with checking the cass app and see no change. I'll keep updating until I finally get adjudicated. Hope it comes next week because today is Friday.

[Fubbu01]

If my EOD is August 19, when should be I expecting my on-boarding email? I’m already a federal worker so I don’t need to sign anything for incentives.

[Swsports22]

Probably the first week of August.

[SpenserJ9]

Still waiting on results from drug test and the call. Hopefully it doesnt take a month. Sitting at 75% and drug is the final step

[raudy06]

any news on the DT?
