Hello,
my cass it’s at 63%, just had the drug test and I am meeting the Background investigator next week everything else it’s green ✅ How long til I get a call? How long does it take for the drug test to clear? And does anybody know if they are offering Ft lauderdale or Miami?
Thank you.

[David1984]

Silva23 what announcement are you? Was it a DH or veteran? I applied for Miami since it was available when I applied last year. Your lucky that they granted provisional since you already took the drug test before meeting the investigator.

[Lapantoja11]

Just got the call and selected Santa Teresa NM, EOD Feb 14 and academy March 2nd- July 6.
Announcement 18-11, entire process took 1 year and 2 months.

[V_AntCBP]

Congrats man lol , and what the heck you been crying for, only 14 months process, I'm 16 months in and still waiting for background to clear lol Lapantoja11 you only had to wait few weeks for the call...

[Lapantoja11]

Santa teresa new mexico is really good if montana is not available get santa teresa @hal29


I know lol thank god they offered me what i wanted V_AntCBP

[Hal29]

Sounds like a plan.

[raudy06]

Finally!! Congrats.

[dominicano]

Hi, when I went to the SI they gave me a paper with an email. I was told to send them an email after 10 weeks of the SI. can anyone provide me with the email please

[fonzi7979]

dominicano here you are [email protected] I been waiting for the poly since April 2019. They only respond with an automated email. What announcement are you with? I am 19-2 JFK

Good Luck with the process.

[BowMan2006]

dominicano I had the same experience as fonzi7979 you get a generic email. Its a waste of time to email them, they probably get thousands of emails a day.

[corsair]

I've been waiting since March 12th - that email is useless. I'm hoping to get scheduled around the 1 year mark if i'm lucky.

[V_AntCBP]

dominicano I emailed them probably 30 times, only got generic responses and no follow up, don't even bother.. Lol. Just wait and when it's your turn, they will call you. I waited 50 weeks for my poly.

[dominicano]

Thanks guys

[Silva23]

David1984 I am 18-5 and not veteran and didn't know that I was granted provisional clearance? My announcement was not for Miami or Ft Lauderdale at all I am really hoping it can be negotiated.

[jamoranto]

Is it normal to have 2 background investigators working on my file?

[David1984]

jamoranto yes, when I first met with my investigator she informed that there will be another person reaching out to some of my references who were on a different county.

[Swsports22]

Yes, I had at least 3 bc I lived in 3 states. An investigator was assigned for each area.

[Kevin1234]

So I did my drug test on Tuesday, I'm 19-1 JFK.
my Polygraph Reciprocity was approved last week.

I was then called a few days after and told to show up for drug Screening the next day or the day after. I'm at 63% waiting to see how long the remaining process is going to take.

[assembly-jef]

18-3
I just got my e-Qip approved yesterday after I recertify it. Now same as you 63% and just waiting patiently for this process to finish.

[David1984]

Kevin1234 did you apply for DH, veteran, or regular announcement?

[Bklynchyca]

whats your status now, did you get an offer yet?

[Kevin1234]

I applied to regular announcement. David1984

[David1984]

Kevin1234 looks like you have been granted provisional. I wish I would have been so lucky. I have to wait for my background to clear before I take the drug test. Keep us posted

[Jeffman!!]

I'm assuming you had a Polygraph waiver, Kevin1234?

[AMMO2071]

There is a job announcement for “CBP Mission Support Specialist” on USA Jobs.
If I apply to that, will it effect my CBP Officer application?
I just want to make sure I have something lined up after I separate from the Air Force.

[zombiemap]

Nah that doesn’t effect it. You might even like that job more than CBPO. It’s mostly admin work but good pay as well

[AMMO2071]

Awesome. I just really don’t want to apply for it, then have my CBPO application revoked or something.

[Calitown]

It's a non-sworn position and wouldn't affect your application at all with CBPO. I don't even think they poly for the MSS position, however they have begun doing it for Deportation Officer postions.

[fonzi7979]

@ all 19-2 applicants just wondering if anyone received an email or call for the polygraph exam. Any feedback is greatly appreciated . I am 5 months in since completing my SI. I also emailed ICAD but only received an automated response. Was hoping to hear that someone may have received that email.

[MattyjayG]

Polygraph 6-13 and 7-6 passed 7-9

[David1984]

fonzi7979 19-2 polygraph 6/24 and 7/16 passed 7/19

[BowMan2006]

****edoff SI is structured interview, basically the review panel you were mentioning in a prior post. fonzi7979 I know you are pumped to be a CBP officer but the people have been saying the poly is a year out. Make sure this is not your only possible career in life, if you dont make it you will be crushed man. I have other avenues I am pursuing so its not going to rock my world if I dont get it. Good luck hopefully they call us soon, I am only two months wait time in.

[TsFost]

i'm 19-9 ofo & 19-10 bpa, and my poly is tomorrow. are you DH or regular announcement?

[fonzi7979]

MattyjayG thanks for sharing it’s greatly appreciated. Congratulations getting through the polygraph exam. Good Luck to you with the rest of the process. Hopefully the waiting game is over from here out.

[V_AntCBP]

****edoff SI= Structured Interview

[Turboboigti]

Hey guys, 19-6 Regular Hire for EWR or JFK, today marks exactly 25 weeks since SI.
I am planning on going on vacation in late December, how much time do people usually have between the Polygraph email and the test itself?
Thank you.

[V_AntCBP]

depend, usually couple weeks out, but sometimes they contact and ask if you want to come the next day because someone cancelled.. as long as you have access to email, you can ask the examiner for the date that you would be available. Turboboigti they will work with you.

[Turboboigti]

V_AntCBP Thank you so much.

[David1984]

Turboboigti for me personally it was a little more than a month but I think everyone is different. I was first initially contacted in May and got scheduled on 6/24

[BowMan2006]

standtheman When I went through they were not mean but they had to know how you think and if your line of thinking works for CBP. I think if anything you could say they were grilling you and to some I guess it could come off as rude/mean. But with police they dont beat around the bush and I respect that, they just ask you stuff out right. I think it was easier then a regular job interview, overall good experience for me.

[standtheman]

BowMan2006. both interviewers were not grill or mean or rude. i meants those people who went infront of me saying they were mean and i was the last one went into the SI that day and both interviewers were so nice and professional.

[standtheman]

what i actually meant what i saw and felt was totally different than those 3 people in front of me.

[BowMan2006]

standtheman I know what you meant, I am agreeing with you on the nice and professional comment. Just people in a law enforcement job are more direct in the way they talk so the applicants might of seen it as rude/mean.

[standtheman]

BowMan2006 i can tell they do not mean any rude/mean (is just the way they are) but some people very sensitive about what they hear lol.
