CBP officer

AmandaLynne4282 congrats. We’re you by any chance offered Buffalo ny also? Just curious to see if Buffalo
is still being offered.

[AmandaLynne4282]

@whitejj72 I wasn’t able to get buffalo because my score wasn’t high enough on entrance exam is what I was told when I got entrance exam results. I wasn’t offered buffalo during call but offered many other places but I had to ask for Alex Bay.

What do I do if a lot happened since I completed my e-qip? Such as traveling outside the country and starting a new government job? Do I wait for the BI to update them?

[V_AntCBP]

Wait until after poly, you have plenty chances to update those info

[IanCBP]

Question about T5 BI. I had a T5 BI for DOD 5 years ago. Is this old BI still good for CBPO? If it still works, who should I talk to?

[Dodge_Guy19-4]

I think most people that have seen any sort of BI reciprocity have active clearance. No need to contact about it, OPR would make that decision based off review of your SF86. Poly waiver on the other hand you have to request if you qualify.

[IanCBP]

Dodge_Guy19-4 Thank you very much

[EE626619]

Hey guys, I passed my poly on 11/12. Today I was asked to recertified my E-Qip so I did that, and I have my Drug Test tomorrow morning. Can anyone give me a timeline of what I should be expecting in the next few weeks/ months? Also, Why was my Drug Test before my Background? Will I have someone calling me to meet with my BI or for EOD? Anything will help thank you.

[JZ71LT]

Sounds like you have a provisional clearance. Your background will most likely clear after you EOD

[AmandaLynne4282]

FLETC date 12th of Feb, EOD for JFK. I was told by someone who is already at FLETC that you can have your POV.

See you there!

[fonzi7979]

Congrats. Just curious what announcement are you in for JFK port. I am trying to see how far I am out until I get called for the polygraph.

[eikichi10]

I'm 17-10 for JFK

[antoniojeff808]

So i just found out today that my CASS already at 100% complete. What's next after everything complete? I know that couple wks prior to EOD, thas when u hear from the management back again. Just waiting to get ship out for EOD and basic training academy; Feb 25, and Mar 11 til Jul 15 respectively.

18-9

[CAL0231]

antoniojeff808 I have the same class dates, see you there!

[V_AntCBP]

Aussie_xo man, 18-10 and 88%? you just have to make my day worse huh? lol just jk, you got EOD right? due to provisional? I have to wait for background to clear before EOD... Nousername1 lol they have all the info, all the background, not like they have to investigate anything else, I don't know why it takes so long to review and say yes or no... smh people already EOD August 2020, we are in it for 2021 for sure man....

[Aussie_xo]

V_AntCBP sorry sweetface! I swear its because me mum is a foreign national! I, according to them, chose provisional. I don't honestly remember choosing it, but knowing me I probably did. The people I had on my background were the same as my dad's, but my parents have been married 30 years and hes had clearance due to his military so. I'm not worried about it.

[antoniojeff808]

CAL0231 k shoots, see u there.. where do u EOD?

[AmandaLynne4282]

Congrats. Just curious what announcement are you in for JFK port. I am trying to see how far I am out until I get called for the polygraph.

I am going to academy around same time you are. I am not going to JFK. Going to Alexandria Bay

[Dodge_Guy19-4]

************

[shades0132]

Dodge_Guy19-4 I definitely understand that. Thank you. I guess I should have worded it more clearly. I'm interested in seeing what the newest announcement is that has been selected to go to training?

[Kevin1234]

My EOD is Feb 14th and my Academy date is March 2nd to July 6th... I wish I had some people from NY those same dates, if I do I'll definitely drive and car pool it.

[shades0132]

Kevin1234 Congratulations! Best of luck to you. I'm 19-11 GS9 waiting on Poly. I'm actually in process w/ other agencies so i have no idea if some of the processes like medical, poly, BI are transferable between agencies. I look forward to serving my country in anyway possible.

[bchalmers]

Post 19-10. I got EOD Aug 28, 2020 and start the academy Sep 14, 2020. As of right now I'm going to Lukeville, AZ because I live in Scottsdale, AZ right outside of Phoenix.

I'm active duty military right now and get out of the Army Aug 24 2020. I tried to get Phoenix airport but there were no openings there so I went with Southern Arizona.

Anyone know where you go to EOD?

Anyone going to the academy that time?

[raudy06]

you EOD at your selected POE

[MattCBP]

Since your VRA you didn't ask to wait for an opening at the airport ? bchalmers

[bchalmers]

MattCBP I asked for Phoenix Airport and they said NO. My wife and I wanna stay in AZ but Lukeville is 2 1/2 hours from the Phoenix area. There is NOTHING, I mean NOTHING between Phoenix and Lukeville.

Trying to contact Lukeville to get some questions answered on an officers standpoint, like commuting, living stuff like that.

[Walla183]

Regarding polygraph reciprocity. If an applicant was in process for both CBPO and an 1811, and passed the polygraph for the 1811, would that count towards reciprocity?

[dominicano]

Hey all I just received an email from OPR “The Customs and Border Protection Agency is processing your application for employment. As part of the next phase in the security process, you are being scheduled for a continuation of your last polygraph examination.

[V_AntCBP]

Sounds like you need to come back for 2nd round, finish up whatever part didn't get good read... dominicano its all good, people need to do this all the time... and pass... good luck man

[BowMan2006]

dominicano Good luck, this is definitely positive news.

[dominicano]

Thank you bro hope everything comes out good

[fonzi7979]

Just be positive it will all work out. What announcement are you in and what port are requesting?

[NYCFinest3201]

Hi everyone,

19-5 GS9 @ 50%.

underwent my polygraph yesterday for the first time. Polygraph was with a very nice examiner, explained everything in detail and made me feel at ease. However, I was really nervous and was told I failed. Was stuck on one question I know for a fact I gave it my 110% honesty on. The pressure cuff gave me a little anxiety and half the time my arm was numb.

what next? Will I be disqualified and that’s it, or will I get a second polygraph.

Any guidance and information would gladly put me at ease.

[zTiger]

Was your polygraph for JFK?
I think its possible you might get to appeal it or they'll ask for a second one. I think it depends on once its reviewed they'll give you an answer.

[TsFost]

It'll be up to quality control in the end. Just keep your chin up and keep a look out for an email in the coming weeks either way.

[fonzi7979]

Congrats to receiving the polygraph exam. I am in 19-2 announcement for JFK and no polygraph exam scheduled for me.

My gut feeling you will receive the pass at worst case scenario they will ask you to take it again.

It is frustrating but what I have read on this forum from others is some examiners will tell you that you failed to see your reaction to put you on tilt. Keep your head up and leave it to the big man in the sky he always sets things straight for all of
us.

[NYCFinest3201]

Thank you all! Will most definitely keep an eye out for a email and my head up. Wish everyone success in the process!

[NYCFinest3201]

zTiger Yes it was for JFK, how long is the waiting game on this?

[xknuckles]

How did a 19-5 go ahead of everyone?!

[NYCFinest3201]

My friend is 19-8 and starts academy in the next few weeks.

[Dodge_Guy19-4]

Anyone having problems with login.gov tonight?

[fonzi7979]

Yes I am I cannot log in very strange maybe they are updating

[Dodge_Guy19-4]

Thanks for confirming!

[Dodge_Guy19-4]

fonzi7979 if you're still having issues, I changed my default browser from chrome to Firefox and can login.

[Keee562]

Has anybody met with there investigator multiple times explaining the same over and over again?

[Jr90037]

I only met him once 4 months ago haven’t seen him since I’m at 88% just finished my final medical the ones you fill out on your own

[Aussie_xo]

Keee562 No, usually the BI guys meeting with us are contractors. So someone is directing them.

[Keee562]

I understand that just seem odd to be very redundant at each meeting that’s all

[TsFost]

not in person but over the phone yes on 3 different calls. the investigator was just as frustrated since it was management asking not him, and him knowing he covered the questions in his report.
