[MattCBP]

Congrats man ! Wish you luck in FLETC

[xknuckles]

anyone know how I can submit my provisional hire? I forgot to submit it a while back with my equip and emailed my recruiter and he never got back to me

[fonzi7979]

Scan and email it to your case manager that’s what I did but be sure to follow up with him/her.

[TsFost]

Re-apply for the same thing and click on the provisional hire accept button. Both apps will run concurrently the both just wont show up in CASS after they did that revamp

Good morning everyone 18-12 here
So I took the drug test and received a pass exactly a week ago. I am a GS9 hire (not the southern border) just waiting on the call... Does anyone know about how long it takes? And what are my chances of getting either Tampa FL or Buffalo? I'd also take Michigan...(I know all very different lol but our family is scattered and I speak French, Arabic and Spanish so I can be utilized anywhere) Any advice? Or knowledge? Such a long process and so close now, it's exciting and excruciating all at once! Haha! someone answered that it was a "while" after their DT. What is a while? 3 weeks? 3 months? It's so tough to plan things while being in limbo! TIA for any advice!

[Dodge_Guy19-4]

Took me 3 weeks from DT to calling with offer.

[V_AntCBP]

unless you are a VRA, you will never get Tampa, its such a small airport, there are not many CBPO positions there, I flight out of Tampa all the time, and hardly ever seen any CBPO, I think Buffalo or Michigan are easier to get, ask them, I personally would take Buffalo over Michigan, so my priority list would be 1- Buffalo, 2-Michigan, and congrats, you are at the end of a long dark tunnel lol I'm 18-8 and still waiting my tail off... Charbouli relax, you will have plenty of time for planning, even after receiving the call, you have several months before EOD, plenty of time for moving and stuff...

[ChrisQuirolo]

V_AntCBP Any negatives to Michigan??

[Walla183]

Haven't seen much regarding this topic. According to the CBP website:

The CBP “Pre-Employment Polygraph Examination Reciprocity” Directive allows applicants who meet specific criteria, to include passing a previous federal pre-employment polygraph examination, to apply for polygraph examination reciprocity.

Has anyone had luck with this? Friend passed a poly with DIA, another passed poly for an 1811 gig.

Is the drug test usually the last thing before Final Offer?

[V_AntCBP]

oh damn, congrats man, im 18-8. good to hear someone 18-8 done..im still waiting on my background.... Drug test should be coming soon for you. how long you had to wait for background to clear? aztecquean

[aztecquean]

V_AntCBP Actually just got the call minutes ago on the same day my medical cleared so I'm gonna **** tomorrow lol. But I applied June 2018 and my background cleared July 2019.

[210CBPO]

Congrats!! What port are you trying to get to? When did your app go to 75%. I'm on the same boat. At 75% waiting for drug test

[aztecquean]

210CBPO I got the final offer yesterday! I'm going to San Ysidro 5/7/2020.
FLETC 5/22/2020
My app went 75% the day they called me in to schedule the drug test.

[newyorkmets2018]

what's up guys and gals

i took the CBPO 19-1 exam but I have seem to hit a halt after my SI, ( I passed it check off and green on the app) I'm currently 50% done as per the app. The SI was back in April of this year and I was told that If don't hear anything in 6 months to email them. Anyone have a similar situation ? thanks

[fonzi7979]

I’m in the same boat 19-2 announcement. I emailed ICAD just as we were all told after completing the SI and I only receive auto response. I also reached out to contact center via email and just to look out for email or phone call about scheduling.

[Turboboigti]

It is more like a year wait for poly

[Hal29]

Anyone else having trouble getting on cass?

[V_AntCBP]

I have trouble too... Hal29 they keep updating all kind of things...but haven't seen any improvement. somebody has to justify their paychecks I guess lol

[TsFost]

Seems Cass is down right now

[sory_ann]

Yeah! Cass seems to be down. I tried logging as well

[V_AntCBP]

Cass is up... Everything stayed the same. Nothing cleared during the outage for me... Lol

[Hal29]

Yeah same here.

[sory_ann]

Lol yeah! Same here..Currently at 63%, Met BI at the beginning of September Have not heard a peep.

[V_AntCBP]

I emailed recruiters, they could see when my application was last touched by final adjudication team 210CBPO my guess is there is a history log for each application

[210CBPO]

Oh i see. My BI cleared and ive been at 75% for three weeks now. Waiting again and now for the DT. Too bad Laredo is full right now and im just stuck i guess.

[V_AntCBP]

Oh damn, congrats man, you are approaching the finish line, 210CBPO, how long you had to wait for background to clear? I would still demand Laredo, you never known, they may have opens....

[OKCsparrow]

I met my BI in June and am still at 63%.

[wmcbride]

Met with bi last week of September 2019, she said she had 30 days to submit. Just got a call from her now saying it was bumped back down to her from adjudication for some more clarification.

[Keee562]

That’s what I’ve been getting also

[TsFost]

I feel ya. That's happened twice for me. The BI said this last time it should all be good to go with management after calling them directly to go over his report. That was on 11/14 so i'm hoping that is a good sign it's been 3 weeks

[Keee562]

17 weeks I’ve been in Background Investigation and met the investigator 3 times

[fonzi7979]

It’s a good thing that nothing changed. Any 19-2 applicants for JFK receive a call or email about polygraph exam. I think they forgot us and went to 19-3 and 19-4 for now. Lol...

[corsair]

I'm 19-4 they're just slow as molasses

[standtheman]

fonzi7979 is not truth. original announcement 18-8, did lasik and applied another announcement 19-3 for different location and 2 19-11 for different locations and i am still waiting for poly here.

[fonzi7979]

standtheman I need to keep a sense of humor. I know it’s a long wait just trying to keep positive.

[showtime15]

Don’t quote me, but if the polygrapher is a temp hire for DHS/CBP they may not be able to work under the current continuing resolution. This may decrease the amount of Polygraphers walking around giving polys to you guys.

[fonzi7979]

standtheman just curious did you wear glasses when you went to medical exam and told you to get lasik in order to complete medical.

[Jr90037]

Question does anyone currently work lax cbp can you guys plz pm me

[jdop7]

Just got hit with a NOPA. Here we go.

[jdop7]

Same. What the NOPA is about was disclosed during the polygraph and I already passed the poly. So I think they just need some clarification

[jdop7]

NOPA stands for Notice of Proposed Action

[rmpee]

Nopa scares me.... Sheesh.. being in this process for 22 months then getting something like that would be mind blowing

[V_AntCBP]

Oh man, jdop7 wish you luck on getting that clear, sucks that they want more and more clarification, just a waste of time.... I hope after you submit a response it will clear fast for you... My investigator submitted my background early Sept too so... I'm anxiously waiting too
