CBP officer

[Redwings1993]

Been in the process since Aug 2017 and still waiting on poly exam (had reapplied midway). This is also under VRA. Can’t understand the hiring process.....

[OKCsparrow]

Nov of 2017 is when I put my application in

[V_AntCBP]

oh god, almost 2.5 years and still waiting for poly? Redwings1993 Did you have medical issues, medical reviews? if you didn't, something is wrong man....

[corsair]

Thats insane if you didnt have any holdups/issues during the process

[fonzi7979]

Redwings1993 did you reach out to anyone to see the status of your application.

[thelonelybum]

Did anyone who was federal originally get the recruitment incentive to joining CBP? There's an incentive for certain locations for first time federal and I'm wondering if they meant first time CBP or any federal position.

[invertedPanda]

Does not apply to current federal employees

[Thatoneguyoh]

Northern border is for current and new officers, like pembina, portal, raymond.

So I EOD on Tuesday Feb 4th JFK Duty Station. Then head to FLETC on Feb 19th. I already spoke to my Supervisor/POC at my Duty Station.

I just registered for FLETC and I started filling out my Onboarding Paperwork, W2, Insurance packages, Beneficiary packages, New Hire registration, Direct Deposit, Grooming Arrangement Etc.

Still Provisional my stuff is in Adjudication though. Anyone Else from NYC going to EOD soon?

[fonzi7979]

Congrats I hope to be there one day too. What announcement are you in?

[PM015]

How did you register for FLETC? Did you get an email from them? If you did, when?

[Silva23]

My eod its Feb 25 and I haven’t heard from anybody. Should I be worry or is it too soon ? Thanks

[AmandaLynne4282]

I just registered for FLeTc and I got an email telling me to register.

i didn’t get an email link to start the onboard paperwork and I start Feb 7th..

[Just a Dude]

Good luck!!! Hope all goes well. I finally got my appointment for the polygraph test

[showtime15]

You’ll get the onboarding paperwork typically a week out. Probably tomorrow. Maybe Monday.

[AmandaLynne4282]

invertedPanda oh gosh. I do not want to live of Fletc at a hotel especially when you fly down and do not bring a car.

[invertedPanda]

They'll have shuttles but that just means you have to get up earlier.

[showtime15]

Hotel off center = no roommate. That’s probably the only positive to being off. May not be worth it if you aren’t bringing your vehicle.

[ChrisQuirolo]

Fly down. Then have family/friend drive your car down and visit. Then pay for their plane ticket back!!!

[Kevin1234]

PM015 They send u a link and a Temp code to get into Fletc.. Then you enter all the information.

[PM015]

How far before EOD?

[Reinier Perez]

Is anyone else’s CASS glitching, my Background went back to pending, for the 2nd time in a month

[jcsaenz3]

Supposedly when that happens it means they are looking at your file.

[V_AntCBP]

It happened to me and couple weeks later, background cleared. Idk if coincidence or what...

[Reinier Perez]

Fingers crossed then

[brandonnang]

Looking for a swap from JFK to Miami. Also willing to participate in a 3 way swap if necessary. Moving expenses will be covered. If you know anyone interested PM me or send them my way. Thanks.

[sory_ann]

Cass update this morning, BI cleared and at 75%...what a relief!! Total of 4 months after meeting with the Investigator. Originally 18-10, reapplied to 20-2 announcement.

[sory_ann]

fonzi7979 I reapplied to change locations, I originally selected San Francisco. Now I will be going to Newark NJ. And yeah, I still cannot believe it lol!!

[sory_ann]

V_AntCBP Lol will see what dates are they offering! My BI truly took about the same time as yours. I met the BI the beginning of Sep and we are almost in February.

[sory_ann]

thelonelybum I met the BI during July, but nothing was submitted until the beginning of September. He went above and beyond interviewing my references and sometimes people are not available right away, and that was one of the reasons why it took him a while to complete everything. I remembered reaching out to him to see if everything was okay and/or if he needed anything else and he said that his job with me was done on the first week of September. I have been getting letters from the credit bureaus ever since so I assumed that they were working on it. You are behind me, keep praying and have faith. It works!!!

[OKCsparrow]

I had everything submitted in July after meeting my investigator in June and I'm still waiting. :/

[SPX]

I'm 19-2 Regular Annoucement... applied on November 2018. EQIP sent to OPR March 2019, Medical cleared in less than a week on March 2019 with no hiccups. I took my SI on February 2019 and it's almost my 1 year mark waiting for a polygraph.

I read up in the past that usually by the 1 year mark they'll schedule you a polygraph at the latest. Is my time for my polygraph coming soon? Reading in a previous recent post that someone is still waiting for a polygraph from 2017 doesn't encourage me at this point.

Good luck to everyone.

[fonzi7979]

corsair once you get called and scheduled I hope I am right behind you. Where did you select to have your Polygraph Exam?

[Just a Dude]

SPX I applied in April 2019 announcement 19-7... I got an email to schedule my polygraph test 2 days ago... I guess I’m one of the lucky ones who got scheduled under a year. It really does vary for everyone. Good luck to everyone!

[corsair]

I picked Newark for my polygraph

[fonzi7979]

Hopefully when they are done with Newark they will get to NY after. Keep me posted.

[UchihaMadara]

Good afternoon all, my announcement was 19-5. I'm still waiting on the Poly. Anyone from 19-5 still here or anyone else in the same boat?

[fonzi7979]

I’m in the same boat waiting patiently. Yes it’s frustrating I guess it is what it is.

[UchihaMadara]

fonzi7979 what was your announment# also, I feel you I was reading some of the post and I see most of the people wait for 1 and others 2 years . Hopefully we hear something before the summer time.

[Florida_Man]

19-3, still waiting on the poly. Even sent an email to IACAD basically saying I’d go anywhere to take it and I get nothing but an automated response. Super frustrating..

[fonzi7979]

@Floridaman I know your frustration. I kept on getting automated responses as well.

[corsair]

This was the last message I got when I asked about the poly....

After reviewing your application, I can see that you have passed the Fitness Assessment, the Medical Assessment, and the Structured Interview. You are waiting for the Polygraph exam and Drug test to be scheduled.

And the rest was the generic response

[Florida_Man]

corsair lol that’s pretty funny..

[UchihaMadara]

Thats crazy, at this point I don't mind getting Newark,NJ. I applied for JFK as well, I wonder if they are waiting on LA guardia to be reopen. If not then we gonna have to wait.

[corsair]

I reapplied for Baltimore with the announcement in May 2019 but with me picking Newark for my poly I’m screwed regardless for waiting.

[Dman1823]

Hello all just curious are there any members in the army national guard that are currently in or heading to Fletc? If so could you please share what your plans are for drills. I dont know if I should just start randomly calling units in the area down there to see if they will let me drill or if fletc staff maybe has a partnership with local units. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

[showtime15]

I’m AF Res, but I made most of mine up before I went to the academy, then rescheduled the rest for after. Does the Army allow that?

[Klumper23]

I worked out a deal with my unit to make them up prior to going but wouldn't get paid for them until the drill happened.
