I applied in December 2018 and I’m STILL waiting for a polygraph! Also, what's their work schedule look like?

[fonzi7979]

Join the hurry up and wait club. Well I applied in November of 2018 I know the feeling. Just stay positive and in time things will move along again.

Has anyone had a polygraph recently scheduled in the Chicago area? Currently, at 50℅ next step is the poly and was hoping they are doing them again.

[fonzi7979]

Keep us posted. I am hoping they start scheduling for the polygraph exam soon.

[picasso100]

Yes I received a phone call couple weeks ago to schedule the polygraph exam in Chicago.

Does anyone know the work schedule for officers at EWR?
Is it 5 days @ 8 hours a day or some sort of rotating schedule

[SAS-CBPO]

While you are training it’s 5x8. After post academy 5x2, 4x3 9hrs

[brandons]

SAS-CBPO
when you say after post academy 5x2, 4x3 9 Hrs
does that mean one week you work 5 on 2 off and then following week 4 on 3 off?
or is it one or the other?

[SAS-CBPO]

post academy is approx 26 weeks . you will work 5 on 2 off. monday-friday 8 hours,, once you finish probation you will work 5 on 2 off, then 4 on 3 off 9 hours shifts

[kc.lin55]

do you get pay for 9hrs a day after the post academy SAS-CBPO

Hello everyone, been following this post for a while now. Like, a good while haha.
Applied under Announcement 20-8 and this is my timeline as follows:

EQIP: Complete
PFT-1: 6/12/20
Med Exam: 3/25/20
S.I.: Aug, 2020 (Scheduled)
Poly: Waiver Since currently CBP employed.
Background: Complete

I know things are a bit slow right now so I reached out to the structured interview side and scheduled the interview in a location that wasn't close to me but I figured I'd rather keep the ball rolling. Hope everyone stays safe and look forward to keeping in contact with everyone and anyone whos on a similar timeline as I am.
I applied under the Direct Hire and General Announcement as well.

[m4rk567]

hi everyone!

Does anybody knows how long it is taking now to get your results of the medical exam?

[SpinyNorman83]

Due to the coronavirus I am assuming you are not going to hear for a while, and at times, it took medical two months to get back to me from last summer. Best of luck and hope you hear something soon!

[StevenMal]

Took me 9months to get cleared from my medical

[bmak18]

Is anyone in the process for Chicago and have heard anything? Currently at 50% waiting for the poly. I did hear there might be cutbacks towards the end of the year and they might not bring anyone else on for a while (but that’s just a faint rumor)

[Manonfire6666]

Spanish test. For those in the southeast and southwest border

does anyone know anything about it?

how difficult is it?

any study materials out there?

[TsFost]

I'm currently using Babble to learn while waiting on FLETC. After a solid month of it daily I'm getting better at reading Spanish short stories online, and when I'm watching shows like Border Wars i'm picking up on words and phrases.

[Manonfire6666]

Thanks! This is helpful!

[rergang3]

I can tell you that at FLETC, you'll be using Rosetta Stone. At least this is what was happening when I was at FLETC in November.

[Chris Martin]

Anyone else slotted for class-558

[Bay recruit]

558 here...SFO

[Chris Martin]

FLL. Have you got word on whether we are going on time.

[Bay recruit]

No. I got a call today from 952....they offered me another year of incentive, which I thought was strange but whatever I’ll take it!

[redfish112]

Just posting this here in case anyone is interested.

redfish112 I read this, so insane.

[nonotnow]

Has anyone had a poly reciprocity gone thru? CBP denied mine because they said the agency never responded. It was less than a week. Should I resubmit the form?

My poly reciprocity request was a whole big waste of time. I requested on November 2019 and it just got denied June 2020. So now I am waiting for them to schedule me for the poly. A co-worker of mine just had his poly yesterday and failed it. I am hoping to go take it soon.

[nonotnow]

Great, so basically the poly reciprocity doesnt work. What a joke considering their poly is so backed up. Thanks for that info. Yeah its a known fact they fail people left and right.

[Dan2302]

In other news. This is sad to see.

Common sense and self-control goes a long way. Nothing one says on the internet is truly private and it never goes away once posted.

[fonzi7979]

merlin436 you can say that again.

[Manonfire6666]

Don’t post anything. Keep it to yourself
