I recently got the green check mark for passing background check. Does anyone know how long after clearing background it takes to be contacted / scheduled for the drug test? I think before coronavirus times it was about a month, but I figure the virus is going to make it take longer.

It took me a couple of weeks and then you have to wait again for the call. I cleared the drug test in the beginning of last month and I am now waiting for the EOD call
-
That's the crazy thing about this whole process everyone's experience is different. I think the best thing you get from it is learning how to be patient.

After poly does the examiner tell you whether you passed or failed? How long after passing poly did you hear from an investigator?

When I did my polygraph the examiner said something like "Everything looks good to me. Quality Control has the final say though" and within a week I received an email saying I passed poly. A month later I was called by an investigator.
-
Ok, the examiner told me the same thing. Hopefully I get official email. How soon do you remember it updating on the APP?

@ all applicants from announcement 19-2. I am wondering if anyone has been scheduled for the polygraph exam lately.

That’s a good question. I do not know all I know is that in 2018 with the government shutdown may have put many of us on the back burner then the pandemic. I guess like you said it’s going to be a long wait for some of us. I was hoping to see anyone in 19-2 being scheduled but I guess it is what it is.

V_AntCBP thanks for the feedback bro i will keep being patient and staying positive throughout this waiting period. Thanks for the encouraging words i feel positive that i will pass this time. Are u on FB messenger?? When do u start FLETC?? U have your EOD yet??

I’ve been waiting for the poly since 6/2019, we just got to be patient. There’s tons of applicants who applied after me who are completely done and I’m also VRA. It is what it is.
But I’ve also first applied back in Aug 2017 but failed medical first time around. I picked Detroit for poly location.

Best of wishes fonzi7979, I know you've been waiting quite some time.
-
@mauri bustillos, CBP has a 70%+ polygraph failure rate. Although CBP receives the most applicants for Fed LE, its just as hard to get into as USSS & the FBI because of the DHS CBP polygraph. The polygraph was implemented due to the Anti Border Corruption Act of 2010. 2 of every 3 fail it. Best wishes to you.

UPDATE ON EOD!!! MUST READ.
I am class 562 and my original EOD was 11/13/20
Today I got a call from Recruiting Division that EOD are getting pushed back to be aligned with your academy dates.
Apparently a lot of people have been in the POE for months getting paid to do nothing and when they get to FLETC, they quit!
HQ made the decision to pushed back ALL EOD dates past 10/19/2020.
I was given a new EOD of 4/5/2021 with FLETC 4/19/21 to 9/9/21
I pushed back and told them they need to get me something since I literally today put in my 30 day notice with my current job.
They got me into the 10/19/20 EOD and FLETC 3/29/21. I am not sure what my new class will be but I will update everyone once I get the email from Recruiting Division.
Be aware for those who EOD after 10/19/20. They are calling you to push back the EOD dates to align with your new FLETC dates so you are at your POE for 2 weeks then you report to Glynco, GA.Last edited by Manonfire6666; 10-01-2020, 09:36 PM.
