I'd say possible...but unlikely.Comment

Hello, i got an email saying to fix my eqip and submit the residency and provisional clearance forms because i inputed some wrong information. I fixed the eqip but forgot to attach the two forms and submitted the eqip already and was wondering what will happen next. I emailed my BI and told them but have not received a response.Comment

I'm pretty sure you have done what you can, but if you don't get a response from the BI-hiringbox e-mail within a day or two, then I would suggest sending an e-mail to the eQIP email/contact on this page: https://www.cbp.gov/careers/hc-contact-table .
( [email protected] ) Make sure you always include your name and applicant ID on all emails submitted.
Most likely they will just send you another email to edit/fix your eQIP and attach the forms at the end of it. They may just have you send the forms in an email to them. I think as long as you make the effort and let them know what happened, then they will help you to get it right. With my experience with the hiring process so far - I don't think they want to force anyone out for something simple - just make the effort if you made a mistake.

Hi all! When I log in to see my progress, for the fitness exam 2 it says “N/A- not applicable”. I thought the second fitness test is where the 1.5 mike run takes place, correct?Actually, I'm a woman. https://forum.officer.com/core/smili...lies/smile.pngComment

It says announcements 17-3 and after dont require it. Which is good. One less step. But should still stay in shape. -
Thank you for the replies guys. Now that you mention it, I do remember seeing somewhere that the shuffle and box lift weren’t necessary for exams after a certain number but I didn’t know it applied to the mile run as well. I will definitely still stay in shape. Thanks!

To piggyback on Diesels question, for those who applied for the VRA posting (not direct hire), when they say its "location negotiable" but then give you the list of 10-15 or so locations that will have openings, are those realistically the places you will go or could you technically negotiate with a location that isn't specifically on there?Comment

Champlain is the largest of the North Country ports, followed by A-Bay. Buffalo, of course, is the largest in the Field Office. If lots of overtime is your thing, pick carefully. Not all the aforementioned have huge OT budgets. I'd probably limit the choices to Buffalo, Champlain and A-Bay, if chasing plenty of overtime is a goal. -
Gotcha. I appreciate the info. In your opinion, although Alex Bay is the only NY port that shows up on the job vacancy, could negotiating Buffalo specifically yield some positive results or is that a mere pipe dream? Lol that or Alex Bay would be ideal, Buffalo being preferable. -
Syracuse has a small port. Rochester, an even smaller one.
You can ask for an non-advertised location. The worst they'll say is "no". That recent Trout River VRA hire, that was a surprise to everyone in TR...and TR hasn't been on any priority hiring list for years. So, I'd say it's at least possible to cherry-pick some ports off the VRA announcement.

Im going to take the test in a few weeks. I looked at the samples they gave briefly. However...is it actually accurate? Ive taken many civil service tests and the questions werent similar to the samples provided (in terms of types of questions)

Does anyone know what would happen if I we're to also apply for a Border Patrol Agent position? I'm about halfway through hiring process for CBPO. Have SI in a couple weeks. Do they have a separate exam or is all the hiring criteria the same? Any help appreciated.Comment

Why did you wait to disclose this up until the polygraph exam?Comment

So I recently received an email from the NGA to be a police officer at the St. Louis location. I'm still in the process of CBPO, in my mind it is in my best option to wait on CBPO, am I right?Comment
-
So if I wanted to change my original selected duty location, should I just contact my background investigator or do I have to submit another application? Has anyone done this already?Comment

Hey I have couple questions hope someone can help me. Recently applied for CBPO position and I would like to know
1.who do I contact to submit religious accomadations for a male with long hair? Will they be able to be accomadate me because of their grooming standards ?
2. Have y'all seen or known any cbp officer with long hair or turbans?
3. Qualified as gs7 what pay step would i go in as fletc ?
thanksComment

I know of Sikhs that are allowed to wear their beards and turban. Shouldn't be an issue but it is the government so feet will be dragged getting it approved. I have no idea who to contact, I might email the MHC and ask. As a GS7 step 1 CBPO, depending on the locality pay wherever your port is, is about $40k and some change.

Quick question for those of you who have been through the entire process. I took the poly on 9/20 and this morning I got an email from HR saying congratulations because OPR notified them that I fulfilled the polygraph requirement and I am now ready to move on to the field investigation phase. The email also states that I must recertify my eQuip and resend all the signature forms again once I go through and add any information. Is this the normal next step before meeting with the investigator and does this mean that I passed the polygraph? Thanks for any infoBOP 10/04/2015Comment

Yea I'm trying not to get too excited just yet. I just got my public trust clearance from BOP, after 2 years in, so it shouldn't be too bad. -
Thanks man. fathitman , did you receive an actual email or notice stating you passed the poly? I just checked the CBP phone app and on there it has my polygraph separated from the general background investigation part showing it as "passed".Last edited by Capt_Falco; 10-05-2017, 03:31 PM.

Hello I have an urgent question, I applied back in august for job announcement CBPO 17-10, during the past month I've had to deal with personal matters and I missed the deadline for the e-QIP, at this point would I have to reapply? If so would my test scores carry over? If I do have to reapply would the process be as fast as smooth as this one?
Hope to get some help soon because the current announcement closes tomorrow and wouldn't want to wait for the next announcement, Thanks!Comment

Took the PFT-1 today and I had some nonphysical problems with it. The lady that administered it decided to stop the audio and use her own stopwatch for the sit-ups and push-ups, which wasn't very convenient since the audio tells you how much time you have left. She also didn't allow breaks in between (not even 30 seconds).
I passed those sections but for the step test she skipped right to the part where the test begins, without listening to the instructions. I missed one beat but completed the entire five minutes. To my understanding that should've been a pass, but she said she had to make note of the fact that I missed a beat and that "the agency will decide".
I'm pretty sure the agency will take that as a fail, since notes are only included when a person doesn't complete the test. I'm pretty angry because if she'd listened to the instructions she would've known I can miss a beat and still pass. I don't mind redoing the test, but I'd like to know if there's anywhere I can report this so it doesn't happen again. Having to redo the test means I'm gonna be weeks behind in the process due to a careless mistake of the staff. The lady just seemed so inattentive and clueless.Comment

Agreed, she didn't want to do her job at all. I was in and out in less than ten minutes. I was actually still at the facility since my friend still had to do his test. I called the department and was told they'll talk to the facility (the person I talked to sounded astounded at what I told him). They'll supposedly review the files. I still think it's likely I'll retest, but at least there's that. -
that sucks. the one i had was very accommodating. they let me warm up/stretch first. provided me some water, and made sure i felt comfortable on my PFT.
She gave me an option on both Push up and Sit ups if i want to complete the 1 minute or stop at the minimum requirements. -
The one i did was conducted by a physical therapist. she was very nice and explained everything out. For the cedence, she used a machine to keep the cadence -
Don't quote me here, but when I did my PFT1 - the administrator was under the impression you could miss about 6 cadence steps and adjust yourself back on track before you fail that part.
So, if she marked that you went off cadence once, then I think you'll be fine (but all I know is hearsay). I do know that if they mark that attempt as a fail, then you will get one more attempt after approximately 6 weeks.
Let us know and good luck.Last edited by county25; 09-30-2017, 06:33 AM.
