CBP officer

[STARCBPO]

Hello!

Does anyone know, once you pass your CBP Polygraph, how long (how many years) is it good for before you have to re-do it because it expired because your hiring process took longer?

[STARCBPO]

I accepted the final offer 3 weeks ago and my CASS was 100% and today when I logged in it says 88% and Polygraph part has 3 dots and says PENDING. It says you will be contacted by OPR to schedule one. I took poly last year in June. Is it a glitch in the app or am I re-doing it again? LOL

[N.N.]

STARCBPO apparently CASS has been glitching for multiple people today, nothing to worry about.

[STARCBPO]

I hope not! Thank you.

Hey everyone so I took my Polygraph this week and I was told I failed unless I admit to something, At the end I was told he was going to recommend That I get retested but the final say was not up to him. Has anyone been told that they failed and then end up finding out they didn't ? I don't even know what I Failed. Really stressed out about this.

[cs333]

Dont worry too much man. To me that seems like a tactic to get you to admit to something.

[Reyes3058]

Got the call yesterday will be eod nov 26, fletc dec10 , GS9 Los Angeles ca. Finally started my application nov 2017.

[cs333]

Congrats!!

[Bolichi702]

Congrats I start the same time as you and also selected LAX as my POE!

[N.N.]

Hey the posts are back! Or at least most of them. Ha!

Thanks to forum team! This is definitely my favorite discussion site for the process (and other LEO info)!

Hello all! What is the typical wait time for the polygraph? I’m in Miami, and have noticed other 18-4’s have been contacted for their polygraph. I passed my SI on 5/23, and everything else up to this point is complete. I know, patience is key. Just curious about any insight you all have.

[rickiebarry]

It took me almost 4 months from when I took my SI.

[Nycguy718]

I got the famous call today! EOD 11/16, FLETC 12/3. JFK. 18-3. I started the app process Oct 2017.

[Dr.Andromeda]

Congratulations brother. I'm 18-7 DH, applied 4/1/18. I hope to get my "call" before the school year ends next May (where I work). Although I'd prefer coastal Georgia in Autumn or winter...

[rickiebarry]

Congratulations, do you recall if they offered you a spot in Boston MA?

[Nycguy718]

rickiebarry no Boston. I didn’t ask nor was it mentioned.

[category631]

Congrats! 17-11 applied for JFK as well, although the longer the wait the more open to anything east coast, approaching 3 weeks on results for poly - hanging on my verbal pass

[Dr.Andromeda]

Good morning all! I'm curious, is there anyone from the El Paso, TX area on here who applied under 18-7? Would be nice to know someone reasonably close to me is also on the forum

If not in the geographical area, still anyone under 18-7? Timeline below as always. Congrats to all who have received "The Call" so far!

[Tremellio]

Yes! I'm from El Paso. Been in Houston for 20 months but hopefully on my way back to EP lol I'm 18-11 though.

[TheMaligator]

I’m 18-7 as well under GS9 VRA. I took my SI on July 10th and got my NOR on July 11th. Now I’m just waiting to get my poly scheduled.

[Dr.Andromeda]

Tremellio hey man that's awesome! I would prefer to stay in EP if they offer it to me when I EOD, but honestly I wouldn't mind moving just to get that recruitment bonus lol.

TheMaligator hey man we might be at FLETC together. Right now I'm in the same boat, my SI was July 11 and got my NOR the 12th.

Regardless, guys, we should keep in touch because networking is key. Hope to run into both of you someday!

[Hal29]

I'm so over Cass. MY % goes up and down every other day.

[N.N.]

I’ve come to accept CASS is more of a tool to help applicants feel like they know what’s going on, rather than an actual application tracker/communication tool.

[Nycguy718]

Patience my friend. If you monitor that thing everyday, you’ll go crazy.

[raptor170]

Does anyone who what the work hours are like for a CBP officer? Do they work panama 12's or 5-8's, 4-10s? Set Schedules?

[merlin436]

Shift scheduling would be entirely post specific.

[merlin436]

That should read "PORT" specific.

[N.N.]

Well it looks like CBP is finally addressing the problem of the excessive medical review delays. There’s a job announcement for Med review team nurses open on USA jobs now. Hopefully they can get some hired quickly and get the process moving a bit faster.

[cs333]

Anyone else unable to comment on posts? Ever since the update the site wont let me comment

[raptor170]

No issues here.

[NYBseBall89]

cs333 I have the exact same problem. I thought my account was suspended/banned for some reason. I even tried to email the site admins/site help and the link errors out for me. I have used Chrome, IE, Edge, and have used my Galaxy as well and nothing works. This just started happening about 3-4 days ago.

[Eagle91]

Does anybody recall or remember how long it took for your investigator to contact you after recertifyng your eQIP, as well as how long it took to get scheduled for your drug test? Thanks in advance.

[Nycguy718]

Drug testing is after your pass the Poly. So you have a long way to go. Once they recert the eQip, it varies. You gotta pass the poly

[Hal29]

I passed my poly a month and a half ago. Recertified my eqip 2 weeks ago. I have not heard anything. My Cass % goes up to 63% to 50% every other day. They top me they started my bi a while ago but no drug test or investigator yet.

[Eagle91]

Hal29 I recertified my eQIP on Friday 7/27 and it was sent to OPR Monday 7/30. My Cass showed 50% with my eQIP "in Progress" and background "in Progress", Checked my Cass yesterday and it went to 63% with eQIP "completed" Hoping my investigator gets in contact with me soon.

[Joshwhity]

If you have to recert your e-qi, do they compare it to the original one?
