    R89 I have a VA rating and I have been dealing with medical since september of last year. This whole process is extremely frustrating. I am waiting for my background to be adjudicated and my medical to be greenlit so that I can be hired and beg to be put at Long Beach Seaport

      camtheman77 I sent you a PM with more of an explanation, because i didn’t want to put all my stuff out here either.
      Dang, that’s a long time to be dealing with medical, I can’t believe it takes that long. Guess it’s even longer since we have a rating from the VA. Have you done any other parts of the hiring process? I’m under the understanding that medical has to be cleared to do poly.

    Hi folks. I recently withdrew my 19.2 app at the BI phase as I accepted a local leo offer. Moving forward, if I ever wanted to reapply, I know the SI is good for 3 years but med and PFT is 1 year correct? Regarding med, is it 1 year from when you had your exam or from when med actually cleared med review? Thanks!

      I only had to do the pft. I believe poly and medical is good for 2 years.

      Out of curiosity why didn't you keep the application active with the anticipation of reapplying? The process assuming you haven't even hit poly would take another year if i had to guess.

      Two reasons went into the decision. The first was that the port selected on my application was no longer realistic due to the cost of living. It wouldn't be possible to relocate there any longer.

      The second reason, and the primary reason, was that I ran the risk of having a BI reach out to my CO's before I even graduated the academy. That would not be a good look and in the event I did not get an offer from CBP, I know there would be many unhappy with that.

      The port I want is still on the August posting so I'm contemplating just resubmitting another app for that and allowing my previous milestones to transfer.

    Hey guys does anyone have an email for the polygraph unit? If anyone does that would be greatly appreciated. See I took and passed my poly back in May of 2018. I reapplied in May of this year. Everything transferred over but poly. I'm just trying to see what the hold up is seeing I already passed it. Thanks.

      MrAce Im 17-10 with an academy date of this sept. It was a long process and there is no cookie cutting hiring track. It is a large fed agency and there are tons of moving parts. Just be patient and I would contact your area recruiter and he can look you up to see what’s going on ( that’s what I did) He will likely tell you it’s just a waiting game but he could see if there is an issue.

        @ 19-2 announcement for JFK port. Just wondering if anyone received a call or email about polygraph exam. I am in 16 plus weeks from SI. Any feedback or thoughts.

          Had my SI in June . From what it looks like is that theres a lot of people waiting for their poly right now and they are backed up from the shutdown. My friend had her SI in February and still no call! Everything else prior to the poly is complete. **** sucks.

          Each poly session is like 5 hours long, very few examiners and hundreds if not thousands of applicants in NY/NJ area. I would not be surprised if one examiner does 6-8 polygraphs a week.

          NYC area is loaded with applicants as I was told by a CBPO at my interview. Expect to wait 6 months I except to have a poly date myself by December or January. Hope to see you all on board.

          MattCBP it isn't green, it's been pending the whole process - the email I received said to just keep the waiver on hand in case I was contacted.

          My Poly is getting waived too since I got a passing one last year from BPA. Since we don't have to do the Poly does our application jump straight to the background check with an investigator? Haven't heard anything since I passed my SI back in 5/23/19

        Didn't pass my polygraph. I'm a Vet with a security clearance. To say I'm disappointed would be accurate. I thought this was gonna be the job for me.

        Says I can reapply in 2 years. Is that 2 years from when I first applied or from when I took the poly?

        Is the drug test separate from the medical? I had to pee in a cup during my medical when I took it a month or so ago. Or is the drug test portion a separate process altogether?

            Well, I made my decision... I went with SEA-TAC (Seattle). The fun of the waiting game doesn't stop once you get the call!! :P

            TSU told me I had 24 hours to report my decision (16:00 Thursday) and gave me a number to call. I called that number at 10:12 EST to ensure they were at work if they are on CST. As that line is never answered by a person (or so it has been in my experience), I left a message saying I'm ready to make a decision and left my number/SSN as requested...... Heard nothing.

            Set my alarm and went to sleep (I work nights).... woke up at 15:45 with no phone calls. So I called the number again and this time left my port selection in the phone call and then emailed them also.... Still haven't heard anything.

            Maybe I'll get a call later today (Friday August 2nd) at my peak sleeping hour 16:00 EST? lol

            pnw360 sorry to hear that, you can apply 2 years since the date you took poly. Did they tell you right after the poly you didn't pass? Or you got an email saying that? And if so, how long after taking poly you got the email? Thank you
            I just took my 2 days ago and I'm so anxious to get result now.
