[DocHolidayFan]

Same. Does anyone know anything?

[Mike_lowrey]

Would a current CBPO have to take the entrance exam for a position with ICE as a SA HSI?

[chipperjones]

of course. God himself has to take the HSI test to be considered for the position, your poly and background might be waived though

Would a current CBPO have to take the entrance exam for a position with ICE as a SA HSI?

Most definitely have to take the entry. No exceptions, even for current ICE.

My BI was 100% waived when I came in (didn't even sign a single BI form), but this was years ago. I had a fresh upgrade to TS at the time from my prior agency so not sure how that translates to say current BP agents, though I recall the 13 or so PAs in my academy class saying they didn't do anything for BI either.

I still haven't heard a firm answer on once the poly program is fully implemented if prior federal polys will be accepted the same way CBP takes other fed polys. Last I had heard was currently ICE employees are the only ones 100% exempt from poly, even if they've never taken one. Hopefully they will accept prior CBP polys.

I'll let you know if I passed this test. Seems like they're calling people now cuz they have the TO results but havent released them yet.

[battlewagon]

Yeah let me know. people are definitely progressing. A friend of mine texted me to tell him a field office called him, and I just received a call from that area's ASAC as a reference check for him. Another friend of mine from a prior agency just did the phone interview.

[RVAhiker]

Well we have some movement! Not sure how I pulled it off, they must not have gotten my math results. Just got a phone call gauging my interest in a specific office. I know it was previously discussed, but be prepared to get contacted about an office not in your preference. I picked Washington, DC FO and the call was about a RAC for a different FO.

[Rickyrecon012]

West VA huh

[Dex17]

I got called by WV as well, on the same day as you. Heard anything since?

[Tommy_V]

When can we count ourselves out if we haven’t heard anything?

[Rickyrecon012]

Well it really depends on you, but just know people are already getting scheduled for their medical

[battlewagon]

When can we count ourselves out if we haven’t heard anything?

Bro come on man how many times have I told you personally in PMs and people here that this daily worry wart isn't going to change anything, make it happen faster, or end your misery any sooner. As you've seen there's clearly no set, defined timeline for every candidate. You can bet that there will people who will hear things for the first time, like the very first email or call from this hiring announcement will be 13 months from now.

There will people from certain SACs that are hired before people from other ones hear a single peep.

Are you this pessimistic with everything in life?

[PA_Ed]

Thank you bro

Battlewagon is a God among men

[Andrew Alex]

Has anyone heard anything from DC? Looks like people are slowly getting called.

[Burt Macklin]

Yes. I’m a preferred hire. Did my medical this past Friday.

[Lovetocamp]

Looks like TOs are going out either tomorrow or next week according to the delphi forum but who knows. Based on last years DH it seems possible. Time lines match up its been about 5 weeks since the last proctored test date.

[DrewC2016]

A buddy of mine got a TO today. Weird being on a weekend. He was not preferred and never did an interview.

[Tommy_V]

From what office and what’s his background?

[AgentNitro]

He probably received it Friday and didn't notice it until today. Some of that stuff can be auto entered to be sent out as well. Tommy_V, Donnie T said that you were removed from consideration for being overly anxious.

[DrewC2016]

No it was sent yesterday. He didn't just first notice it then. Regardless I hesitated to even post that info out of fear of triggering more panic attacks for some of you. Also his background has been with CBP, BP and one more 1811 position. He's also a capricorn...

[marathon]

Did he get a call or an email?

[Theout]

From 2020 Budget request published .

POSITIONING OUR WORKFORCE TO MEET THE MISSION
“The FY 2020 Budget includes $313.9 million to hire additional personnel critical to mission success. This funding would allow ICE to hire 850 ERO Officers, 150 HSI Criminal Investigators, 128 attorneys, and 538 support staff including intelligence analysts, case management specialists, and other operational support personnel. For ICE to be able to address the crisis, these positions are urgently needed.”

[Lovetocamp]

My buddy got his TO today saying he passed the test. Nothing on my end.

[Sheridan1]

The proctored test? So no interview before the TO?

[Lovetocamp]

Sheridan1 thats correct. Might be different because we are both Border Patrol Agents so Idk. And it seems like each SAC sends them out at different times.

I wouldnt be surprised to see more next week now.

[Gooby77]

Just a heads up, make sure to hit the "refresh" button for your voicemail apps on your phones.
Had a missed call on 7/16, then a few more on 7/17 with the 202 area code. No voicemails were left so I didn't think much of it. Flash forward to today and had an insurance guy call me and leave a vm. Sure enough another vm popped up left over from 7/16, i just looked at it like wtf since I was checking the app since then to see if I had any to listen to.
The vm was from the SAIC from my local field office to chat about my resume. Called back (completely butchered his name), he couldn't remember the calls to me at all, understandable since it was roughly 3 weeks since his initial call. Apparently it was to put names on a list to forward on, but seems I missed it. There were also are no openings for his office either.
Back to a waiting game for me I guess, sucks prob missed my shot.

Edit- after checking my call logs, looks like I called him back the morning of the 17th (unknowing of the original vm), got a call back with no vm shortly after, then tried calling back and left a vm but nothing after that.

[Tommy_V]

Failure notices are going out according to the other forum. So far it seems you were only notified of passing the exam if you are also given a TO. Does anyone else know anything? Would be nice to at least know if we passed the exam...

[battlewagon]

I have people who have received nothing at all, no test results, no TO, etc. There is no rhyme or reason, there is no Illuminati algorithm to figure out.

If I hear something that there is a firm cut off like 'anyone who hasn't gotten a TO is out' I'll message you in our thread.
