Border Patrol Agent

Just had my B.I. interview. It was rather fast, about 30 minutes. The B.I. kept saying "you're making this awfully easy on me, I like that". I don't know if its a good sign since most people claim their interviews lasted 3-4 hrs.

Mine lasted 2 hours and we went over my SF-86 twice.

The best thing for you to do is to lurk around the pages on this thread and compare your time line with others'. You'll get an idea right away. I could see you received your NOR earlier than me and I have more steps completed than you. Then again, there are infinite factors for things like these to happen. Trust me, the people and MHC have very weird way to handle business lol! Patience is the key element for this. You'll learn to "hurry up and wait" as they call it. Good luck!

My timeline is in my signature. My timeline moves at an average pace at best. In my opinion it seems like yours slowed to a crawl. It will take months to meet your BI and months after that for your Background Investigation to clear Internal Affairs and about a month to receive the call and EOD.

[madchiken]

EOD means Entry On Duty. It's your first day of work. You'll report to the station you accept employment to for 3-5 days. They then ship you off to the academy after that.

You report to sector, you may or may not see your station. You are there for two days then travel to El Paso for two days before heading to Artesia.

Excuse my ignorance, but why to El Paso?

[LastSamurai]

I updated my timeline the best I could for everyone to check out and compare if need be. Good luck all.

Will my phone ring today? I hope. ha ha ha

This process for everyone is so screwy i met with my BI on 5-31-11 and I havent heard anything else BI staus still says in the sercurity office and I havent gotten a TSU or anything.

Yeah it really is. Im sure behind the scenes there is a method to the madness and it only seems screwy to us. As soon as my BI interview was done I had to pay for an independant psych eval, provide some additional medical...and it went really fast to TSU after that.

Edit: Best thing Ive done throughout the whole process is move on with my life. It will happen when it happens. Im having a hard time anticipating this phone call. I feel like a little kid waiting on a call to go to Disneyland.

[dcsnoboard22]

As far as I know, the CBP Hiring Center put my status "called to active duty" Since I have been home, I informed them that I am off active duty for now and would like to continue the process. They emailed me back that same day stating my file has been updated. My file is still 'in the security office" I wonder if they are checking for security clearance via my military clearance? Either way, I hope to hear something soon.

Was your being active duty holding things up at all? I'm still active duty myself and I've been wondering if that might explain why the process seems delayed for me. When I was setting up my medical exam a few months ago the scheduling office noticed I was still active duty and tried to tell me to wait until I was completely discharged to go any further in the process. I said no way to that. Why would I want to wait until I was out of a job to start a year long hiring process? Hope things go well for you.

[rprieto520]

Just found this a few days ago. Just got done with my BI last Friday the July 22. Does anyone have any intel on what next for me?
Hopefully getting in to the Tucson sector. I am super excited on hearing good news.

[rynotex]

Got the call today. Yuma, AZ. All I can say is, for those of you thinking about giving up on the process, DON'T. Your day will come when you least expect it.

[Raymart]

Congrats rynotex! Good luck at the academy. I wouldn't mind that station as I am originally from Calexico, Ca.... about an hour or so west of Yuma...

[LastSamurai]

Congrats! Hopefully they wil keep moving west a bit before they call me ha ha ha!
