Hi Everyone! Haven't logged in for quite some time, but my case is in the hands of IA. Finally received a call back for an update. I'm one of the few chosen ones to have a polygraph examination. No date has been set yet, but I should be expecting a call soon to schedule one (according to IA rep). All I can do is hope for the best, I guess!BPA - SW

Originally posted by o2force View PostCBP stated that approximately 30% of individuals taking the CBP polygraph fail it. I think it's pretty unfair to polygraph some, but not others.
It's sad to put your future in the hands of a flaw procedure such as the "lie detector". I'd rather have MHC toss a coin to decide my faith. I think I'd be more fair.
BTW, During my meeting with my BI I was told I was taking a polygraph right after saying I was naturalized. That would make sense due to national security issues. But what about other people, why are they being polygraphed?"All that is necessary for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing." -Edmund Burke

I was fruatrated, mad, bothered, and everything you could imagine. I was given the opportunity to take another polygraph but this time it would be a specific one with emphasis in gangs and drugs. Passed it with flying colors.

Moot point I guess considering my current geo is considered "CA" lol. I checked my NOR and on there it lists geo as "CA" and that was about as early in the process as it gets.BPA(Geo Pref: CA)
