That's actually not what it means. The tentative selection letter is the age cutoff. They have had trainees at the academy with not military or federal service prior who are over the age of 40. They allow them to work a couple years past 60 to get their 20yrs for retirement. As long as you have a TSL, you are g2g providing you pass everything.

Hey whats going on everyone? Hope all is well. Question, so i'm looking over the package that I printed out when I first submitted my application. The biggest thing I was concerned about is that I don't know Spanish and that artificial language is horrible and i'm sitting here staring it looking at it saying to myself "I cant learn this because it doesn't make sense" lol any tips for the test? Only thing I see that could help me is my vet. preference and that's only what 5 points? lol. Any Advice would be great. Thanks everyone have a happy friday.Dad i'll follow in your footsteps

A few other guys who are waiting on phone calls for EOD dates who have turned 40 or over during the process have been advised by MHC they are g2g, and will be allowed to work their full 20.Comment

Maybe someone can chime in here and give me some advice. I was rejected last year for CBP Border Patrol for back issues in my medical, but I appealed and again was rejected. I then receive an email a week ago saying that my file was reviewed again and CBP wants me to come back in for another medical. I scheduled the medical but is there a way I can postpone it for a little longer? I was given a limited timeframe to complete it but I just received surgery (minimally invasive) for my back 3 months ago and think I should postpone it a little longer. My healing is going great and I am back being active just not over doing it for at least 6 months postop. Would I ultimately be dropped from further processing if I turn down the medical for another couple months?Last edited by Blue Steel; 07-02-2013, 02:15 AM.Comment

That's odd. They won't completely adjudicate your file until after the poly since a failure on that gets you cut from the process. They also will include anything extra or contradictory that comes up during the polygraph in a NOPA if your adjudicator feels the need.
I'd bug IA a little if I were you and see if they can get you scheduled for a polygraph. Sounds like your file is just sitting on on adjudicator's desk in the pile for applicants still needing a polygraph.
The good news for you is they are very actively calling people in TSU who have 2010 TSLs to EOD, so once you go all green, you probably won't wait round in TSU long. (though if you haven't already, they will send you for a new medical as it expires after two years)Last edited by Longrnge; 07-02-2013, 04:02 AM.Comment

I tried that number. Some ****ed off lady answered lol. I found the number through honorfirst. I called, and left a message this morning. Let's see if they call me back. Oh and I think my file is probably holding some secretary's desk up somewhere lol. Thanks for the help anyway.Comment

I read a few times on the CBP forum that calling IA on Friday might get you a call back that same day. It's not a given, but worth a try. I hope it all works out for you. I can certainly identify with having to wait multiple months before hearing from IA. Just live your life as if you've never heard of Border Patrol or try not to give it much thought otherwise it will consume you...good luck.Comment
