Has anyone applying for BPA received a NOPA? (Notice Of Proposed Action). I received one for marijuana usage that was over 6 years ago, while I was in high school. I currently work for a county jail and have a bachelors degree, no other arrests, or detains. I was wondering if anyone has had the same experience, and what was the outcome of that? Thanks in advance.

18-8 GS-7 applicant, received a vacancy notification and "have been tentatively selected to begin the pre-employment process for the position of Border Patrol Agent". I am graduating with my BA in December, and am just wondering if there any sort of timeline I should be expecting? I only ask as I am on various amounts of exam lists here in NY.

I just applied to a BPA announcement. Ive been through the whole hiring process for the USSS UD and waiting on a call from them, but I am really interested in the Border Patrol. Does anyone know if the process will move quicker because I have already had a polygraph and a background investigation done by the Secret Service?

Typically how long is the process for Border Patrol?
-
Mine took 10 months from application to academy. It is different for everyone

I believe the current estimates from the agency are 5/6 months up to 11. Though the lower end is unlikely, many of my friends who went through managed to get to the end of the process right under a year. If you BI goes quickly and you don't have any 'medical issues' or followups needed, you will be at job offer pretty quick.

Quick question, I am getting reading to apply to one of the VRA announcements for BPA and I was wondering if I would qualify for the GS-9 grade.
I am currently a GS-6 step 2 with CBP in an 1802 series, I will be finishing up my BA in Criminal Justice with SAA, and I am a 5 point Vet. However I was only a reservist (Army Corrections and Detention) with a year deployment to Guantanamo Bay. Im basing my year of specialized experience on what i did in Cuba (Detainee Ops). I would be fine taking the GS-7 obviously but I'm wondering if i should just apply for the 9 and if I don't qualify then apply for the 7? Or just apply for both announcements? Thanks

Does anyone know if there are plans to expand the polygraph waiver for Veterans? From what I hear, there was a bill for it, but wound up getting stalled in the House. Any developments?

Is credit score a large determining factor? Also does state certified officers get any preference or does it even matter?

You get no preference other than being eligible for a higher starting pay, GL7 or GL9UNITED STATES BORDER PATROL

It may have. According to the latest job announcement, test scores prior to August 5, 2018, are no longer valid. Also states "A new entrance examination will be in effect with this announcement. All applicants applying to this announcement must take the new entrance examination, regardless of whether you passed or failed in the last six months."Last edited by JJ221; 08-08-2018, 11:34 PM.

So I applied for BPA under VRA GL9 18-12, I got an email this morning from USAStaffingOffice saying I was referred and tentatively selected for Border Patrol Agent GL-1896-9. So I go and fill out the onboarding stuff, go back to check my USAJobs and it says I was Not Referred.
I look at my CBPO VRA GS9 18-12 and despite getting an almost identical email, applying the same day with the same resume, it say I was selected. What the heck.
