Border Patrol Agent

[RGVmore]

TylerH5811 Then I will keep a watch on it and I’ll send it certified thank you.

[Ebbo1227]

RGVmore TylerH5811 are you guys in the process for BPA? And Where are you on the applicant process?

[TylerH5811]

Yes, applied July. Had to do some extra medical BS so I’m still waiting for that to clear. Then drug test and background. Took my poly September 30th.

[RGVmore]

Ebbo1227 Yes I am in the BPA hiring process am just waiting for the BI and Drug test. I passed the polygraph back in July.

[Ebbo1227]

RGVmore TylerH5811 I’m in my Background phase too, then drug test

[DJ9]

Don’t feel discouraged. I waited an additional month and a half for medical, so I feel your situation. Keep your head up and stay fit and focused. Your time will come soon enough.

[Crtz530]

I got my Eod date and my station and just met with my BI Yesterday, so just waiting now lol

[DJ9]

You must have a provisional clearance then. Consider yourself lucky. It’s both a blessing and a curse I heard. Should they find something in your background that deems you unsuitable, they will pull you from the academy. Which station did you go with and why?

[Ebbo1227]

I have a Provisional clear too, I met with my investigator I believe on the 29th of October I think, and I have heard anything since. I think with the Provisional clear I should have heard something by now but I haven’t so I’m confuse on how the background works with the Provisional clear

[RGVmore]

Good morning, so I did not receive the fingerprint packet and my due date is by 11/25/2019 I've tried to contact my case manager by email and voice mail and there is no answer from her, the local PD fingerprinting here are closed for the weekends. is there anything else that I could do ?

[TylerH5811]

All I can say is try again on Monday and get your cards done and sent ASAP.

[TylerH5811]

Hey guys I created a GroupMe for applicants. I’ll post the link if y’all want to join. I thought it would be beneficial for us as applicants to get faster response times on questions or issues, share information, get help in the process and to build community since we may end up serving together. Anyway thought it would be a good idea.

[RGVmore]

TylerH5811 Yea I guess I can only wait.

[TylerH5811]

Alright guys I got the call Friday. Got a bunch of poop offered lol. I am staying in Texas. Here’s what I got.

Del Rio
Comstock
Sanderson
Presidio
Marfa

Lady I spoke with said they may get more locations Monday morning when I call back. And they only have 1 spot in Del Rio which would be my first choice. Second Choice is Comstock since it’s on the other side of the lake from Del Rio.

Any input on these stations?

[battlewagon]

Did you only express interest in West Texas?

[TylerH5811]

Nope that’s all they had available. In addition to Lordsburg, NM and a couple in CA.

[Ebbo1227]

TylerH5811 congrats man, I have a question. Did you do your drug test first while waiting for your background to check?

I am on my background since oct 28th when I met with my background investigator, and I haven’t heard anything since, I haven’t heard anything regarding my drug test either.

[TylerH5811]

Honestly I have no clue. Never met or spoke with an investigator. Then all of a sudden I get a call to take a drug test. Did that then two days later I get a call with an offer. And my Cass still has both of those as in progress.

[Carlos0933]

Good afternoon.
I got my EOD on February 10. Picking Comstock. Anyone el picked that location or close to it. Feel free to contact PM.

[TylerH5811]

I picked Comstock and EOD the same day as you

[ArchStanton]

Any input or recommendations on what area to house hunt in/school districts is appreciated.

[jcsaenz3]

Sharyland ISD has a pretty good education it’s a few miles from McAllen. Same goes for houses they will be higher on price but still lower than San Antonio.

[Ebbo1227]

The BI from the Hiring Center emailed me that my Provisional Clearance form was Denied back in May 17, and she don't know why. Do anyone know who I can ask about the Provisional Clear denied. Also if and/or how it will affect my Application process?
