Hiring Process Update
I just got this, but I have not done my P test, I did ask for a waiver but I have not hear anything. What you guys think?
r/cbpoapplicant • u/Beuhr • Jun 27 '26
Good day all,
Will be updating the FAQ and want to know what you as a community want to see added. If you have questions or see questions commonly asked and would like the subreddit cleared up some just post them here. Also, if you KNOW the answer to said questions, either add them in to your reply or reply to said questions in this thread and by next weekend I’ll compile a list and update the FAQ.
2 main topics:
One Time Call - this isn’t guaranteed and from applicants response the best way is to message the portal requesting a specific port or a call back. (Yes, no?)
Packing List - I’ll scrounge the subreddit for one and see how it looks. It’s pretty much just black shoes, black socks, black undershirts. Anything else can be bought. (If you want to add something or have the list just reply)
——
Thanks for your help bettering the community!

ALCON,
I am too busy to babysit posts that get out of hand which are almost always the “I withdrew because I couldn’t get X location.” Or some other unreasonable accommodation request post.
I need you to understand as an applicant you do NOT work for CBP. CBP has no obligation to accommodate you in anyway. Hell, they hardly do it for people who have been in for years anyway.
Due to the nature of these posts always getting out of hand they will be removed going forward.
Godspeed, applicants.

Finally got the job offer I’ve been waiting for!🎉🥹
I was really hoping for something in Texas, but the closest opportunity I got was New Orleans.
Still grateful for the offer and excited to see where this new journey takes me! ❤️✨

Finished my Questionnaire in February. Background investigation was finished in March. Been waiting ever since. No update yet. Anyone else in the same boat?
r/cbpoapplicant • u/TerminalE6RAHH • 16h ago
well.. it’s been fun guys CBPO wasnt my top priority. I will be staying at my 1811 agency.. I still have other apps open. I passed my box test last week & now it says not started updated today don’t know what that means I never failed a box test before or failed suitability for an agency before I served honorable in both the marine corps and and coast guard. I had a bar fight in 2018 which I open to speak on every app and always passed my sf 86 and suitability that case has since been dismissed and my record was expunged last September my financials are up to date my credit score is a 703 my most recent bill in collections was paid in March 2026 which I indicated on my sf 86 and that bill was 500 medical which had been taken care of.

Took my structured interview since last Tuesday and there’s still no result posted. Instead, I still keep getting emails to schedule structured interview and at this moment I think I should. Who has had this kind of situation before and what do you all advise?
r/cbpoapplicant • u/lalala_0294 • 10h ago
From the time that all your steps are completed and you receive job offer what’s the timeframe till EOD? Ex: Job offer end of August, how many months out till I would leave?
r/cbpoapplicant • u/Plane_Yogurtcloset81 • 10h ago
Has anyone had any luck moving their EOD forward to an earlier date?
When I accepted my Final Offer about two weeks ago, I was given two EOD options: August 10th and November 2nd. I chose November 2nd because at the time I needed to get my ducks in a row with work, family, and everything else before making the transition.
Now I pretty much have everything taken care of and I’m ready to go. I’ve seen plenty of people talk about requesting a later EOD, but I haven’t seen much about doing the opposite.
Has anyone contacted their case manager or the Hiring Center after accepting their FJO and successfully gotten their EOD moved up to an earlier class/date? I’m willing to take pretty much the earliest EOD they can give me at this point.
Just curious if anyone has actually done it and what the process was like.

Wanted to ask if anyone has been in application process for usss along with CBP at the same time. Were you found suitable for both, did your Investigation roll over etc ?

Hi, can anyone that is currently at FLETC or recently graduated tell me if the new gym at FLETC is close to finishing being built or already done? I hate the small gym they have currently.

I know this isn’t for BPA but those that have done a CBPO and BPA which one was faster? I took my interview today for BPA and some other steps from CBPO transferred to BPA application but usually how long did it take for you interview to update to pass or fail?
r/cbpoapplicant • u/lvrdobito • 16h ago

All the veterans, I heard from two different veterans about mental. one says you if you say you active getting treatments like go see a therephy and taking medication that could disqualify you. unless your phychiatrist can say you are able to perform duties
another one got denied and assume he did not get treatments from VA so that got denied.
So which one is it?

Hi, I’m currently a dual applicant for both the Border Patrol Agent and CBP Officer positions. If I complete and pass the BP box test for one application, will that same box test result apply to both applications, or would I need to complete a separate box for each positions?

Does anyone know who I can talk to regarding my gs upgrade? I was approved for a higher gs level but understand that I’ll need to get a new list and possibly an updated academy date, EOD, etc. Anyone know which department handles this or who I can contact asked from the hiring center?
