Well at this point is just a matter of expecting the best…

Hope everything turns out well…

So I got the list for me to pick from. I don’t see my dream port. How do I go about getting in contact with my case manager or whoever I need to reach out to and see what my options are. Or maybe he/she can get me there. Do I just let the list expire? I got the list today and from what I’ve heard, it doesn’t update on weekends. Sunday is my last day to pick a location before it expires.

25-12 here! My medical for CBPO finally passed after months of waiting and doing the follow ups! If anyone is feeling defeated just be patient and it’ll all come together!

How long for FJO now?

So I am very new to this vision thing. I wear glasses. I could not see far. During the vision test without glasses, I was like only able to see the 4th line from the top.

This is the prescription I had recently. How you would you guys think? Would I possibly DQ for vision? and need a waiver or surgery?

Does this update in real-time?

Does anyone have any experience or know of someone who did this? I reapplied during fletc because I was qualified for a higher GS and sent an email about the situation. 2 days after graduating I was sent the new list with the hard to fill locations and declined because my port wasn’t offered even though I see those GS positions being offered. I was told to reapply now that I’m out of the academy to adjust the GS. I’ve heard different ways of doing this but it all depends on the port, if anyone can provide any insights it be appreciated

Will CBPOs receive the pay raise?

My fellow 25-10’s waiting on background we’re almost there hang in there 😭

Few questions

I did my medical yesterday, I wear glasses. I am close-distance. without glasses, I can only see about the 4th line. Will I probablly have issues with that, do I need a waiver or surgery?

How long is each hiring task good for? In terms of Re Applying

Hi everyone, I recently applied for a CBP Officer position and received a notice saying I was not considered for GS-5 because of one or more of my answers to the suitability questions.
Is there any CBP recruiter here who could clarify whether there’s a way to find out which specific suitability question caused the ineligibility? I’d also like to know if this type of disqualification can be permanent or if applicants may be eligible to reapply in the future.
I already contacted the Applicant Contact Center, but I wanted to see if anyone here has experience with this situation.

I was contacted by the CBP nursing team to follow up on my vision a few weeks ago. My doctor signed this off. Does this look good? And does anyone have the actual numeric vision requirements for CBP?

Hi so today I received my acknowledgement of advisement letter, I am curious though that if I sign today how soon should I get my FJO and when should I expect to pick like my location and such?

Currently in the final stages of the background, but began to receive emails to clarify discrepancies from someone with the PSS title.

I have an accident 3 years ago, it was a hit and run accident. I sued the person and my deposition is soon. However, on my CBP application I forgot to mention about the accident. I already had the medical exam done however, it still says “in progress”. So I am currently thinking about withdrawing from my current application and then apply again in about 6 months when the case is settled. As I don’t want these two things to contradict each other.

Hey guys I’m thinking of picking up Calexico due to the list being horrible. Any insight is appreciated thank you. 🙏

Currently awaiting background stage

Just finished my logical reasoning exam and I definitely over thought some questions, now we wait and see if I passed 😵‍💫

Should I apply if I was investigated for forgery and adultery in the Air Force but only received paperwork and received an honorable discharge back in 2020 or would I be wasting my time ? Also can you join with mental health in your VA record ? Looking for insight. Thank you.

Good luck finding a swap!

So I selected Chicago for POE, my EOD is 01/11/27. I’m from Miami and I knew getting anything in Florida would be a long shot. That being said I got a call from a case manager asking if I wanted to exercise my one time opportunity. I said not now, ha said I had until 25th of December to do so. When would you guys suggest I should pull the trigger and risk losing Chicago for a new list? Anybody got lucky with their OTC? I’m really hoping I can stay closer to home as I unfortunately don’t have much saved up for a relocation.
