I submitted it online with other docs after the test but it was basically the same as how I use for other jobs. just have a cover letter and make reference to border patrol and why you are qualified to become an BPA ---

Not really sure what to expect. Just an FYI…you sign a confidentiality agreement before the oral boards, so you really can’t talk about the interview. I’m 18-24 months out with my application. All green checks. Grade 7 with San Diego as my geo. By the time I get my call I better be teaching again. I’m not holding my breath anymore for this. ---

So you’re able to get back in even though that thing with the polygraph?! Awesome brother! That’s what happened for me, I wasn’t planning on this job and all of a sudden calls kept coming and the process sped up toward the end. ---

Yeah idk what the hell happened with that polygraph. When I spoke to your BI, he looked into mine and a week later I had another drug screening (idk what the hell happened to my first one) then I got a call saying that my application was complete but that the time frame they were looking at was 18-24 months before FLETC. ---

Dont worry too much about the BP oral board interview. Dress well, get a haircut, shave, and have a well put together resume. All of the examiners were very professional and helpful at keeping everone relaxed when I did mine. Expect it to take all day, they try to accomodate the people who traveled the furthest first. I meanwhile will be sitting here praying to god that somone will review my poly and offer a retest before I lose my mind at my current crappy job. ---

Hell yea dude that’s awesome!!! What a crazy ride it has been for you lol I had to do at least 2 drug screens too. The last one was random as hell and could not reschedule.

HAHA I will buy some parts after I get some paychecks in haha It needs some love.

Sounds like BP interviews are different than CBP. I was the only one scheduled for mine, took a few hours rather than all day. The officers were nice and understanding, it wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. ---
