I started my process on February 1st. Today is the 28th of august. I have passed my entrances exam, medical, structure interview, polygraph, fitness exam, and drug test. The last thing I have is my background investigation. Hopefully that goes well that way I can finally get my EOD date! I wish everyone else in the process the best of luck!
Congrats so far. Is that the order you completed everything in? Because its literally mine lol i applied in May , i just passed the structured interview waiting to get scheduled for poly next. I heard its the hardest part do you have any advice ?.
Did you guys elect to start working before your security clearance is completed? I don’t know how to feel about working with an interim clearance, going through their academy, then for whatever reason getting told there is a hold up on my security clearance. You would normally get placed in a position that does NOT require a clearance in the meantime. That affects the pay your receive and available overtime and even promotion timelines
I'm trying to figure out how long the application process actually takes. I’ve seen between 120 and 300 days, but it seems to be moving quickly. I passed the entrance exam and I accepted the tentative offer. What’s the timeline like from this point?
@@abidemisalako2880 everyone’s process takes a different amount of time, my back ground took 4 months but i hear some people say theirs took 9. My entire process took 9 months but some say theirs took 2 years.
I failed my polygraph, waited 2 years then reapplied. I passed it this time and they already started my field investigation process. They also told me they did lift the 100 mile radius rule so that’s great news. Update, I just completed my fitness and drug test. Now just to wait for the job offer! Please give me RGV!
@@Milly_JRT I didn’t lie. I was really nervous also so I’m guessing that’s what messed it up for me. Just remain calm say the truth and you’ll be good. Good luck bro!
Awesome video!!! God bless all our U.S Borders Patrol Agents that in. Frontline on our U.S. BORDERS HONOR FIRST Thank u alll for a JOB WELL done🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👐👆
I'm in the process for GL-9 which is nice, I have a bachelors degree and I am an MP with two deployments under my belt. The entrance exam was waived for me and I passed my Structured Interview a few weeks ago and I literally Applied in late January. Only things I got left is the Poly, Drug Test and PFT (and background investigation but they'll be doing that while I'm in the academy). Only thing I'm worried about is the Poly but the last one I took I passed it but this is going to be more stressful because it is a few hours longer than the last one I took. But assuming everything goes well I will be in the May 2022 academy. Thank for confirmations, as far as I can tell it is a good foot in the door and It'll get me back in crazy shape
We work mandated 10.hour days and we don't get time and a half like the rest of the world. So what the gov did was take away flsa....mandate 10.hour days, then added 25% for the first 8.hours and zero pay the last two hours. And if you don't work those last two unpaid hours you then owe the government those two hours. Pro tip, dont bother with the union, in 12 years they have only gotten us pay losses, mandated 10 hour days and a beard.
I heard you only have to be 18 to EOD and CBP changed the starting grade to GL-7 for anyone joining to get more people in. They also just lifting the 100 mile rule so you can work at any duty station closest to you. Thank you for the video as well. Very informative
Sola Scriptura the 100 mile rule required you to choose a station at least 100 miles away from your home. This rule has been lifted. Stations near your home are now available.
Seems the video cut short. What is the lateral process like? I'm considering Border Patrol vs. enlisting + USACID before applying at the Secret Service.
A wise choice, there are plenty of good info about the process. If I were you I would start applying about a year out both for USBP PA and CBP Officer, because some of the DHS hiring steps are the same for both positions (i.e. drug test, medical, poly), so by completing the steps for one you may speed up the steps for the other, That way you get into the hiring pool that much faster. Best of luck, and thank you for your service
How tough is it spending time with your family while being a border patrol agent? And what about if you want to become a customs and border protection officer?
Becomes easier with seniority obviously. Just got to put some time in. If your interested in the money CBP officer allows you to work a lot more overtime and also a lot more location selection.
Your social life will suffer big time you will work back to back to back 16hr mandatory overtime shifts as well as nights weekends and holidays yes you will make lots of $$$ but you will work your a** of for it as their is no such thing as easy money and yes you will be allowed to work overtime but most of it is forced meaning once your ordered theirs no way of getting out of it. Before anybody starts talking smack I am a former CBP Officer so I know what I'm talking about.
@@G19xray Yes I had my 2 days off, at my port it was a 7 day work week not a 5 day but when your doing back to back 16hr shifts it gets to you and your 2 days off isn't really enough if your thinking of applying or are in the process good luck to you the job wasn't for me but you might like it just be prepared to literally live in your uniform.
@@alextomtom5531 im single with no kids so i dont mind the opportunity to make money honestly. My poly is coming up i heard its the hardest part to pass.
I know I am a year late lol, but I do simply because I deployed 2x as an MP reservist (GTMO & Romania) and I have a bachelors degree. So if I didn't technically qualify they would have let me know once I sent in my application and probably would have told me that I qualified for a GL-7. But alas, I am almost done with the process and I am still Qualed for a GL-9
CAN I TAKE ASTHMA AND/OR ADHD MEDICATIONS WHILE AT THE ACADEMY!!!?!!?? Got rejected from Coast Guard and military. Military makes sense, coast guard- not so much. Recruiters have told me yes. People who’ve attended have told me yes. Is this true? Is their ANY reason I shouldnt believe this? After I graduate the academy, and serve for a couple years, i want to do BORTAC.
@@user-zt7je7ke1r yes you can, you do need 1 full year work experience though , doesn't have to be law enforcement. I would start now while your young! Something I wish I did at 18 and not 27
Can the 1 year minimum be circumstantial? I graduated high school last year and am in college right now. Ive worked as a part time busboy for 6 months and will apply for BP in another 6. By then ill have some college education and 1 “full work year.” I dont plan on getting accepted the first go ‘round. Im getting my EMT basic this summer, then attending the fire academy in the fall. Should I do this? The app. process is about 1 year. At which point would they reject me, and how long till I can apply again?
@@user-nu6vq1su4k true. That's what they told me when I was getting my CI poly while in the army. It's just covid-19 kind of ruined my finances even more to pot
In my experience I respectfully disagree, to certain degree. For short term late payments 60-90 days late payments are easily addressed with memo's to the BI investigator; however, long term financial delinquencies such as bankruptcy and or delinquent federal student loans are automatic disqualifies for sensitive govt positions. my 2 cents.
@@user-nu6vq1su4k Credit matters for a couple of reasons. 1) The gov is looking for trustworthy responsible agents. If your credit sucks, what other aspects in your life is questionable? If you need money, are you more susceptible to bribes? 2) Feds are required to have a gov credit card as part of their employment. If your credit sucks, the bank won't issue you one.
@@user-nu6vq1su4k Can you read? I'm just saying why credit matters to the gov. I didn't mention anything about a specific credit score or anything like that.
You don’t need a college diploma. Just work experience(literally anywhere like Walmart). You’re gonna what? Waste 4 years while someone your age is probably applying, hypothetically gets the job and has already 4 years in, $$$? while you’re just graduating? Think about that. I say while at school, at least shoot your shot and apply. It’s a very lengthy process, but if done right, you can get the job🤝 start your career early!
@@ccs.solo_adventures do you think I can apply while still in school? That sounds like a good idea, I’m trying to finish school ASAP right now so I can hurry and apply while I have my degree. Never thought of applying while in school, not sure how that would work out with my degree.
@@brettmartinez192 most definitely! Look, ima be straight up. I dropped out of college twice trying trying to pursue other stuff, trying new things but I was never close to graduating. At longest you have some work experience somewhere, you might have also depending on how old you are. So if you’re 18/19 you might not be ready for a career like that, but there are some that make. Nothing is ever impossible unto you try. It’s a lengthy process which is why a lot of people fail. People get lazy. It took me like 2-3 days to do my application just so that it can be perfect, have all the paperwork I needed to request, have a good resume, and all that good stuff. There’s there’s eQuip(part of your background) it took me 8 hours to do. Everything about the process is lengthy, but let me tell you, don’t be lazy and just freaking doing. It just depends on how bad you want it. Just trust yourself you can! Make sure you do your research! At the same time apply for CBP officer as well! 2 great options to think about!
Rookies.....they want good work ethics.....they don't want millennial drama.....get to work....be a "yes sir...yes ma'am, no sir...no ma-am" attitude....you will be considered a rookie for your first 3 yrs on the line.......it is a GREAT job....military experience....law enforcementexperience......education above high school....good communication skills.....mature.......people needed......not: I worked an McDonald's and now I want to be a Federal Agent.....this job is not for everyone......
Excuse me sir but what if I come out of high school and have no other experience and join the patrol can I throw my time in service around to the new guys who are coming out of the military and know more tactics than me?
Hey im thinking im gonna apply in 6 months. By then I will have ONLY 1 year of PART TIME busboy experience. Recruiter told me too. See how it is. I dont think I’ll get accepted. I am getting my EMT basic soon and will be attending fire academy in the fall. I will apply for border patrol once ive done that for a couple years. Is this a good idea? Should I apply the first time? How long until after my rejection can I apply again?
So they want you to be honest on the polygraph, but are then obligated to arrest and charge you for any crimes you admit during the test?? Where’s the incentive to be honest then? Everyone is guilty of something...
I am currently in the military been serving for 3 years and I’m planing to do 4-5 years more and I’m planing to transfer to border patrol or customs how soon do you think I should apply?
If you’re already in the military & planning to do another 4-5 years in the military, I wouldn’t necessarily worry about application now. But, I talked to a recruiter & he said start about a year out from your ETS date, the process could take long, BP website has a list of recruiters in your area you can contact as well.
I agree you should start applying at least 1 year out from your ETS date, that way you can complete all the required steps and standing by for an EOD and class date. Best of luck to you, and thank you for your service.
There are many factors. Things the HR and hiring managers have to consider are how many positions they are filling, do you require training (i.e. academy class), do they have candidates to fill a class, and is the position being filled contingent on budget. The best time and worst time to be in the hiring process is be between Aug and Sept. Often the HR and hiring manager needs to EOD a person on or before the fiscal year ends so they will need to rush the processing before Sept 30. But if the applicant doesn't complete the process by the end of the fiscal hiring year, then the position and/or funding could be canceled and re-announced the following FY. If you have a TJO just continue to be patient and periodically politely check with the HR POC to show them you are still interested and standing by for FJO and EOD.
Can I join the Border Patrol without a high school diploma and without a degree? I also wanna be BORTAC, do you think I can make it there without said diplomas?
Thought they had locations in Florida..
One thing that was missed and I like to add. All DHS employees will be exempt on the entrance exam. Also, all Master’s degree graduates start at GS-9.
I started my process on February 1st. Today is the 28th of august. I have passed my entrances exam, medical, structure interview, polygraph, fitness exam, and drug test.

Often the HR and hiring manager needs to EOD a person on or before the fiscal year ends so they will need to rush the processing before Sept 30. But if the applicant doesn't complete the process by the end of the fiscal hiring year, then the position and/or funding could be canceled and re-announced the following FY. If you have a TJO just continue to be patient and periodically politely check with the HR POC to show them you are still interested and standing by for FJO and EOD.

Yes, apply for gl9 vra. Make sure you do a federal resume so it'll be a couple pages long.
