FBI

Anyone else have their P2I in February?

I’m set for early in the month. Still waiting on contact from my FO so I can schedule the flight.

Also, can I expect to have my PFT within 2 weeks of completing P2?

I am still waiting on my PSI and Poly invites. I was really hoping to knock them out ASAP and get into backgrounds sooner rather than later. Especially since I’m now in a blackout period and I’m not allowed time off until mid-March.

Thoughts on calling out sick for these things?

Haha, if only. That would be filed under: request denied by my employer.

I’ve been a Border Patrol Agent for little over a year now, and I’m excited that I’ll be able to apply next month after studying some for Phase 1. I heard after you apply you take Phase 1 pretty quick.

2-3 months?! How is that even possible??

No idea! I assume it's some sort of conditional background check where they do a little bit up front and then finish the rest of it later.

And apparently they had to raise the paycap to nearly $200k to pay all the overtime for agents b/c they're just not getting enough new recruits. Which is then causing older agents to leave. So they really have to recruit quickly before everyone leaves lol.

USSS is one of few, if only, 1811 positions that gets OT.

Just go eyes wide open into the USSS process and position. Your first question should be why are they in such dire need.

Thanks for the new thread. I have been humbled with how quickly they seem to be moving in 2020. I submitted my application and received an invite to test less than 24 hours later. I was curious how quickly you are required to submit your self administered PFT after taking and passing phase 1? I am able to pass the PFT, but was hoping to have some more time to prep and obtain a higher score.

Thanks and good luck.

Hi all.
Been lurking on here for a few months now and finally ready to contribute 😏

I’m a teacher who is looking to transition jobs. FBI has always been a dream of mine so I finally took the plunge and applied on 12/7. Moved very quickly through app/P1 and required info, but now the waiting game has begun.

I submitted my required info on 12/22 and I’m waiting to hear about a meet & greet date/location.. curious to know how long it took for most of you to get your M&G invite? Also, I know it can really be anywhere, but I live in central NJ so I have NY, Newark and Philly FOs close to me... odds my M&G will be at one of them? I only have 2 personal days at my teaching job so hoping it’s somewhere close by that won’t require too much travel time!

Good luck to all!!

Welcome Sd0816, unfortunately I don't think any of us can give an exact answer to that as the M/G, just like many other steps in the process, vary for each individual. IT could be weeks or even months from what I have gathered from various timelines. My best advice would be to trust the process :) and just focus on the things we have control over like our fitness training, etc. Congratulations on taking the leap and good luck to you too!
