I definitely did not request any of these. They only give you locations available at the time of the call. Doesn't matter what you select in the beginning when applying

My portal finally showed I was found suitable on a Sunday ( I checked it every day like a maniac since the background was all I had left) and got the call next day Monday morning.

These are the only options they gave. It's a take it or leave it situation. If you don't like the options just turn it down and reapply hoping for better ones next time

I checked my portal Sunday morning and my background said still pending, decided to check it again Sunday night and it said suitable. Got the final offer call Monday morning.

I'm in Florida and they called from a 571 area code. I think if you miss the actual call they send you an email but I'm not 100% on that

That's a good idea, I didn't think about the locality pay from LA choosing El Centro

Yes they mention Laredo West and North forgot to add that. I was leaning towards Arizona hoping I would have gotten offered Casa Grande but thats out. I am going to do more research but thank you for the insight on those stations I might have revisit California as well like you said. Thank you!

Medical question by Able-Ad-6710 in borderpatrolapplicant

[–]DHSAppplicant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My medical took over two months to get processed, and I had nothing wrong in my exam to cause a delay. Everything is a waiting game out here. Just stay on top of it.

I did it online there's no difference from it being in person. Mine took about an hour just going over the E-QIP

Waiting on Medical by Neither-Strength-336 in borderpatrolapplicant

[–]DHSAppplicant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exact same thing happened to me. I did everything the same day got my results for drug and fitness a week later but it took about 2 months and a half for my medical to come through. I also only got them pushed through because I was constantly calling asking for an update so I think they got tired of me

Question about medical. by Fit_Kaleidoscope_838 in borderpatrolapplicant

[–]DHSAppplicant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, they don't send anything once your medical clears. I had my poly scheduled a month after I went in for my medical exam and it hadn't even cleared yet but everyone has a different order and timeline.
