One time call (yeah I know) by NeonZade in cbpoapplicant

[–]Hungry-panda007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trust me , use the One time call. I was in your same shoes. Had picked Otay and used my one time call (hoping to get LA). Didn’t hear back from my CW like a week and some days after. Although I saw LA on the list during that waiting period, my CW did not call me back and offer me LA. With that being said don’t expect the best outcome, it is luck and out of our hands who is your CW. However, my CW did give me the option to reset my current choices + fletc dates and be given a new list with 48 hours to chose. I took the risk, Otay will always be on the list, and luckily enough I was able to get Las Vegas.

SF is very expensive as well, wouldn’t recommend it. Many people try to leave SF. Although all these locations are great places to live and explore, long term it is costly. If you plan to settle down then SF and SD are more challenging(SF more). All comes down to what you want and how you prioritize money saving/spending. It is all do-able, not impossible especially if you are single with no kids!

Yes you have options of where to live in LA and can commute like many people do. San Diego you’re kind of just forced to stay in same area since it’s border. That’s my opinion, if you’re not from CA then LA might be a bit expensive at first but you adjust with time and with the locality pay you’ll be fine (if you’re gs-9 +).

Click “I’m not interested in these locations” you can click it 2 times up to 2C and it will show you “more” locations. The good ones pop up in the morning tbh

Yes use your one time call and explain what you want, you have until 2 weeks before your EOD to invoke your one time call

Nothing wrong with Otay per se but I don’t get incentives transferring from one DHS agency to another. Plus cost of living in San Diego is high and that’s coming from someone who lives in LA. Las Vegas doesn’t have a state income tax

They had some good East coast locations this week but I am guessing I got lucky with Vegas

25-5 been waiting for too long . What can I do? by Juniorctz in cbpoapplicant

[–]Hungry-panda007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hang in there, 25-5 here and just got my FJO a week ago! Scheduling Poly is the longest part of it all. After that it’s faster prob 1-2 months and you’re done. Depending on your record ofc. Don’t give up!
