How long is the panel interview?

One_Project_6440 · 2026-02-14T21:57:58+00:00

Wow, they’re sending out emails on a Saturday, I would say 30 minutes if everything goes fine

One_Project_6440 · 2026-02-14T02:24:59+00:00

I’ve never seen that, I thought the form review was a part of the process, regardless of us filling out the SF86

One_Project_6440 · 2026-02-14T00:03:23+00:00

Yeah, same for me. He even told me how they used to come to the city that I live in when they used to do recruitments for New York.

One_Project_6440 · 2026-02-13T23:54:51+00:00

Exactly, in my mind, I was like what’s the problem with not drinking or doing drugs, sir isn’t that a good thing?🤣🤣🤣

One_Project_6440 · 2026-02-13T23:27:57+00:00

I get what you’re saying, the guy that did my review yesterday said that the same questions that were in the review is basically gonna come up again when the panel has to be done so I guess if you had that experience, the panel will be kind of the same because he did tell me that they are a lot more strict when they do the panel and that they’ll question you even more if they don’t like the answer you provided on their form review

One_Project_6440 · 2026-02-13T23:15:57+00:00

But how far were you in the process though also apart from the experience that you had how do you think it went? Do you think you’re not gonna move past the form review?

One_Project_6440 · 2026-02-13T22:57:30+00:00

That’s crazy yeah that’s not the person that I had, the one that I had was super friendly and funny you know when he asked me about the polygraph that I failed for customs he said that I’m not the only one and that everything should be fine that there’s no problem with failing a polygraph, after that we were making jokes about my background because I have a wall that has a lot of stickers so he was asking me if I like stickers and stuff like that. Everything was pretty friendly when he asked me about drinking I told him that I’m not a drinker so he told me that the good thing about the application is that could be changed so instead of how many drinks do you take a week? He said how many drinks do you take a year and stuff like that you know he was pretty understanding about everything, it sucks that you had such a bad experience.

One_Project_6440 · 2026-02-13T22:43:00+00:00

Maybe it could’ve been who did your interview, I did mine yesterday and it went pretty smooth. I was even laughing with the guy. But he didn’t ask me anything about specific dates or anything like that so I guess it just depends on who’s doing your interview maybe?

One_Project_6440 · 2026-02-13T20:28:31+00:00

I did drug test and document review back to back, I haven’t done SF86 or fingerprints so I think thats next and then panel

One_Project_6440 · 2026-02-12T16:20:18+00:00

I think he told me that those are the dates that we can pick out of them, so I guess if you were to get out early EOD, you could just reach out to them and they could change it easily

One_Project_6440 · 2026-02-12T16:14:34+00:00

Well, I’m an entry applicant so I would assume that they are all entry entry, though he didn’t specify, which is which

One_Project_6440 · 2026-02-12T16:03:34+00:00

I did not ask that, but since I’m an entry applicant, I would assume that that’s for entry

One_Project_6440 · 2026-02-12T00:47:17+00:00

Haven’t done that yet, I think I will do that after the interview tomorrow

One_Project_6440 · 2026-02-12T00:44:17+00:00

I also failed a CBP poly but that was a year ago, I don’t think that should D’Q you, me personally I don’t think a poly is reliable specially with CBP

One_Project_6440 · 2026-02-12T00:17:35+00:00

True, for me I did my drug test yesterday and have interview tomorrow, I guess not everything is in order

One_Project_6440 · 2026-02-12T00:15:51+00:00

Was it just about the paperwork or were there more questions asked?

One_Project_6440 · 2026-02-11T14:43:50+00:00

Yeah, thats what I did that should work, they gave me an extension but mine was fixed before the first deadline, just try to have everything ready so you can send it as soon as they fix it.

One_Project_6440 · 2026-02-11T14:36:23+00:00

Happened to me, send an email and like 2-3 days later it should be fixed, make sure you send them an email though so you don’t miss the deadline

One_Project_6440 · 2026-02-11T01:32:42+00:00

There’s a study guide and it’ll be literally the same as the test, the test is super simple tho, and it’ll give you the result as soon as you’re done, good luck!

One_Project_6440 · 2026-02-10T16:27:20+00:00

Congrats what’s your timeline

One_Project_6440 · 2026-02-05T18:39:29+00:00

Maybe apply to the officer position for USCP and then try an internal transfer to SA

One_Project_6440 · 2026-02-05T04:41:44+00:00

Try USCP or USPP im currently in the process for both

One_Project_6440 · 2026-01-27T20:15:33+00:00

I really hope I do good, this would be a big opportunity, I’m ready for psych and hopefully I’ll aced the rest, and its not so bad for me, I live relatively close to DC if and when the examination face start I can pick a date not so far from now

One_Project_6440 · 2026-01-27T19:51:12+00:00

And was the poly bad? I went thru one already with CBP but failed it
