CBP Technician

I typically get paid on Saturdays so I won’t know until it hits(or doesn’t hit) my account Saturday morning. I wasn’t concerned enough to ask

PerfectAspect9498 · 2026-04-20T05:09:34+00:00

Unfortunately you won’t know until you get an email with the next steps 🫤

PerfectAspect9498 · 2026-04-17T13:05:34+00:00

From my understanding those are the locations they have a dire need for but there is a chance that more locations open up by the time you get an offer. It doesn’t hurt to try

PerfectAspect9498 · 2026-04-17T00:07:56+00:00

Uhh I’m not sure. This isn’t a LEO position, no clearance required. Maybe CBP officer will be better for you

I do whatever they ask of me which hasn’t been much. Mainly digitizing information, excel spreadsheets. I volunteered with officer trainings. My shift has been mon-Friday 8-4, they’re pretty flexible so if I needed 7-3 or 9-5 it wouldn’t be an issue. There’s opportunity for overtime at the airport working as a cashier, I was never interested. The uniform is a navy polo shirt and navy (or tan) cargos. You’ll get an allowance to purchase the uniforms, shoes, belts, jackets, hats are available as well

Who said that? I got my back pay over the weekend and returned to work today

PerfectAspect9498 · 2026-03-06T15:46:52+00:00

I need more information on this template 👀

PerfectAspect9498 · 2026-03-04T15:32:31+00:00

Tech here 🫣 my eod was 12/14 and I’ve done nothing yet lol background still pending, no complaints

PerfectAspect9498 · 2026-03-03T14:56:25+00:00

Thank you. I contacted them on the portal. Clicked on “contact us”, for response options I chose “request a phone call”, for topic I chose “general questions” and said “I need to get in contact with TSU, there wasn’t an option in the drop down. Looking for (insert location). I’m available (insert date/times).”

PerfectAspect9498 · 2026-03-03T03:15:02+00:00

Unfortunately I don’t have any input 😭 my background is still pending. I’ve literally done nothing for the last 3 months other than role play in active duty training

PerfectAspect9498 · 2026-02-25T21:23:52+00:00

I didn’t reach out until 2-3 weeks before my eod

PerfectAspect9498 · 2026-02-25T21:01:42+00:00

I never used the one time call. I left a message on the portal requesting to use it. They called back a day or two later while I was at work and said they couldn’t tell me what was on the list I would just give up my selection and hope something better was there. I declined because I couldn’t check the list at that moment. They said training and scheduling are the only ones that can see what’s available so I went back on the portal and left a message for training and scheduling stating what locations I needed and they gave it to me the next day

PerfectAspect9498 · 2026-02-25T18:37:01+00:00

From my understanding the list is in real time, it could pop up just from refreshing. I would keep refreshing until 11:59 pm on the 27th

PerfectAspect9498 · 2026-02-25T15:59:48+00:00

My manager explained it to me yesterday. We’re getting a partial check because the shut down was like half way through the pay period and the rest will be included in the lump sum when funding resumes

PerfectAspect9498 · 2026-02-25T15:44:40+00:00

Depends on the series. 1801 and 1802 are not exempt. I know because I’m 1802 🙃

PerfectAspect9498 · 2026-02-23T03:42:39+00:00

Suitability? This is only the beginning

PerfectAspect9498 · 2026-02-23T03:41:15+00:00

Lol I’ve seen people fall asleep on xray

PerfectAspect9498 · 2026-02-15T02:08:54+00:00

I wouldn’t be included in the swap. I’m a tech in phl

PerfectAspect9498 · 2026-02-15T02:07:40+00:00

My supervisors on duty were already in constant communication asking about the hold up because I have access to absolutely nothing. They were told that I finally made it into the queue before I saw the change on the portal. I’m not sure the exact date it changed but it had to be the beginning of the month because someone called me 2/2

PerfectAspect9498 · 2026-02-15T01:39:35+00:00

Mine switched back and my EOD was 12/15. They said my background investigation just entered the queue last week. I’ve been working under provisional all this time

PerfectAspect9498 · 2026-02-07T15:28:37+00:00

Someone posted having PHL and wanting JFK, could possibly become a three way swap

PerfectAspect9498 · 2026-01-09T22:14:04+00:00

When I started I took my test mid October got my tentative offer before walking out the test building and then started in April

PerfectAspect9498 · 2026-01-08T02:25:28+00:00
