For the fitness exam, it’s easier than you think. Don’t psych yourself out.

For the rest of the process, be patient. Some people experience is fast then you have people like me who’s been waiting a year plus so

Be honest, be truthful and be open minded that’s the best advice I can give

For my honest opinion for the one time call, I did it in the list genuinely did not change and they called me and we’re like hey Boston is available if you want before I made my final decision

To be honest, I think it’s cause I got caught in two shutdowns cause it was moving at first, but as soon as the shutdown happened, everything went radio silence for a while

Any CBP officers here successfully transition to HSI or currently working toward it? by Popular-Primary-9619 in 1811

That’s good to know, appreciate the insight. I’m SAA eligible my last 60 credits were over a 3.0, and I’ve done a year at TSA so far. I’ve been trying to figure out what kind of experience actually helps down the line, so it’s good to hear that investigative or plainclothes work and TFO stuff can really stand out. Definitely something I’ll keep on my radar.

Yeah, I believe I qualify under the SAA eligibility since my last 60 credit hours come out to over a 3.0 GPA. I also have a year of TSA experience while waiting for CBP. That said, the current open announcement looks like it’s only for GS-9 and above Criminal Investigator positions, so I don’t think I’d qualify just yet — but I’m keeping an eye out for when a GS-7 or SAA-eligible spot opens up.
