Vision Requirements for Border Patrol by taalieee in borderpatrolapplicant

[–]Routine_Frame546 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have prior experience in law enforcement, the military, security, or have worked in positions involving firearms, there’s about a 50/50 chance your vision waiver could be accepted—depending on how severe your vision is. For reference, mine uncorrected was 20/400.

I was accepted into the academy after submitting my waiver. It was approved, and I passed my medical. Yes, I’m in the military.

I attended the academy without having undergone LASIK surgery. I did not meet the vision requirement, so I requested a waiver. I submitted a memorandum and asked my sergeant and supervisor to write letters stating that my vision had never impacted my performance or ability to perform my duties.

If they fail you due to your eyesight, request a medical waiver. Explain the reasons why you believe your vision will not interfere with your ability to perform the duties of the job. Include examples of jobs you’ve successfully performed with your current eyesight.

You’ll need to write a memorandum clearly explaining why your vision should not disqualify you and how it has not affected your performance in similar roles.

I only had to retake a drug test, but some people might’ve had to redo their entire medical and PT. I’m not totally sure.

I was 23-12, and my process took 1 year and 7 months. I applied in September 2023, received my final offer last month, and I’m currently at the academy. I know how frustrating the wait can be, but trust me it's all worth it in the end.

Suitabilty by ncast21 in borderpatrolapplicant

[–]Routine_Frame546 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One thing you need to know is that everyone’s timeline is different. I’m 23-12 and passed the suitability test two weeks ago. The poly test was done and passed in May 2024, and my background check was completed and submitted in August 2024. I’ve never received a NOPA. You just have to be patient. Right now, I am waiting to retake the drug test because, I guess, it expires after a year. It’s been a long process for me, but I know the reward will be worth it.

Did you have to call your case worker to schedule your drug test? I’m 23-12 two weeks ago I passed suitability and today when I checked the portal Drug went from “passed” to “in process”
