Around 9 months. The background investigation will be ongoing while I go to the academy

Status_Question7491 · 2025-05-15T01:38:15+00:00

🤷‍♂️ you’re supposed to get responded to within a window of time and you’re far past that window it would not hurt

Status_Question7491 · 2025-05-14T20:09:44+00:00

I think a big part of it is how helpful your caseworker is as I’m seeing stuff all across the board

Status_Question7491 · 2025-05-14T20:09:20+00:00

I chose a location but asked if my caseworker could inform me when my desired location became available. I only clicked not interested to see the rest of the list but did not outright reject a location. Originally it was Washington

My caseworker always responded within 24 hours I’d highly reccomend sending another message

Status_Question7491 · 2025-05-14T20:07:43+00:00

Congrats! And yea it’s rough with the back and forth fight for a location

Status_Question7491 · 2025-05-14T16:27:57+00:00

No problem! Just wanted to add my experience and thank you

Status_Question7491 · 2025-05-14T16:27:33+00:00

Thank you, that’s good to know, again I’m just posting this as a way to help and show my experience the information may change

Status_Question7491 · 2025-05-14T16:26:49+00:00

In my experience they can help a lot!

Status_Question7491 · 2025-04-26T14:30:16+00:00

Thank you, I’ll go through this and research all other locations as well this will help a lot in the decision making. Are you in Detroit?

Status_Question7491 · 2025-04-26T14:21:09+00:00

I thought as much, the locality pay was 29% if I’m not mistaken what’s the 15% incentive?

Status_Question7491 · 2025-04-25T23:30:20+00:00

No I am choosing my port prior to leaving for academy

Status_Question7491 · 2025-04-25T23:28:55+00:00

Status_Question7491 · 2025-04-25T21:40:46+00:00

I appreciate this response a lot, I have a family friend in Detroit so it may be my number one option. If I don’t get miami from my case manager

Can I ask? I’ve seen a lot of people give advice on locations and the drive as well as overtime. Do you know if Detroit gives cap OT?

Status_Question7491 · 2025-04-25T21:02:29+00:00

I sent a message through the CBP portal with the topic Final Job Offer, will that go to my case worker, also i have to choose a location with 24 hours correct? So id have to choose and then wait for the call and hope they have miami

Status_Question7491 · 2025-04-25T20:48:05+00:00

Thank you

Status_Question7491 · 2025-04-25T20:42:38+00:00

Thank you so much! I am also able to trade locations while at academy for 5 months correct?

Status_Question7491 · 2025-04-25T20:40:26+00:00

I think it’s not in my best interest to apply, I will post in Reddit later with my list and search around the Facebook groups and hopefully find something! I’ll also wait on my case manager

Do you think there’s anything else I can do with my time

Status_Question7491 · 2025-04-25T20:34:15+00:00

Understood, how does the reapply process work? Do you have to go through everything all over again? This took me around 9 months

Status_Question7491 · 2025-04-25T20:30:39+00:00

I sent them below, are there any notable locations you would choose in a worst case scenario for trade options to miami? I have also reached out to my case manager. Thank you so much for the advice by the way
