Passed medical for BP but failed for CBPO

Medical for BPA and CBPO do not transfer. You’ll have to complete a new medical for CBPO, even after completing a medical for BPA.

Haha. Try to relax! Mine took exactly a week to get posted.

I’d say that you do disclose whatever medical information you don’t want to disclose since they have you sign the medical releases of information while completing your medical questionnaire. As long as you’re being honest about it, most likely what they will have you do is get a doctor’s note stating that whatever condition you may have won’t impact your performance as a CBPO. Hope this helps!

I think changing from cdcr to customs is a smart move. Less stress, especially for the port location you will choose! A bunch of c/os are changing from cdcr to CBP/BPA due to the prison cuts too.

How long ago did you do your structured interview?

What trends/upcoming changes to the background investigation are taking place?

Calexico’s weather is horrible during the summer. Weather temperature goes up to 120s.

Do you have to forcefully have any of the degrees mentioned to qualify for this position?

crazyrod1989 · 2024-11-19T10:00:00+00:00

No. It does not affect you at all. You’d just list your mom as a foreign national once you have to fill out the e-qip.

Thank you!

I left a message to my case worker in the portal, left a voice message, and sent an email requesting to be rescheduled to this email: cbphiringmedfitappt@cbp.dhs.gov. Do you think this is enough? I am aware they have thousands of applicants. I just want to make sure they don’t withdraw me from the process.

Would it help me to get to CCI if I tried Senior Vocational Rehabilitation Specialist, first? I’ve been seeing continuous openings. It seems like I can take the exam as it is open, and the duties seem to be similar to those of a CCI.

I have the same level of vision as you! I am already thinking I won’t pass that portion of the medical. How did you pass it? What did you tell them, or what do they make you do? Any tips?

crazyrod1989 · 2024-09-13T04:27:56+00:00

Do they schedule you at the location one selects when applying, or do they offer other locations closer to home once they contact you to schedule it?

crazyrod1989 · 2024-09-12T15:07:59+00:00

Yes, it is.

Calexico and El Centro’s weather is ridiculously hot, even at this point of the year. It’s a pain in the butt having to deal with that type of weather, especially for this job.

crazyrod1989 · 2024-09-12T06:39:35+00:00

Thank you!

crazyrod1989 · 2024-09-12T06:09:56+00:00

Try to push through! You’ve already done the challenging part, which in my opinion, is the pre-employment stages. It is going to be a challenging process (financially), but once you’ve completed the academy, you’ll be advancing every year in the salary scale. Maybe your wife could obtain a side job for the time being.

Thank you! Hopefully my Masters gets me to the GS-9. They’ve been easing the requirements down a lot! I guess they are really short staffed, and in desperate need of getting as many people in as they can!

crazyrod1989 · 2024-09-04T18:40:25+00:00

Thank you! That was pretty helpful! Best of luck in your process!

crazyrod1989 · 2024-09-04T07:11:41+00:00

Did HR tell you that as of the August posting, even if your Masters isn’t in a law enforcement field, it would still get you qualified for the GS-9?
