I was the very first one for the interview so I was more nervous about it and interview itself was little over 20 minutes I believe. After the interview I was told to step outside until they call me back. I had to wait about 5 minutes, but that 5 minutes felt like 5 hour.

The board interview could take all day or all of 30 minutes from the time you arrive. it just depends on how many candidates are there that day, how many interviewers, when you're called in, and how long the interviews take. I was out before noon IIRC.
On another note, it looks like things are moving again, thankfully. I got my call for drug testing yesterday. Been about 3 months since I passed my oral boards, first fitness and medical. From what I hear, this is a good sign my background is about to begin once I pass this. Anyone else getting action on their application lately?

The person who was in charge of the interview process was former Marine and he called me first lol. There were about 50 candidates and 5 candidates were given interview per turn around. I think I left Chula Vista before 930AM for sure. I hope I get a call soon for fitness and medical exam soon.

Worth it though in the end!
EDIT: There was something else that kinda shocked me today. I saw something that I haven't seen around the Fresno area in a Loooooooooooooooong time-HELP WANTED sings. I couldn't believe it. My wife and I were going to subway in Pleasonton after my interview and we saw one. We both just kinda stopped and stared at it. It was like seeing a real life do-do bird in the wild duking it out with a Tasmanian Tiger. Last edited by C.W.M.V.; 02-03-2011 at 6:55 PM..

There's been some interesting developments in the past two days for those of us in the hiring process:
1. The email from DHS that says the abolition of FCIP won't affect our hiring status. Huge relief there. 2. There's a new budget proposal put forward by the Obama administration to change the overtime pay plan for agents. It would reduce OT pay by about $110 million. Not good. http://www.businessweek.com/ap/finan.../D9LEJ5600.htm

What they've done is removed the hiring announcements from USAJobs and stopped accepting new applicants for now. Word on the street is that a new hiring announcement will be made sometime in March or later.

It's not that there's a hiring freeze per se...
Currently, the Minneapolis Hiring Center is operating under a continuing budget resolution. Because of that, they don't have the budget to contract out medical/fitness exams. The oral boards are run in-house and staffed by BP Agents, so that is continuing... as is the background investigation. BP is still actively hiring though, and those in TSU have been receiving their calls to EOD almost daily. As it stands, applicants who have tested are receiving their TOs... getting scheduled for their OBs... and getting called to take the whizz quiz, poly, and meet with their BI. The applicants who are frozen for the moment are those who passed their OB, but are waiting on the Med/PFT1... and those who have had their BI sent to IA for review.

As for me two years does not sound too bad since I am only a junior in college right now. I just hope I get hire at the end. All we can do it "hurry up and wait."

So I am guessing next month we will find out if Border Patrol will still hire or not?

Who knows what is going to happen because congress just decided to reduce additional $6.5 billion dollars. Hope we all get hire down the road.

Man, I've been wondering the same thing for weeks now... it seems like every article I read has different info: the Dems accuse the GOP of cutting border security and firing 800 agents... the GOP accuses the Dems of making up stats... and somewhere in the middle of all that is the truth.

I think both party wants to keep the agents, but reduce the expensive fence project. The department says, they rather have more agents down the field than those expensive fence.
But at the end, who knows what is going to happen. Hope we will hear some positive news next month or so. Hang in there guys

Just came back from my Medical/Fitness Test. Doctor said everything looked good. The fitness portion is a breeze if you aren't a fat slob. I just have to go back in 72 hours to check on my TB test and then everything should be good.
The nurse conducting the test was cute. When she had me take off my shirt for the EKG, she giggled. I hope that was a good type of giggle.
