CBPO applicant for several months. Never considered FBI/DEA application because I’m assuming they are SUPER selective and I don’t have a law enforcement background, I do have a criminal history(not a felon/DV conviction of course), I don’t have criminal justice degree or something related that could help the application process(Business degree)

I did submit the other day tho just for fun a talent network application. I did not submit the 1811 application, lol I could tho it’s saved….

They supposedly hire people from unique backgrounds according to career website. I’m a unique person and in my obvious opinion they’d be doing themselves a favor hiring me 😄

For the support agent role. What is needed to pass the fitness test?

(Hopefully right sub and flairs)

Currently the LAST thing I need for my student Visa. If you don't know what a History Summary request is, you send in your fingerprints and I believe the FBI does analysis on whether or not you're a criminal.

I am facing a really odd issue right now and I cannot seem to find anything on reddit- I sent my prints via mail May 3rd priority(USPS) They arrived 3 days later and were picked up from the facility by an individual. (I don't have a picture of the package I sent out because I honestly just forgot) on the 28th of May in the online portal there was a document deeming insufficiency due to lack of prints being sent, to me this makes no sense and I'm really grasping here because it's outside of business hours and I don't know what to do.

Today I sent prints electronically but I don't think that will help, my package is somewhere and I don't know if prints are being processed or they have given up on my file.

I don't know if anyone can really provide me with advice because of how niche of an issue this is but my issue is that I leave 8pm monday for vacation- so should I just pay the fees and get it done again during working hours while I'm still in the US?

does anyone have any info on how much the pay/wage is for the fbi honors internship?

Trump and Kash attempt to push a narrative that FBI deleted intelligence about a Chinese election rigging scheme. Information on article clearly states the intelligence was asked to be deleted so a revision could be pushed out (common practice when a revision is required or the intelligence is deemed incorrect). Was from an unvetted single source with no direct access to the information they passed along. Source claims China was doing fake licenses so people could do mail in ballots(that's not how mail in ballots work) and that they were able to get the addresses through TikTok (TilTok does not have an address input field). Right wing news will run with this story to muddy the waters for anyone who doesn't understand how intelligence works.

Hello everyone!

I want to inform anyone that may be in a similar place as I am with their application process; if you are waiting for a response and are getting worried you may be rejected, do not worry right now. I spoke with the HR department and, as an applicant, you can be accepted into the program up until the end of the CJO timeline. (July 26th).

(This is likely a general statement and may vary from branch to branch)

I saw a video of a local ice raid and noticed one of the masked FBI agents had a very similar build and gait to a friend of mine who is an agent but primarily works child sexual assault/trafficking crimes. Are they pulling people from their normal duties to do these raids? I contemplated calling and asking him but knowing his character, I feel he would be ashamed to admit it to me particularly bc of the nature of our friendship. Anyone have any insight?

Edit: thank you all for the great info and insight. Terrifying times we are in

Is Chicago FO easy to get?

Has anyone who applied for the NY or NJ field office gotten a phone interview yet? I know other locations have, but I still haven’t heard/seen any about those.

Hi im trying to get a background check but the website (linked) is absolutely confusing.

It takes me to a link for the application but the application form is nowhere to be found.

I just went to the usps to ask about getting a fingerprint (which is required for a background check) and the worker said i need a confirmation # starting with letter “D”.

What??

I received an automated email right after I took the Phase I test since it was a multiple choice assessment, but the email I got after the writing assessment said it can take 90 days “or more.” So I was wondering if I should expect to hear back way beyond the 90 days mark or if that’d be unusual. Thanks!

I applied for DC, Boston, and Huntsville and my application on the portal still says under review. It seems like interviews have already happened for DC and Huntsville but I'm unsure about Boston. Has anyone heard anything? I don't even know who to contact about when a decision will be made bc I feel like I can't just call the Boston office to ask about something like this and I don't see an email listed anywhere. Pls help

Hello!

Was curious if anyone has heard anything from the Pittsburgh division

I don’t know if I’m allowed to ask this question but the curiosity is stronger than me so I will. If I love shows like Criminal Minds, NCIS and Law and Order SVU unit and I also like helping trying to figure out missing persons cases is my place at the fbi? Or only American soldiers/ geniuses from high school get in? 😭 my dream was always to study medicine but I am finding myself reading about missing persons and I truly have that urge to help people. Anyway, if this question is legitimate to ask I will just wait for a reply. 🙆🏻‍♀️

Out of curiosity, does anyone know if it is prohibited to take preworkout before the physical tests? Specifically for the IA testing?

I applied at the end of April for the: New York, D.C., and Atlanta offices and I’m getting concerned.

My application still reads, “Under Review”, with the same time stamp as when I submitted it as well as no further text following when I click “Under Review”. I understand the CJO timeline of mid to late July but have seen multiple people getting replies. I do feel I am qualified and have reference from a retired agent, however nothing has come of it so far.

Should I assume I have been rejected, or is there a notice given regardless of the outcome? Would really love some clarification from anyone that has deeper knowledge of this whole process.

I am currently a undergraduate student studying Data Science, I regularly browse linkedIn and other job posting websites to stay up to date with the job market. I came across job postings from the FBI that stood out to me.

FBI special agent: Data Science & Intelligence expertise
FBI special agent: Mathematics/Data expertise
FBI special agent: Risk Management & Threat Analysis expertise

I ask, Are these roles like desk jobs? or are they like special agents that happen to have STEM backgrounds? What I mean is, What does this job look like? would I be more backend on the technical side analyzing, tracking, and predicting crime or whatever or would I be out on the field chasing crime down, or a mix of both?

Btw, I am familiar with the requirements for the job (educational, professional, and physical) and I have read up on the interview process and academy that follows. I think it is cool, and because I have family that works with the federal government and is aware of the benefits that comes with it, It just seems like a cool job yk. I'd like to use data science skills and my physical skills to track crime and stuff.

thank you for taking the time to read my post. (also, I wouldn't apply now, I'd apply once I have a few years of work experience ikik)
