Guys and Gals,

Received the offer from ICE today for the June 23 class. Same SAC I tested. 09/06 tester.

Congrats on the call. If you have any questions about CITP, shoot me a PM. I'm a recent graduate.

Did you test and interview at the same location? In essence were you offered the same office where you tested and interviewed or just where you tested?

-thanks

PS - Congratulations, good for you!!

sorry, duplicate post.

Just curious if any march/april 08' test takers have heard anything.... SI anyone? App packets???
:confused:

I haven't received anything yet, but a few on 911 mentioned that they received a package. I have my fingers crossed for tomorrow because the next mail day is Tuesday.

Congrats to palmed01!!!

I just recieved a packet of pre-employment forms to fill out and return by June 03, then my SI will be scheduled. I hope the process keeps moving right along for me. I tested on 03/03.

i hope you consider 2 yrs "moving along" because if you are excited about the pace, you are going to be very frustrated. it goes somewhat quickly until you receive your tentitive offer, which currently is circa 4-7 mos from the interview. good luck.

Yeah we sept 07 testers are just about at 6 months and still no word on our TO's. Also it looks like the CASS system is going away. Dallas is now taking over all hiring for ICE OI and they said they have nothing to do with that system (which is CBP's). So it looks like the days of knowing when your BI clears, T&S etc. may be over.

i dont know if this is going to help or not, but everytime ive contacted them (dsc) about other positions, they have been very helpful. maybe they will be willing to tell someone where they stand in the process??

From what I've been told by two ICE SA recruiters is that if you already have a security clearance with DHS (BP, CBP, DRO, etc) the process will move faster. Also, some SACs need people more than others and each SAC has the discretion to hire whom he/she pleases; which has a lot to do with how fast you get the firm offer. Therefore, it can be said that with a DHS clearance and applying to an office that has a greater need your process will move a little faster. Luckily, I'm already with ICE and applying for a hard to fill location.

Im also with DHS. ICE called me a few months ago to send in my SF-86 stuff, but since then nothing for all us Sept 07' testers. Here is hoping the intel you got was true! Good luck to you Diggy, let us know if you hear any new intel!

I got the post test packet today in the mail. It came from Dallas; perhaps movement from the Newbies means there will be more movement for others in the pipe.

I probably missed this...but when did you test?

I tested on April 10, 2008 in KC. I wasn't sure if the packet of pre-employment forms would come from my SAC or Dallas, and it was Dallas.

Anyone ever hear of an applicant passing the ICE written test and then getting a "thanks but no thanks" letter instead of being granted a structured interview? I thought everyone that passed the written moved on to the next step, but it's being reported on another forum that this has happend before. :confused:

I never have, but ICE seems to be changing the process a bit this time around. There were some rumors that SI's might be given based on test scores but I have no idea if that is true or not. From what I know of the past if ICE does sometimes thin-letter those after passing the exam, it is very, very rare. Personally I wouldnt worry too much, those guys on 911 are going absolutely nuts with over-analyzing things and spreading rumors around, its starting to get a bit ridiculous IMO.
