ICE Question

[Owned1Up]

This question might have been posed but I could not find it. I know some agencies allow you to apply before you graduate, is this the case for ICE? I am 9 months away from my B.S. degree. Thanks!

As long as you meet the job requirements at the time the position closes, yes.

This is not the same as when they get to you. If the position closes on December 14th and you don't meet the requirements until you graduate on the 15th, you don't qualify and cannot apply.

I remember most people saing that you had to be in your last semester but with as long as it takes to go thru the process I would think you are close enough.

Are we talking ICE OI or ICE DRO?

Does ICE DRO require a degree?

Sorry, wasn't very specific. I was speaking about their SA positions. I have heard of the length of time that it actually takes and wasn't sure if they accepted an application before you graduate. I know the ATF's website states you can apply 9 months ahead of time for instance.

As far as I know, a college degree is not mandatory for the S/A position. A few of my co-workers do not have a degree and used their experience as a substitute.

They could have changed the MQ's so you should check first.

I asked this same question on a different forum. You do not need a degree to apply for the position. That being said, unless you applied for the June opening you will most likely have your degree by the time you register for the next test round so I wouldn't sweat it too much.

oh yes of course they do with ICE. Thats what the recruiter told me back in June. It is just the matter of hitting the vacancy at the right time. I was a month shy of 9 months but now I am eligible. Keeping checking the site weekly. Where else have you been looking applying to?

I second that, Im at FLETC for ICE SA right now, and a good friend of mine in my class has no degree. He was however former USBP and an IEA for a time. Experience can be used in lieu of a degree like eighteen11 said.
