Getting into fbi or Ciawith foreign background

Hello everyone So I was born in syria Damascus. Came here legally when I was 14 years old. My plans were to go to medical school so went to high school here then earned my bachelor's in biology. Only reason I wanted to be a doctor is to help people but seeing from my family members how patients are being treated like a money maker machine I decided that I don't want it anymore. This year I am graduating with my masters in cyber amd ethical hacking. My cousin she is attorney and she works in homeland but the thing she was born here I wasn't. I am wondering how hard it is to get into since I have syrian background. Also let's imagine if I did would I be treated like a trash just because I am syrian. Many doesn't understand that since I grew up here I loved united states and I am ready to fight for this country anytime. I kept clean record never got in trouble. I even volunteer when I can however with all of that I still hear go back to your country word. Like when I used to be 8 years old I used to see Americans in syria visiting Damascus we used to welcome them with smile when syria was fine with no war. Never heard anyone telling an American go back to ur country. All of this just discourage me from applying. What are your thoughts. I am US Citizen already not visa lol

Career Planning

I have a degree in Psychology. Did active duty for 10 years. I am thinking about getting my Masters. What would be the best graduate degree if the goal is to become an FBI Special Agent? I’d be open to any other agencies as well (CIA, DEA, etc.)

True kindness is a rarity

Had to say that True kindness is a rarity

Was thinking earlier, wanted to in the future contribute 90-100% of income leftover after basic expenses to some charity that helps underprivilege kids

Been trying to find out what was worthwhile to do, in life, for the longest time. Sometimes when you eventually discover the important things, it's not always, and likely not often, at the right time

Or to put that money into some good or effective ways instead of some people in nonprofits, and others, mishandling the money

What's interesting is that don't feel like there's much support for that. When it comes to other people in this world. And when anything done would be short-lived and ruined anyway

Not so sure if human beings and this so humane.. humanity would reach these ideals in however many centuries...., all of which have said in the longer past

I guess some people can still hope, those much fewer people are quite something so rarely remarkable in humans

This world is so wrong in so many ways, and the ways they do so many things. Not everything. There's a few, very few, good people in this world

Some people in this world wonder why other people out there don't try anymore.

Extreme Criminals Saying They Are "Allowed"

There are a lot of criminals in my area who keep saying they are "allowed" to do things that are, to my understanding, extreme felonies. Such as: breaking and entering, violent sex crimes, hate crimes, and espionage (things targeting DoD/military).

Are there any LEAs that are working on things like this? Are there no police anymore? Just wondering if I am the only one here wondering what's going on.

Helpful

Could anyone online that's experienced and knowledgeable give me advice on this. It'll be helpful. I'd like to prep in giving my mom all money. I'd like to know how I can say it so she won't feel sad in general

I'm not sure how the thought pop into my mind. Was thinking about a kind of new start, new life earlier

Thank you kindly

 

Other thing would like appreciate to know is if it'll make any difference doing anything else in life going forward. It's very unclear to me if I just give up with all of life after completing what my mom asked of me

It helps to know if anything I do in new life would make any difference

In past, I was trying to make the future of society perfect, in theory. Bunch of things. Obviously I had failed and was not ready to do that. And that's just life given the current conditions of the world and everything

And I think state of health was alot worst afterwards. I'm not sure what caused it. It was probably a whole bunch of things. It's hard to remember alot of things. Emotional skills among many other things could be alot higher

Chat is open. Would appreciate experienced and knowledgeable help on these.

I don't know if doing anything except a very few things would make any difference in life. Thank you kindly

“Qualified For” Changed in FBI Applicant Profile

I applied for a (non Special Agent) position with the FBI in April 2023. As of August 2023, my Applicant Profile showed the position under Qualified For. I had an interview 2 days ago (April 2024), and as of this morning the Qualified For has since changed and there's nothing listed. I haven't received any other correspondence. Does this mean I am no longer under consideration for the position? I also emailed HR but it's Saturday so hoping to find some answers.

Am I allow to live a simple life

Am I allow to live a simple life

I haven't done any violence like other people have. And I haven't done much of anything in general

Someone one time mentioned about pacer site

I just would like a simple life in a good environment that's peaceful

Could you pick someone else that has done violence and the worst things. Or someone who's created anything very bad like smoking or drugs or fast unhealthy food that kills people. I haven't created anything. I literally have had no significant impact on anything in this world so far

I've improved somewhat a bit over time. It takes time. It takes good doctors. And good environments. It's mentally draining. I don't have that in my life. I don't have a good surrounding

Could the person who does my case. Could I just meet them somewhere and they put me somewhere for however long or just give me death penalty

When I was little I also didn't do much of anything, especially nothing severe like violence. I also never once touched anyone in case anyone thought that. I actually haven't done any of that. I was pretty much just bullied in school

You look at my life I haven't actually done much of anything. Almost all was just listening to different problems of different kinds

So many other people in this world has done so much worst

In the long past, I tried to help in the little that I can by mentioning the different problems out there

I do life within the law as death plenty

Put people in schools or well-being centers..

Interested in doing interviews

Hello community!

I had good experiences in getting info and interviews in other communities so I thought id try it here.

Looking to interview current or former FBI agents. Subjects or topics can be malleable depending on what you are comfortable sharing.

Can I go to the office and ask them to please stop

Can I go to the office and ask them to please stop and have this be over with. Is there any point in doing anything. Any progress made in different areas of life would just be short-lived and go to waste anyway

Need someone to listen to me. Please. I am telling the true story about my situation. You would have suspect suspicion too if you were in my position.

I need help here. I have evidence and witnesses. I have discovered some things that don’t make sense and the consistency of behavior and events proves that things aren’t a coincidence.. I have made an online report already. But, I need help now. Please. I explain my situation to others around me and they have all come to the same conclusion as I did based on the turn of events and the documented evidence that raise suspicions. I was involved in a car accident that I have reason to believe was set up to kill me and my unborn son at the time. The behavior of those around me and were involved shows that there’s something fishy going on. I have witnesses and there was missing body cam footage, not to mention that the prosecuting attorney was livid when I won’t in traffic court when they tried to charge me with the accident. They fucked up royally and it’s obvious. Now I’m dealing with retaliation and exploitation. My reputation is being destroyed by these people and I also have their connections to one another down to a T almost. Someone please help me. I’m not an investigator that is authorized to do this kind of investigation. Please help thanks

Overwhelmed by so much guilt, remorse and empathy

I am sorry for having delusional beliefs that the corrupted police are after me and I am sorry for having paranoid fantasies to harm police officers due to symptoms of Premorbid Personality Disorder prior to symptoms of Bipolar Disorder with psychotic features.

I now understand that police brutality is a rare statistic and most of you are harmless, thank you for your service, I appreciate it 😊 😁

Question about police cameras.

How does cop body cam footage normally get on to sites like YouTube? Is it uploaded by a law enforcement organization most of the time or is it just leaked videos?

Joining the FBI's Cyber Division

Hello everyone!

I was curious to see if anyone has some insight about how the cyber division works and how can I get into it.

For some background: I'm currently 22 and a cybersecurity student. I'm set to get my Bachelors degree in December of this year and I'd like to get a Masters degree after. I'm currently working at the hospital due to wanting to go into healthcare about 4 years ago and i've been trying to get into IT ever since. I'm wondering what careers I should be working to work my way up the top, what certs I should be focusing on and anything that can put me on the right track.

I appreciate any input and thank you!

How do I get a job with the FBI that utilizes my unique skillset?

Sweet grandma Jesus, somehow I wound up homeless in Phoenix where the prospect of living under a rock on a mountain and eating outta garbage cans during a 120 degree shitshow summer does not appeal to this delicate fuckboi of indeterminate gender. Naturally, I consulted my cult, and they suggested getting a job, like I've ever done that before in my thirty-three years of life on this God-forsaken rock. But, what job could I do? My only tangible skill is my incredible ability to juggle, but I was banned from the circus for what I did with the elephants, so what's a fool to do?

That's when the aliens planted an idea in my head by having me find a dime bag of what might have been bath salts today; why don't I just sell out and work with the feeb? I mean, I'd be a crackhead for working with my natural enemy, but I had an epiphany!! Someone's gotta look at all that child porn to identify potential suspects, and my God am I just the selfless servant that would be willing to torture myself by looking at eleven year olds sixteen hours a day, seven days a week. I can start today.

You think this is a good idea? I think this is a great plan. And I'm following through with this idea, so, y'know, buckle in, because after I get finished spilling my brain juice all over your computer monitor at Quantico, you're gunna find that a big spooky ghost went all the way through your pants. Let's go over my qualifications, shall we?

#My Qualifications

1 - Smart AF

This one's self-evident, but, y'know, I got one of those next-gen galaxy brains. We're ain't talking no brain dead 130-IQ losers. You want a number? 147 baby! Biggest brain in the world. Einstein jacked off to the mere thought of having lobes like me. I can do quantum mechanics and just teleport criminals to jail from the shitter, no cap fer reel.

Now, that magnanimous double-edged sword comes with the caveat that I'm schizoaffective and autistic. What that means in babby speak is that I can tell you that God is a unified field of consciousness that has folded in and on itself to create a nodal communication system whose reception of transmissions across the artificial membranes creates the illusion that the universe is the byproduct of a self-replicating binary algorithm that creates recursive fractal hierarchies of mechanical systems which grow logarithmically more complex as new rulesets are generated as emergent phenomena from previous rulesets in stratified epochs of novelty until the most novel forms manifest a singularity, but tying my shoes? That's what velcro is for! Gotta take the good with the bad with me, but trust me, it's worth it!

2 - I Once Thought I Was An Undercover Cop For Six Years Following A Weird Acid Trip

Yea, that happened. Started with the CIA full-on hard-on MKULTRA-ing me while I was in the confines of my own home. Long story. Joined a cult that might have been a top secret brainwashing program called Love School (I'm unsure what reality is), escaped to become a woman on another acid trip before spiraling into homelessness, where I traveled the country thinking it was my job to create a sex cult honeypot revolving around incestuous necrophilia, a feat that actually did get me v& by the FBI, which, y'know, is exactly what my handler in the CIA was gunning for. That whole time I was thinking I was going to infiltrate a human trafficking operation or something. I dunno, I was just doing what I thought God wanted of me.

3 - I'm More Fucked In The Head Than Ed Kemper's Victims

You wanna hear my favorite joke? Alright, here we go:

So, I was walking down the street when this guy comes up to me and asks me if I would abduct a child. I go “woooah fellah…we gotta negotiate first!” So, we haggle and he talks me up to doing it for 47 cents and a limp handjob in a Denny's parking lot.

Good, right? Wait, hang on, here's my second favorite joke:

If I had a dog I would name it Insane, so if anyone ever asked if I was fucking insane, I'd say no, I'm fucking my sister.

God damn I'm a crazy mother fucker! Ain't no supervillain thinking I'm anything other than the trash of the Earth. I can network with the scum of Satan's toilet any day of the week. Just give me some whippits and I'll infiltrate any criminal enterprise. Guaranteed!

4 - I Know How Predators Think

Now, I don't wanna be busting some hard-working moonshiner who bought an eighth of weed in Tennessee. I wanna catch the fuckers that are pure evil. Nasty, awful cold-blooded reptile types that do the diddling. And I'd be good at it too, given that, y'know, I know how we they think. I'd be able to do loop-de-loops around the perverted fuck sticks that only care about their meat sticks. I'm just good that way. Also, don't investigate me, plz.

5 - For Real, I'm Good At What I Do

So, like, I'm just going to pull the curtain back and declare that what you're reading now? Yea, that's character work. I'm playing a character. I'm good at playing this character. Why? Well, y'know, the dazzle camouflage prevents me from being taken seriously, but I actually was brainwashed to be a messiah candidate. I'm gunna keep this abridged, but for the last nine years I've had the most dubious series of events that have functionally trained me to be a damn competent and prolific writer and community organizer with skills in marketing and networking with neurodivergent populations. I can absolutely make useful honeypots and infiltrate concerning communities. Also, I'm a professional performance artist. Made six bucks one time. Serious. I'm like God's gift to humanity.

Anyways, I'll let you think it over your chai tea macchiato latte enema. Alright, like, before you go reporting me for being a dipshit, I'm actually dead serious that I would like to work with the FBI. I just don't know how to go about that. My story is weird, and I'm not your run-of-the-mill agent potential, but I do have a good head on my shoulders and a golden heart in my chest. I'm in a weird position in life because I decided that it was wiser to perceive and undo the karmic fetters that bound me to the existence-illusion complex than continue chugging along on the road of the American rat race, but that's bestowed me with a profound amount of wisdom that I freely share in my edutainment project, which grows by the day. I'm shooting for fame, so I can do much good with my life, and with that comes the need to seek out if I can do even more. I'm certain there's some utility to my peculiar nature; I just have to be applied properly. I don't know how to do that, but I'm sure the bureau knows a way. Just, trying to put myself to use, y'know? So, how do I do that?

What can i do to become agent

I am currently 18 and studying for a bachelors degree in computer engineering w/ minor in computer science. I know i am far below the mininum age to be an agent. However, I was wondering what steps can I take now (if any) to get my foot in the door or prepare? I am aware that chances are I will never become an agent, but if I can increase my odds years in advance I would love to do so.

Question About Reaching Law Enforcement

I am dealing with complicated issues involving stolen assets, identity theft, impersonating people and killing as well. Has anyone had success dealing with complex issues with police or FBI? How do you go about it? It seems like a black hole.

I wanted to make an effort to report this even if it is farfetched that anything would happen. Obviously it would be nigh impossible for me to do anything myself, and vigilantism is technically illegal, even if it seems like there is too much crime for any law enforcement to realistically deal with.

Rejected FBI Honors Internship?

I haven’t gotten any updates from my application, I was just wondering if they decided not to go forward with me, do they at least send an email saying you were rejected for closure? I know they’ve been busier than usual this year, and I prob picked the most busiest offices in NYC, LA, and Miami. Has anyone heard back from those offices, or still waiting?

Advice FBI Honors Internship 2025

Some info: I am currently a first-year university student in my second semester studying Econ and finance. I applied to the 2024 internship and got an interview but did not proceed to the 2nd round. I applied again for 2025, received an interview from the same FO as 2024, and the interview went well. Which leads me to my question.

In the case I am not selected for 2025, should I continue to apply until I get in or should I wait until I have a few more years of experience. I worry that I'm too "underqualified" compared to other applicants who often have years of research or job experience. Any advice?

Can you join the FBI if you have a medical marijuana card?

I was prescribed medical marijuana for depression. I don’t like weed never had the first time i tried it was because my doctor recommended it and i didn’t want to be on Zoloft or Prozac. I’ve had a medical marijuana for less than a year. Looking for another job and saw on my LinkedIn that the fbi is hiring. My question is can i still apply to the fbi even though i have the marijuana card can I still Apply? Even after revoking. It’s still on my medical history. I haven’t bought anything in the last 3-4 months but the card is still active? Kind of regret getting the card tbh. Did not know it would be a hassle to apply for serious jobs in the future since it’s still not legally federal.

Experience needed

I’ve been told I need experience before joining the FBI, I was wondering if it would be still considered as experience if it was outside of the US. I’m currently living in England and planning on becoming a US citizen and joining the FBI, if I had police work experience here, would they class it as the same as having experience in police over in the US? Trying to find the fastest way I can join. (To clarify, I don’t mean FAST, but most efficient, Ik it’s a long process)
