Off-topic, but what is the general dress code for most support staff?

Does every office have more interviews after adjudication?

For context: (this year) Interview - 1/8 CJO - 1/19 Poly - 3/15 Start of BI - 4/9 Adjudicated - 7/1 FJO (different job position) - 9/27

I was favorably adjudicated at the end of June and haven't heard anything from anyone yet. I was told my portal would be updated, but it still hasn't. I was told I'd soon be contacted by HQ but haven't. I'm feeling incredibly discouraged. I've even messaged through the portal to ask if I could get an update of any sort, but that was over a week and a half ago and I haven't heard anything back. I applied for the 2022 cycle as well, so maybe that will amount to something but I'm continuing to lose hope. Not sure what's going on with my application/status/package.

I also was told I would be contacted and wasn’t. My portal never updated and I didn’t hear much for 2 months. What I did to get it updated was go on the portal and press “Contact Us”. I spoke with them multiple times and finally they updated my account for me. When they didn’t answer my first email, I emailed again and when they didn’t answer my second, I emailed a third. I went until I got a response and it worked! Try it out. Thank you for this! I'll take your advice, I've been worried about being bothersome but man do I want a job!!

Haven't posted here before but I had my poly in the beginning of June and a portal date change a day or two after and have not heard anything since. What's weirder is that I did not apply for the collegiate hiring initiative in the first place lol. I applied under a regular job announcement for a job that does fall under the initiative announcement so I guess they lumped me in. I graduated college around 4 years ago so I technically wouldn't have been qualified for it, but I'm going with it!
Also, shortly after the poly I applied for SA since I do qualify for that. That's been moving fast and am doing the Phase 2 interview next! If I pass I hope the PSI and poly from the initiative carry over.

Thank you! When it appears, it will be between “view latest postings” and “my notifications”. At first, I didn’t even notice it. :)

I'm in a similar situation as well.

My BI started in 5/21 as well, and I haven’t heard anything since then. I contacted the HR specialist last month, and she said it should be finishing up soon. She doesn’t know a date though. I only have an update of 7/29/2021 on the Portal so far, but nothing else. I feel discouraged because I don’t understand why it’s taking so long when I only lived in 1 state and a clean record. Originally Posted by: MidWest_FBI  How long does it take to hear from Headquarters once BI is completed? The HCQ reached out to me with follow up : 3 weeks ago, still nothing. I reached my AOC, she mentioned nothing as of now( few days ago 10/12).
I am getting anxious and nervous now.
