That’s encouraging given that I had my poly roughly 1-2 months after you and am following roughly a similar timeline. Hopefully that means my green check l mark in less than 2 months away! Feel free to pm the answer to this if it makes you more comfortable, but did you have a lot of foreign travel/contacts, lots of jobs, or anything else that might have extended the BI? I would be curious to this as well.

I would be curious to this as well. Yes, I had a lot of foreign travel and a few foreign contacts. I have a military background so the travel and contacts were in connection to service overseas and I never went to countries like China or Russia. Since I was military I didn't have a lot of jobs but the people that I put down as knowing me live all over the place and not necessarily where I knew them. I hope this helps, if there are more in-depth questions please feel free to PM me. Edited by user Thursday, January 13, 2022 6:13:38 AM(UTC)

If I am not put on the February roster I will have to take the PFT again, at least it will be sometime in the Spring. Again, congrats.

Some people don't find out until 2 weeks before class date. I have heard before that they were going to tier applicants based on their background. I’m not sure if they started that yet.

Can you explain the tier system? I haven't heard anything like that before and I am not sure what you mean.
