When I was in psych I checked in with them every 2 weeks. I think that may have helped me. I was in psych for a month and a half. This. I checked in at least once per month.

Have you heard about what life would be like after Q and continuing school? I only have a year left of my JD, so it's likely that I will be finished by the time I receive an offer. Though, I completed my MA while a Deputy and that took a bit of juggling. |

I applied last week and just passed my phase 1 assessment today. How long does it normally take to schedule the meet and greet? Anyone else in a similar part in the process? |

Varies a bit because I think they try to group the M&G with people who passed recently at the FO. I think I heard back about the M&G within about a week and a half or so, but I'm sure it varies. Don't worry, I'm sure you'll hear back soon. That’s good to know! Thank you! Just trying to get an idea of the different time lines and experiences. |

Just my two cents, my M&G was scheduled maybe a week after P1 and was a virtual affair due to COVID. Your field office may vary and make it in person, not sure.

If I remember right I took phase one near the end of February and waited about 2 weeks to hear back to schedule a virtual M&G for the following week with the one-on-one the next day after that. Congrats on passing phase one.

I got my FJO on 1/24- looking forward to seeing everyone who’s in the February class and good luck to everyone still in the pipeline.
Different topic- I’ve got a friend who is coming off active duty soon as an humint collector. She’s looking at the FBI but wants to keep doing humint. Is there something she can apply to where she’d land directly in some type of humint job?

I believe there may be an IA thread that might have more info. |
