It can take awhile for an investigator to contact you. Mine was pending in September of one year and I wasn’t contacted until November. Also, it depends if you already have a current clearance. I believe some who currently do were never contacted but don’t hold me to that one lol.

Awesome!

Good Afternoon,

I hope y'all are doing good! This is my first post. I got a tip from a friend this forum was here, and they recommended I check it out to see how everyone else is faring during their "wait". LOL I applied under the August 2018 announcement. I had my in-person interview (regarding my E-qip) with an investigator 2 days before the government went into shutdown mode for COVID. That was March 11th, 2020.

So here I sit and wait. It's encouraging to know I'm not the only one still waiting.

I received an interview invite today. Panel interviews are going to be held in the next two weeks, per HQ apparently. I applied in the summer of 2020 and did the proctored exam in August. I'm a little unsure of what do though -- I've since started a different 6c-covered job. It's not as investigation or enforcement based as I would like though, so I'm still really interested in the diversion investigator position. I just don't want to be disloyal to my current agency.

Looks like a new posting for DI went up.

An email went out stating that from this listing forward, the polygraph will be required. I would doubt anyone in the process will have to take it based on that statement. And its not in previous listings.

Hey all this is super tentative so please don’t bombard HR with questions lol but I spoke with them and next class is tentatively set for July 18th. Again, this is very subject to change at the moment, but hopefully that means we will be seeing preference sheets in the next few months. Again, they said that’s the date they are looking at but nothing set in stone yet.

Haven't checked in on here in a while. Last I heard anything was MONTHS ago with a new preference sheet being to me. This was back in October or November last year if I recall correctly. Been stagnant since. Hopefully something gets traction soon. Just read luckydevil's reply about possible summer class coming up...fingers crossed

I wouldn't worry about being disloyal. Can't tell you how many times I've seen people bounce from position to position to position within a 6 month period. People are looking out for themselves and what is best for them. About a year after I filed for this position, I finally let my manager know what was going with this position and that they would probably be calling him, so he knows. He wasn't fazed. He knows this is how it goes sometimes. I know there might be an opportunity come up where I am to move up, and I've thought about whether it would be right to apply for it. I'm torn, but I don't worry about it too much b/c those opportunities have not come up yet. If they do, well, I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. I've also got apps out at other agencies right now, so I mean, again-I'm trying to do what is best for me and my future. That's just my approach.

Thank you so much! May I ask you one more thing? Sorry, I know my HR person is slammed, and while she is extremely nice, I don't wanna press. LOL I tried to get some clarification from her on how the Preference Sheet work and what it was all about. She said-if I understood her correctly-that THEY would list some offices/cities and states where they had availabilities, and I would choose my top 3 and return it. Now, from what I've read here, it's kind of the opposite. I list my top 3 (or more, from what I've seen here) places and then they see if they have a spot available in one of those areas that I provide and if they have an opening, then off to class I would go. If not, well, I continue to wait.
