Hey Ladies and Gents,
Just starting this journey by passing my Phase I Test today. I am no stranger to the Good 'Ol Fashioned Government motto of "Hurry Up and Wait", so I know i am in for the long haul.
I did have a question, as I have heard conflicting information. Currently, I have a TS Clearance, as I am employed with a different DOJ agency. Will FBI transfer this over, or do they complete a whole new background on their own?
any info is appreciated!

All good to know. So does that mean that now that you've taken the P2 written, you are just waiting for someone to reach out to schedule the P2 interview (however long that may take...)? If so, I wonder what kind of lead time they'll give you for the interview... Well I took the written part on April 12 and my AC JUST emailed me yesterday stating that the dates were in the portal. It has a variety of dates to chose from so you can pick which one is best for you. Mine isn't until July, there were earlier dates but I pushed it out for personal reasons.

I don't know that everyone gets a ranking email anymore. You've been rated competitive if you are invited to Phase 2. I didn't get one this time around... It seemed the determination was made by my local field office rather than HQ. In the past HQ sends an email stating you are either competitive or non-competitive after the meet & greet and then you would be referred to phase 2 or locked out from applying for a year.

But whatever, submitted my personal statement and hopefully that's it... let's see if psych will require anything.. BLAH Looking back on your experience with medical, do you wish you'd done anything differently to expedite it a bit? E.g. gotten certain shots ahead of time, brought certain documentation you didn't expect to need, etc.? I don't think there was anything else I could have possibly taken or done ahead of time. Maybe a note from my doctor stating I have no issues with my shoulder... That is what they kicked back on, but it was outside the 5 year mark they ask for? They wrote me saying that it was done in 2017 when my submissions clearly state it was 2012. Other than that I took everything possible - recent eye exam (I don't wear contacts or glasses), letters from my docs regarding counseling, letter regarding BP (white coat syndrome w/o hypertension), letter regarding medical condition that requires daily meds. My current PCP updated all my vaccinations several months ago and combined all my records into hers, but I still took all the original vaccination records so that they could clearly see who actually did them and when. She did a titer for chickenpox too. I did a blood test for TB and submitted that along with everything else due to having taken the COVID vaccine to recently. You aren't going to expedite anything really. It will take 2 weeks for them to review and do a kickback for personal statements or a doc follow-up. You have 30 days to submit, but usually can complete in a couple hours or days. After that you'll be cleared medical, and either referred or not referred to psych. I'm still waiting to see if they kick me over there given what I've already given them... WRT titer test which I took on your Advice and now have the results.. now I need to submit the results along with Covid shots and vaccines shots to FBI medical via email? Or did you physically give to your AC to give to medical to be scanned and email. Also, it sounds like you never needed to go back to the medical clinic and that all requests for more information were sent via email? Am I correct? Have you had your FBI medical appointment yet?

P.S. Stormy Weather, your mailbox is full! Congratulations! I wonder if we will be getting our final offer letters around the same time even if we're in different classes. It won't feel real to me until I receive it haha Just cleared my inbox, thanks for letting me know. |
