Internal Revenue Service

FJO was in my spam folder this morning. 12/6 start.

Congrats! How long from when you completed the onboarding to FO happen? I got my TO and the onboarding was dude yesterday my affidavit has an appointment date of 11/22. Mine job is for IT/2200 but I its a similar hiring process.

Just go to your onboarding portal via USA Jobs.

If you're not showing anything pending, you didn't get it yet.

Anyone hired for NY PODs looking to job swap to PA please inbox me. Currently I’m a GS11 RO but willing to wait until eligible new hire is able to swap. My current POD is in PA but with NY locality pay 💰.

I’m right there with you. It’s been 2 months since fingerprints were sent in. the first wave seemed to fly by effortlessly - this wave I feel like a lot of us are waiting longer.

So I emailed my HR rep for an update with my FO status and she replied, "still awaiting on the preliminary background investigation." so, I guess that is what holding most of us from receiving our FO. And I asked about the start date of 12/06 and she stated, "nothing has changed as of yet." - I am just sharing my response update.

I’m in the Same boat as Quicksilver and MJE. I had my interview 8/17, TO came 9/1, Fingerprinting was completed 9/9. We still have not received our FO but we have a EOD of 12/6 based on our TO. All of our HR contacts have responded with a version of “waiting for results of background check”.

Yea mine said projected EOD date 12/6. I will be transferring agencies, I don’t want to leave in bad terms because of short notice. I haven’t mention anything to anyone only because the job offer is not Guaranteed. And like MJE said, thanksgiving is around the corner and a lot of people take that week off. So this month is going to be short. My HR rep said my 12/6 date hasnt change. I feel bad for those that have to move across state with such short notice. I understand it’s not HR fault, I just hope they can give us an option to move our start date.

Interesting, mine didn't give a date at all. Just a time frame.

Hello! It sounds like I am in the same position as a lot of you. 9/21 Interview, 10/13 TO, 10/14 Fingerprints, and now still waiting for the FO. I have to give a month notice at my current job and the hiring manager gave the December 6th start date. It is difficult to stay patient since I want to give a proper notice. I talked to the HR person that set up my interview today and it sounds like the HR team on the hiring side of things are off today. It also says on USA jobs "You've been hired." Hopefully Monday we will hear something? I wonder if they will allow us to push our start date at all?
