I hate to say this, but does anyone else think Friday could be black Friday for those of us who have not rcvd any notice as of today I don't think so. Is there any reason you would be close? I'm guessing they're done on a rolling basis and will not be complete until the end of April, which is why those who have received the email can't start until then. Don't get discouraged about it until you get an NOR.

I'm not sure I understand the amount of anxiety over the first stage of the application. Either you have the requisite experience, or you don't. As long as you didn't make an error submitting the application online, you should get the email at some point.
Am I missing something?

Does anyone else want to go to Happy Hour? It's not that I have happy news, I have no news but I think it's time for me to step away from any place where I can check my application status.

The old vacancy announcement seemed to be pretty straightforward and then there was a lot of surprise seeing who made the first cut & who didn't. This vacancy announcement seems to be more clear but only time will tell.

Agnes - You crack me up. It'll come, don't worry so much. Tomorrow night is the night for happy hours, not tonight.

Agree with aljfaq, it is the error part that I am worried about because I definitely meet the criteria. The horror stories on this board have made me paranoid. And by the way, thanks aljfaq for posting the full email!!

Yes, thanks aljfaq. Very nice of you to post the content your email. Interesting reading for those of us who wait.
Just from an OPM-workload perspective, it makes sense that they would roll these out on an as-cleared basis, rather than all at once. So, those of us who haven't received emails yet shouldn't interpret it as bad news. Ours will come soon enough.

I know I'm being paranoid BUT - can I ask "who" was the sender of the email you received? I'd like to run a search on my email...
I'm worried because although I stated that I have 22 years of experience as a litigator, and described my time at DA's office and as a prosecutor for state health department (medical misconduct - negligence/fraud, etc) , I didn't specify the number of years at each since I knew that was included in my attached resume. Now I'm worried I should have included that ...
I'm on the current cert and my fingers are crossed for that too!

I think some on the board are getting a bit nervous for no reason. The fact that you (and I) have not received an e-mail inviting us to the next stage is not an indication that you have been rejected. Log on to Application Manager and you will see that your status still says "Pending HR Specialist Action."
Several thousand of us applied. The applications are not machine scored. A finite number of real people are reading the applications, one at a time, and making decisions, so the process is going to take some time. They'll send you a notice whether you advance or not, so the fact you haven't heard anything is not cause for concern.

I also have my settings on usajobs to email me anytime there is a change to my status so hopefully between that and checking my status I will know one way or the other in the event the mass email gets routed to spam.

As one of the crew in the "not received the email" group - I wondered if the randomness could be tied to geography. Everyone in my area (KS and MO) that I have talked to have yet to receive the invitation to step 2. I wonder if they split the applications up by State or region to check for bar status and that is the reason for the difference in roll out? Just a thought. Keeping my fingers crossed for an email.
