Love the discussion...you all certainly have the right to believe what you want about the process, reason for delay, and veracity of rumors...hold on to what you want...I could not have a better source other than someone being on the ALJ team at OPM. Just prepare yourselves if SSA and OPM decide to use the old register for a small hiring this year to protect the budget while OPM tries to straigten out their mess! (This is now a huge possibility) The truth is stranger than fiction! Well played, Sir, well played.

Dark Lord of the Sith: Please explain yourself. Some of the things you said didn't pan out. I'm not calling you out, as much as I am just curious, as you said it with such conviction. Did your source not pan out, or were they overruled by higher authority, or were you internet trolling, or what? Maybe you just got trapped. Are all of his posts now GONE? Is his profile also gone? LOL! No, he is still here. Just not online I guess. But he is not listed as a member any longer? Very strange. Strange how people just vanish and then some become anti-members. EDIT: I was looking for the name we see "Dark Lord of the Sith" but he is still listed as a different user name. So no disappearing act like others have done.

He's still listed as a member. Lots of people have something different in that second "username" box.

I, too, wonder where Dark Lord ot the Sith has gone. I have mostly lurked (although I have a few posts and have participated in the polls) learning from the excellent information on this board (as an outsider and a first time applicant). I read the dismay and borderline panic created by his post about problems with WD tests and just wonder if it was an elaborate hoax or if DLOTS was the victim of a hoax. I'm just very glad that this part of the process (getting NORs) is done and very sorry for the many outstanding people who have been active on this board who did not receive a NOR, whatever the reason.

I wouldn't be so hard on DLOTS as he could have been trolled himself by a "supposed" friend. Hence, I rarely take those types of statements by Board members as Gospel. Usually it is just another rumor, which is what DLOTS evidently passed on to us.

I just want to clarify - I didn't mean to appear hard on DLOTS - if that's how my post came across. It's really more curiosity on my part. Apologies if the post read otherwise.

Not popular with the masses on this board but my guess is spring 2014, a few weeks (or less) before SSA is ready to conduct interviews i anticipation of hiring.

Just got back from my cruise and have my NOR like i said the rumors were utter nonsense. Ssaogc and bartleby were on the money with predictions. My only problem now is that i have to write to opm to tell them i am not available because i am headed to Afghanistan next month for a six month stint.
