Is this our week Scobies? Is the transfer list almost finished being worked? Is the new FY going to be accompanied by the sound of our inbox getting email? I am not good at predictions, but I am thinking we are going to hear/see movement by the end of the week. From your mouth to Bob's ear.

I am not good at predictions, but I am thinking we are going to hear/see movement by the end of the week. I sure hope soon! I still have not heard any confirmation on exact dates for the interviewers for the next round. Once we have that intel, it should start rolling. I did not hear of any "new" transfers happening in the past few days. I think Wednesday was the last one I heard reported, but there may have been more. I am sure they will need time to look at what cities are left open after all the transfers shift around. I am thinking maybe 2nd week of October at the earliest. I hope I am wrong and it is sooner!

There were transfers last week. I did not expect emails last week because that would distract insiders on the cert who are writers from pumping out cases to meet the year-end goals. My observation is that everything stops if you get an email, while you start collecting references, doing paperwork, and making travel arrangements for the interview. Not smart to send those emails out during the last week of the fiscal year when it's all about making numbers!

October 1 sounds like a great date to issue the second cert and send emails. That's my guesstimate with fingers and toes crossed!

We need a little more than just speculation. However, I do hope it is sooner than later.

If there's a pool on what date second cert e-mails will come out, I'm taking October 16. Because:
a) I have a trial that day and these things always happen when I'm distracted; b) that date still leaves enough time for interviews in mid-late November as rumored; and c) When we were a few days before the first cert, lots of insiders posted with hearsay and gossip about it, and I'm not hearing much of that right now, so I think we're still a week or two away.

Ok, intel from a very reliable source. Certs have been requested but OPM has not responded yet. The OPM powers that be are apparently busy with the vets right now, as noted on another thread, some of the vets are progressing through the system. SSA is not pleased with the lag in time it is taking to get a response from OPM but is expecting the names any day. That is all I have, no other details at all.

Thanks for the good new. FWIW -- I join in expressing my "displeasure" with OPM over its time lag, but will promise to get over it if certs come pronto. That means ASAP.

Does "progressing through the system" mean there will be a new group of vets added to the Register in time to be considered for this cert?

Does "progressing through the system" mean there will be a new group of vets added to the Register in time to be considered for this cert? Well, looking back at Alexandersdad's post, he did not have a date for the next testing, just the congrats you get to move on email, and suspected the proctored testing portion would be Oct/Nov. I would think that OPM would continue to process the certs once they set up the dates for those continuing to test. I can't imagine OPM would hold up the certs that long! It took months to get the actual acknowledgement of being on the register, scores etc. after the DC testing dates. No doubt it will take less time since there will be a small group of vets (no clue on how small of a group), but still, I do not think they would hold up this ongoing cert process to add more names at this point. I think it is just a matter of having only so many staff to do all of these things.

I believe alexandersdad reported his WD/SI is scheduled for mid-October. I think they're getting all of that set up right now. I don't think they'll wait for the scoring of those tests before issuing cert two. I would assume any vets that applied and tested between March 2013 and June 30, 2014, have been incorporated in the register already.
