Do any of the emails received state any start dates other than January so far?

No new notices for a bit. Lunch break?

Sratty - mine says "late January" seems to line up with the January 26 that we have multiple confirmations of - both because it passes the eyeball test and early offers/acceptances already have that date locked in.

Got mine, I have 13 of the 27 cities posted on the large list. All the other cities on the large list I had declined at the OPM or SSA level. Score on the lower end of the 74 group. Hope that helps.

The spot in Orlando FL wasn't grabbed by a sitting ALJ via transfer??? Amazing.

Sorry if I'm misunderstanding ... Are you saying that 13 of the 27 cities remain on your GAL after previous declinations, and you made the cert for all 13? If so, congrats.

Correct. The e-mail does not contain any reference to my GAL. I don't know if not having my cities listed in the e-mail is a good thing or a bad thing. I am just happy to have been invited to interview. Thanks for the good wishes. This Board is awesome!!! The email with the list of geographic matches includes the documentation you need to complete and submit by November 10th. Not getting it could be a bad thing. Hopefully it is coming soon.

The cert process is still more than a little mystifying. My understanding is that at least 1 of the listed cities will have it's vacancy filled by a transfer.

Are you certain the city has only 1 vacancy?

I hope so!! Another poster implied that not receiving a specific e-mail about which cities I am eligible for is a bad sign. As if I could be anymore uptight!!

I would venture to say a lot of the cities listed on this cert probably have only one opening. Some may have two, but not any more beyond that in terms of hiring. Also, although, 27 cities are listed it doesn't mean all will be hired, as transfers will continue until the next hire date. Lastly, due to the fact there are a lot of new cities on this cert, the cut-off score will be pretty close to the same as last time in the mid-73s because of new higher scores making this new set of certs. We are talking about a smaller cert with less hires this time than the first cert. Hopefully, the next cert will be a larger cert again like the first one.

I received my email! I'm on the cert for Orland Park (the only one of my GAL cities that appears to be on this set of certs).

Same, for me, I listed 27 earlier, but I neglected to list Hartford - so 28 for me also.
