Received my email. One city out of my very limited 6 city GAL. Happy just to have made it this far. I am in the Aug/Sept group, an outsider and no vet preference. How long should we expect to wait before interviews are scheduled? Obviously pretty soon but might they call folks before paperwork is complete and submitted? Thanks folks, all of you have made this process much less stressful than it might have been. Good luck!!! Interviews may be scheduled (and held) before the paperwork is done

While I wish all of the best to those who are competing, my deepest wish is for Mr. Gaiden to secure the coveted ALJ position above all. My opinion is that he has been an outstanding board member, who has gone above and beyond anybody else in helping all of us. While he has not yet been picked up, he has continued to be positive and pleasant. I would take the point for you Gaidn so you could climb the hill. Rakkasan! High praise indeed. If we ever meet in the real world the first drink is on me.

I don't think that's right. I got 25 cities of about twice that on the list. OK, good to know, thanks for volunteering that. So it looks like there are still more candidates than can be reached for some cities. Presumably, ones that are warm weather and/or cosmopolitan and/or never been on a cert before for this register. I'm surprised, for example, that Ft. Lauderdale is on the list.

I was informed by a forum regular that several cities appeared on their list of certed cities that are not on their GAL. It is possible a few correction emails will be going out in the next few days.

So given time of day - I am not expecting to get an email until tomorrow (hopefully) seems this is a pretty hefty cert so can take some time. Chin up folks in same position.

I received my cert e-mail - three cities (which I dutifully reported to Gaidin via PM and which I see are already included on the list posted by our information superhero, G). I guess they are, indeed, including those of us with shiny new NORs this round. Yay, Pumpkin! So happy for you and all the recent testers that made it through! Good Luck!

My only concern is once Gaidin gets hired as an ALJ, who is going to run the polls, etc? He may say he wants to, but believe me, with a target of "processing" 50 cases a month there won't be time

Congratulations to all receiving cert emails! I have my fingers crossed that Gaidin and Gary, each of whom has continually participated and cheered everyone on throughout the (very) long process, find that this is "their" time. And for those who have small gals and one city on the cert email and haven't interviewed yet - don't panic if you start hearing about interviews and you don't get the call. That happened to me last year - only one city (of my tiny 7 city gal) on my cert email and as I watched the board and realized I wasn't getting interviewed with everyone, I called (squeaky wheel haha) to inquire why. I ended up being interviewed in January and was hired to start in March. It's all a matter of timing and stealing JudgeRatty's line "it's a great time to be on the register"! Good luck to all!

Interviews may be scheduled (and held) before the paperwork is done Does the fact that your name is on a cert mean that you will definitely be interviewed? Or is there still the possibility that SSA could look beyond just your GAL and NOR at your earlier paperwork, say, "eh" and eliminate you from consideration before an interview?

If we were in the July 2015 Cert will they call all the references again?
