Today's amusement: checking the App Manager to see if there's anything new. I have my new GAL under my old.
Maybe to aleviate our boredom and give us something else to fixate upon as we wait for the next batch of certs, Gaiden should do a poll....

Mine had the new locations on top and the old ones on the bottom. I'm surprised at the lack of uniformity. New ones at the top and old ones at the bottom here, as well. I tested 2013, received my NOR in 2014 and just recently expanded my GAL; my old cities (which I re-chose) are at the top of my new list with all my new cities following below.

I tested October and my GAL changes are there. No tellin why I tested in late October and my GAL changes are there as well. Don't know why some are seeing the changes in our group and others are not. Perhaps they are still in the process of updating the GALs. Today was the first day I noticed the change due exclusively to this forum. I hadn't thought about checking it before, so I can't say how long the updates have been there. In any event, I hope its a good sign.

Perhaps it's simply a matter of the updates being made in the order the GAL-change responses were received by OPM. As for the new GAL locations appearing below or above the old ones on the list? That's merely to confuse us. I fully expect someone to report soon that his/her old GAL cities are in the middle!

Perhaps, I made my changes on the same day we received the first reminder.

I made mine quite early so I doubt that's what is happening.

As a government employee I would hazard to guess that the GAL expansion is put in randomly with preference maybe being those received earlier are entered earlier. I entered mine in December and tested in december and no change in application status has occurred

I never thought about the 61 cities as being all cities where all agencies have ALJ's, not just ODAR offices. Can anyone confirm that? Is there a list of just ODAR cities anywhere you can think of?

Google "list of ODAR hearing offices" and 168 offices are identified by region.. that's kind ofthe way my daughter tries to do all her research except she uses SIRI.

If you click on the box "View/Print My Answers" you can see your list. It is the button on the right. Thanks, Raylan. I had actually done this before but only my original miniature GAL was showing. Now my expanded GAL is there. So those of you who are not seeing your modifications, take heart. OPM may just be updating one at a time.

I wish I could offer some info on this but while I answered the survey I didn't add or delete any cities so I'm not seeing (nor did I expect to see) any changes in App Manager. Everything else is still looking the same from when I received the thanks, no thanks response. Only difference is that they uploaded the "wait maybe we will give you a 2nd chance" notice into my messages section.

Gaidin, my USAjobs Application Status page shows this for the ALJ position. I thinks this is a glitch affecting a few of us...
Status: Application Status Not Available

I don't know whether I'm glad that I can't check or not....

Keep in mind that you may be trying to access information that is in the midst of being updated. As you should all know, these inputs do not happen all at the same time. They have to be entered person by person. Just because the original poster checked when they did does not mean that all inputs have been made. This is a fluid ongoing process.

I agree and I would add that no one from the Oct-Dec testing group has said that they also see a change to "Complete" in app manager. But I have to wonder why no one from the group who already received NORs has chimed in and shared that (s)he is still awaiting/expecting a change in their GALs? It appears from the posts that the NOR in-hand group is confirming updated GALs (with the exception that there are those who can't access app manager). Perhaps, I missed a post, but the fluidity and data entry issues should apply to everyone's applications and I haven't seen that expressed yet.

I tested in November and my GAL updated sometime after 1:00 today.
My updated GAL is the only one that is displayed. My old GAL is no longer present.

In your updated GAL, are the locations from your original GAL the first locations listed? The last locations listed? Or are they scattered throughout your updated GAL?

My old locations have been removed. I had an unlimited GAL and removed a few offices. None of the locations I removed are now present.
