In an effort to obtain information about the status in the application manager, I wrote the ALJ Team. I said that since I have given them all the necessary documents, and my AM still reads "see details", I must assume that there is something negative with my application. Therefore, as a 10 pt vet, I am inclined to take the examination over. Then I asked if my scores from this exam will be deleted upon my request to retake the exam or will they be deleted upon my actual submission of the first part of the examination. They responded as follows:
Dear Mr.,
As described in the Administrative Law Judge Job Opportunity Announcement, ALJ2013-847661, “If you are a 10-point veterans' preference eligible, you have the right to reopen the ALJ Job Opportunity Announcement at any time after it closes pursuant to 5 CFR 332.311, in order to participate in a quarterly examination. You have this right even if you have received a final numerical rating and your name has been placed on the register. You will, however, be bound by the result of retaking the examination. In other words, once you start retaking the examination, in order to receive a new final numerical rating and remain on the register, you must successfully complete all components of the examination. Your most recent rating will become your new rating of record, but this new rating can be higher than, the same as, or lower than the score you received previously, or it can be an ineligible rating.”
Sincerely, Administrative Law Judge Program Office

So my operating theory today is that the results will come out after 5:00pm EST on Friday. That gives OPM an extra 3 days on the appeals process. I have no other basis for that belief than the 3 extra days and the desires of government employees everywhere for just a few more days. Hmmmm. There is a three day weekend in February also. Under your theory, Let's hope the NORS are not our Valentine's Day present.

It reinforces the idea that there really is no point in asking them anything, because they won't answer the 2 questions we all have right now - what does SD vs. Complete mean and when is the NOR coming out???

" See Details Tab—indicates you should review the Details Tab for additional information about your application; such as questionnaire status, supporting documents submitted, and correspondence sent to you by the hiring agency." What correspondence would one get from the hiring agency? Wouldn't correspondence from an agency come well after the NOR?

The waiting is making me as nuts as anyone (see the Refresh thread), but can anyone remind us of what the time was between application and NOR last time? Thanks in advance.

So much for the Presidential mandate to speed up and streamline federal hiring.

So much for the Presidential mandate to speed up and streamline federal hiring. Which, as has been discussed, really wasn't a "mandate" in this case at all. Someone discussed last time around that the time from application to first hires was approximately the same as the human gestation period. I don't think we will get to elephant gestation here (24 months) but perhaps horse (11 months).

I heard today that the talk of transfers was stirred up again. This is a contact from an 3rd office that has heard the rumor. Of course, I am not privy to anything certain.
