That sounds like . . . something. When did you submit? 8 April, the last day. No changes as of a minute ago. I just noticed I fat fingered the dates with my military service which could cut against me in respect to the 7 years, so this may not be positive news (thankfully I have the 10 point vet card to restart everything, but still, how dumb can I be to miss the typo?). I'll keep y'all posted if/when anything changes. Keep the faith! Until you get the FOAD letter (defined elsewhere on the board  ) you are not out! And with the vet status yes you can regroup and attack again if needed! |

I seldom pay much attention to this thread as not much of substance is said here, but your post is substantive and is not something I would want to hear. Pix. |

That sounds like . . . something. When did you submit? 8 April, the last day.  No changes as of a minute ago.  I just noticed I fat fingered the dates with my military service which could cut against me in respect to the 7 years, so this may not be positive news (thankfully I have the 10 point vet card to restart everything, but still, how dumb can I be to miss the typo?). I'll keep y'all posted if/when anything changes. This is the post that is significant. It is possible that even though he has the experience, Burt's error with the dates of his military service could result in the reviewer of his application determining that his application does not show that he has the requisite 7 years of experience. If that were to occur, Burt would not be moving on to the online testing. (Burt's status as a veteran would permit him to start over more or less right away, but he would then be farther back at the start than he would prefer to be.) What we've otherwise heard so far is about status changes that have and mostly have not yet occurred in Application Manager. What these mean at this point is mostly guess work. |

Keep thinking positive thoughts. lolololololololololololololololol - no. At least he gets to reapply right away if he gets cut now, and didn't go through the whole process only for OPM to determine he doesn't have a law license. |

Burt Macklin made a typo on his application that screwed up his dates of service that will affect his seven years as an attorney. I understand that it might effect his 7 years, possibly to his detriment. I don't see how that makes his AM status significant at this point. I guess mainly because he is not the only one reporting that status change. |

I guess mainly because he is not the only one reporting that status change. It probably does not mean anything- but,-BUT!- in the obsessive mind of the ALJ applicant that looks for meaning in any move OPM makes (i.e. all of us on this thread) one could conjecture that those who have not had their status changed already made some error or otherwise failed to show the 7 years.

All this activity made me log in and check my application status. It remains unchanged.

I understand that it might effect his 7 years, possibly to his detriment. I don't see how that makes his AM status significant at this point. I guess mainly because he is not the only one reporting that status change. It doesn't make his AM status significant; in fact, other than his unfortunate post, nothing in this thread is significant. I started this thread so people would have a place to obsess over AM and to keep the posts out of other threads. So far, the posts have been exactly as I thought they would be-of no substance. And by limiting posts about AM to this thread, it has kept other threads from veering into the vast emptiness of speculation that is AM. If one were to go back and look at the last 4 or 5 pages of topics, the vast majority of threads I have locked have been about Application Manager. It just goes on and on without end. But please don't let me dissuade anyone from posting here. As long as the thread is kept active, there is reduced likelihood of a new member posting questions about AM in an unrelated thread. Please post away and help me maintain my equilibrium. Pixie. |

Oh, I feel so naive and now my ignorance is shamed.  A typo here, a typo there. I thought there was a backlog and a real need to hire talent. Well sorta. SSA has the backlog and a very real need to hire talent. OPM is the agency that has to process these applications. The more it can dispatch on the front end, the fewer it has to process and grade, which is a huge undertaking. So, the more applications a GS 6 clerk can eliminate for any reason on the front end, the fewer that have to be fully processed on the back end. Thus the mandate to the initial reviewers to whack the technically insufficient applications. Pixie. |

Soon Grasshopper if you pass all the tests and achieve the second stage of enlightenment that is actually being on the register then little things like OPM's maneuvers will be but dross to you. Then in the second stage of enlightenment you will obsess over the moves of ODAR as you attempt to pull the pebble from its hand. |

To carry my analogy further the OPM part of the process is like learning to walk across rice paper and getting an NOR is when the young monk must carry the cauldron of hot coals with his forearms. So you guys have that to look forward to.
