HSI 1811 (August/September 2015 Announcement)

[nolo]

So, I had called the Dallas processing center a few weeks ago to ask about reusing test and board scores... finally got a call back this afternoon. The lady there said that test scores and board scores could not be reused... but she seemed both annoyed AND confused about what job we were talking about. She asked if this was the "Laguna announcement" and I had no idea.

What is the Laguna announcement? Any thoughts?

If you look at the Job Announcement Number for the last announcement:

DAL-INV-1466102-DEU-TY

The first three characters suggest it is a Dallas announcement. The second three mean Investigations, or specifically HSI. The DEU means Delegated Examining Unit, basically that it is an open public announcement. I am not sure what the TY means.

Compare that to this:

LAG-FSP-1361091-SD-754

That is the announcement number for an ERO lateral position.

Thanks for the info... that makes WAY more sense.

I got an email informing me that my test score from 2011/2012 would be reused. I've also been told my interview score would still be valid as well.

You got an email about the 9/15 announcement?

I was inquiring about test and board scores from 2009 and 2010... not sure how long they last. From the message board intel, it sounds like board scores are indefinite but test scores only last as long as there are no major changes to the test. I'm not sure if they made any major changes since 2009.

But I am getting ahead of myself here, lets see if I make it past initial screening on this announcement... then I will do more digging.

Does anyone have inside news as to when phone calls are going to be made, for those advancing to the next step?

Has anyone called the POC for the announcement, Ms. Young, for a timeline? I tried a few times and she did not answer.
