HSI 1811 (August/September 2015 Announcement)

[Muzzle_Flash]

I also received this email shortly after receiving the one stop email.

"The purpose of this email is to notify you that there was a system issue affecting a small number of candidates completing the writing sample assessment for ICE Entry-Level Criminal Investigator between 4/10/16 and 4/13/16. We are currently investigating the impact of the issue. The ICE Criminal Investigator tests are graded in two stages. First, the Multiple Choice Assessment is graded. Only candidates who pass the Multiple Choice Assessment have their Writing Sample scored. If you pass the Multiple Choice Assessment and the outcome of your writing sample was affected by the system issue, you will be offered the opportunity to re-take the writing sample assessment at a later point in time."

So hopefully the process is not delayed too much longer. I'm over the wait game.

I hope those are the dates around when you tested and not a "system issue" itself...

Maybe a grading result issue as well??

I got email saying i didn't pass exam

Did you get a survey?

[PDApril2011]

whats the survey? I only got one email saying that I didn't pass the multiple choice section.

I received the same email about the grading issues with the written portion of the exam and the email states that I would have to redo that portion. That was the part I hated! It seems like if you passed the multiple choice and there was an error in the grading of the written you get the chance to redo the written.

In addition, I received the survey asking what locations I would like to do the one stop. I chose Phily and Vegas but received an email stating that Phily and New York should not have been on the survey. Hopefully this will move the process along. We had an expedited couple days just like that with the Service and it cut the hiring process down by about 7 months.

Just as a side note, does anyone know if ICE pays LEAP pay while you're in the academy?

[Ranger175]

Yes, you receive LEAP at the academy.

For former feds....If you qualified for GS-9 with this announcement and are a former 1811 (GS-12) do you start at a stepped out GS-9?

GS-9 00 or something like that, until your grade catches up. Real fun for 12's that got in as 7's.

9 step 10 is the highest you will get, unless you get hired off a GS-12 announcement. Step 00 no longer exists.

How is it that you receive leap in the academy if they pay out leap based on extra work performed...is the academy more than 40 hours a week?

I go to the CITP in July but I have been told by HSI SA that you receive LEAP in during CITP and HSISAT. Other agencies pay LEAP at the CITP as well. Maybe because you work longer then 8 hours when you include studying.

I hope one day the stories of the step 00 die. I am so sick of reading about this even though it has been dead for over 6 years, since the end of the FCIP program.

Your info should still be saved in the online system for that aspect. As far as using the interviews and such, only if it is adjudicated and active.
