No check mark over Selection Decision, still.... Dallas FO

Wait what? So you got the COE call for Dallas FO, but your dashboard still has a blue star over selection decision?

Got my EQIP email today, Chicago FO. Look forward to getting this done tonight!

Hey Guys,
New to the Forum. I'm currently in the process for FAM as well, or so I thought. I received my background packet on 03/06. Submitted all my paperwork the next day, 03/07. I checked my Dashboard just now and I still have a star above the Pre-appointment Background Check. But just above it it says

Application Status:

Not Qualified.

Before it said Application In Progress.
Does this mean I had an unfavorable background investigation? Did they not get my paperwork in the 21 days even though I submitted all of my packet the next day?
I just got my Secret Clearance last year December 18th. I thought getting a Top Secret would be easy since I had SC. Can someone shed some light on this?

Not sure. Would be worth it to call HR. Did you also submit the other documents as part of the sf86?

I just got off the phone from talking to the HR HelpDesk. The Rep had np answers for me. She notated my account and transferred my questions to a Tier 2 Specialist. She said she couldn't see everything on my application. That would suck if I'm out for something that is out of my hands.

Congrats on getting the EQIP email for Chicago FO rms0012. That's where I hoped I would start working soon.

Did you attach the 4 other documents with your sf86?

What are that extra documents? I just want to keep a look out for If and when I get to submit the sf86

I did. I also got an email from someone in charge of my investigation where she requested the documents as an attachment. I sent those the following day after I submitted my SF86.

The extra documents are TSA Form 2811, 2812 and OF306

[RustyJames]

Did you send them to the person who emailed you? My instructions were to attach them to my sf86. I was also suppose to attach an updated resume.

I did the same as well! Just submitted my 86 a minute ago.

These were the instructions that I got:

"Please note that all four (4) required e-QIP signature pages may be digitally signed in e-QIP.
In addition to the required e-QIP documents, you also MUST hand-sign and attach the following documents to your e-QIP submission"

They should've uploaded via e-QIP. Did your handler specifically say to send them via email? It's possible that that misunderstanding disqualified you, if you believe everything else is in order. While you wait for the specialist, I'd reach out to your handler to clarify.

Random, has anybody received a green check over Background check?

[JCHI832017]

Yeah i received the same instructions but she was having trouble downloading them. This is what she said,

Thank you for submitting your eQIP and attaching the supplemental forms as directed. For some reason I cannot download the supplemental forms. Can you please email/fax them to me?

Thank you,
