2016 U.S. Marshals Service Announcement

[legionnaire13]

Does anyone know if we are still in consideration from the previous opening can we still apply to the current opening? Basically, I’m wondering if one application will affect the other? Thanks for the help.

[Meat0177]

It won't affect anything. Some stuff will actually transfer over.

[battlewagon]

There's an opening right now?

[legionnaire13]

My bad.......my post was meant for another board. Sorry

[USMC03xx]

Anyone know how to get in contact with someone who can give a status update (such as the adjudication). I’ve completed everything except the PFT. Just been waiting on a call since before the previous academy to go do the PFT (approximately 6 months). All I’ve ever received was I’m an active candidate still.

If you got the "Good news" email, your BI has been adjudicated. You won't get a call for a FIT unless you are next up for a specific location you selected.

[USMC03xx]

Here is an email I received today.

[USCG_ME1]

I received the same email. I am in the same position as you also. Completed everything awaiting the FIT. Haven't heard on my BI in awhile. Sent an email and just got the active applicant response also.

[usms-help1]

Who you got the Good News email ?? I didn’t ,I know few guys who did !!

[hangman]

So what happens if you didn't get the email and are in the USMS process? Is that not a good sign?

[usms-help1]

The Good thing would to be receive the email! The email tells u to get ready for a fit test! Yes I am in the process just waiting for the Fi test/good news email !!!

I believe there is another class starting in either June or July which was stated from earlier posts. So, hopefully if you didn’t get the call for the one in March you guys get the next one.

Finished my PT test the other day and everything is looking good. If you are in the same spot please send me a message. We have a group Google group chat for the April class! Good luck everyone.

[NWcountry31]

How soon after the medical did they schedule your PT test?

[Vox Populous]

Could be months. You won't get a FIT until they clear your BI.

[NWcountry31]

That's a good thing for me. Getting over lung inflammation. Thanks!

I was called today today and was offered the western district of Texas. Including Del Rio and Pecos Texas. I respectfully declined.

So does that mean you are "done"? Did they say they might call back later on and offer you another city?

[Meat0177]

He said I may get another offer. Didn't say for sure.

Most people who turned down initial calls for job offers in my USMS class got secondary calls. However, I would not read this and think you can strongarm your way to get a prime location. Know if you turn down a call, you may not get another. Or the second call may be for an equally 'undesirable' location that is now further away from home, higher COL, etc.

[Meat0177]

I never thought I was going to get a prime location, but I'm not going from one border ****hole to another, making 50g's less.

[hangman]

Someone was saying the USMS has hundreds of vacancies. So where are these vacancies? All on the southern border and the DC circuit court?

[battlewagon]

The recent graduates hiring announcement that opened today was for DC and Puerto Rico only, so that's a decent indicator.

[hangman]

I guess if I ever get a call from the USMS, I will probably be declining it....

Long time follower, first time poster. I don’t recall seeing many with my timeline, but wanted to post it for anyone who may still be in limbo after completing all but the fit.

Applied 2016 announcement
interviewed oct 2016 Atlanta GA
TO January 2017
medical completed February/March of 2017
backfround done March of 2017 and closed August 2017 from OPM
drug testing may of 2017
fit test not completed yet, nor any “good news” email.

Only correspondence from USMS is that I am an “active applicant” and they will contact me when they are ready.
