well.. i guess they're making calls today, but not clearing BIs and quals..

I hear you DLA, I've been going through this process for 1 year and 1 month now, and my quals still haven't cleared....That’s all I need to get to TSU, and wait another 6 months

[audi0xpl0de]

Yeah, I was just about to complain about how long qualifications takes, but I called the hotline and mine cleared today. Now just waiting on the background.

Let me know if you met your BI 6 months ago or more, and you haven't heard anything from IA.

[co94]

Considering I'm near first in line and just got laid off yesterday you just cranked my stomach into ulcer mode until I hear somthing.

Hah if they called today I'd actually make money off unemployment insurance, how screwed up is that?

Man I need that call.

Hound,
I saw that on that other forum. Good Luck to us all. That would be "almost" perfect timing for you. If that call comes within the next week you really couldn't ask for much more. Keep the faith!

Congrats!!!!

Audi0xpl0de, How long did you quals take to clear?

[FreeAgent]

Can someone tell me what the policy is for Tattoos? I have traditional japanese sleeves on both arms, I would consider it nice art work. But I'm sure we still live in times where people look down upon you. I can't find anything where it says that you can not have them.

I'm the same boat as you....ughhh...

Audi0xpl0de, How long did you quals take to clear?

About 5 months, it was based off education for GS-7.

If your BI cleared in December 08' and your Quals haven't by now, you need to get in touch with MHC and see why they haven't cleared. Sometimes they loose paperwork and might be your case, usually if your Quals haven't cleared, they clear right along with your BI, if not a week or two after it. Call MHC dude... I have read of people here having to re-send paperwork...

Quals usually clear last, especially if you're trying to qualify as a GS-07.

One thing the BI does is establish your work qualifications.
Also, many people apply as a GS-07 based on educational degrees pending in the near future. Quals wait till the end so those people can submit final transcripts and the like.

Quals also are usually done in batches, much like 'the call'. You'll probably see a bunch of people qualifying on the same day too.
