Has ANYBODY that reads this forum been called after adjudication? I’ve been through almost every page of this thread and I can’t recall seeing anybody post about completing it. Also, why is it that mostly veterans are placed into this “adjudicative review process”? Does anyone have a POC at HQ or any insight?

[Striker44]

Ditto..........

[triniboy05]

Adjudication simply means they’re reviewing everything to make the final decision. Everyone who has been hired has gone through adjudication, some are just quicker than others.

[DC_Vulcan]

Adjudication, aka fell through the cracks. I've been in it for 7 months now, and in whole process for 1 year 3 months. I've called every couple months, always to get the same answer. This time I sweet talked my way to the lady looking more closely at my file, and apparently there are a 2 sections that something is not right with, so basically I'm stuck in limbo and cannot proceed until its fixed. She [said she] sent an email to someone about it, so hopefully I will hear something soon. It's a shame this is happening to so many of us. I've spent around a $1000 on this process from costs and missed work, and tons of stress etc. It'll all be worth it if I get it of course, but useless if I "Fall through the cracks" and get forgotten
My advice is call and use some charismatic persuasion, aka verbal judo, to get someone to look more closely.

Decided to call and check the status. Not sure if I got the standard answer but she advised me I should hear something in 1 to 2 weeks.

[Striker44]

That’s good news! Something to look forward to. What was the last step you completed?

[HeavyCargo]

Been waiting for “the call” since March 2018 . Last time i checked I was on medical review but haven’t heard anything about a follow up since

[DC_Vulcan]

HeavyCargo Bruh, that's unbelievable.

[Radio Raheem]

HeavyCargo That's what happened to me 4 years ago.

[nonotnow]

Due to a medical emergency, I had to no-show on my SAEE. I have to wait 6 months to reapply correct?

[Lone-ranger]

Not necessarily. If you let your contact know beforehand then they can keep you in the process without reapplying. I had a conflict when my SAEE was offered so they kept me active and invited me to ELAC (entry level assessment center), which is an all day accelerated hiring process

[nonotnow]

Thanks for that info. Unfortunately I didn't really have a contact and it happened so last minute I didn't contact them. I saw if I gave the testing center 24 hours I could have rescheduled. Oh well, maybe next time.

[Lone-ranger]

Your contact would be a representative from the field office. Each office has their phone number listed on the USSS website so for future reference, call and ask to speak to the recruiter. They’re actually pretty friendly in most cases. I would try that now but I’m not sure how much time has passed in your situation.

[nonotnow]

Thanks for that info, late reply but yeah they sent me an email saying thanks for the no show and wait 6 months. Eh, not too mad about it. Processing with other agencies anyway.

[Lovetocamp]

Anyone else apply to the announcement back in 12/18? SA-JS003-19

Anyone hear anything? My application just says "you will be notified via email". I haven't gotten anything except for one email back in 12/17/18 that it was under review.

[2019_Applicant]

[deadthrone7]

I also applied at that time. I’m scheduled for polygraph next week - I would definitely follow up.

[Lovetocamp]

Does anyone have the e-mail to contact them? or is it that SAsupport email address?

[deadthrone7]

I used the SAsupport email address when I had an issue, they never responded but the issue was resolved.

[Kels]

Has anyone in the process deal with vision issue. Meaning, if one's vision is less than 20/20 and the lasik procedure is done, are they dropped from the process or is the processed continued and the vision is retested?

[deadthrone7]

Had the drug screen yesterday. No medical yet, poly on Tuesday. Feels like things are picking up but yeah, long ways to go. Who knows though? Guy on the previous page got through background in 1 month.

[deadthrone7]

Hope so, my Factor V was pretty straight forward, hope that helps things move quickly.

Good luck on the SUPER

[Nedpepper2]

Hello,

I am trying to get some more info on the PT test. I understand each event is assigned a point value. I also know you cant get a 0 in any event. My question is how many points do you need total to pass?

Also, I did my SUPER on 4/8/19, generally how long until you hear something?

Thanks

[user2]

Youd be given a baseline test at orientation. At FLETC you need a 7 with only one 0. Once you make it to RTC, you'll be given an initial, midterm, and final. Initial you need 8 with only one zero, midterm 9 with only one 0, and to graduate RTC you need a 10 with no 0s.

[Nedpepper2]

Thanks for your response.

Discontinued the process today.

Good luck to everybody.

[Striker44]

What led you to that decision?

[Lone-ranger]

I withdrew about this time last year so I know how you feel. Good luck in your search.

[deadthrone7]

Thank you. Pulled out as I decided doing a lot of protection detail is not in my best interest. Want to flex that investigative muscle a bit more.

[fedmunds2]

So I received a email early this morning on USAjobs for check my updated status . It says “You are among the best qualified candidates and have been referred for the next step in the selection process.” So I have completed the home interview in early February. So does this means the call is next? Have anyone experience this before .
