Trying to distract myself from this awesome waiting game by engaging in some of my favorite activities: ICE Cream, ICE Fishing, ICEometric exercises...strangely, it doesn’t seem to be working.

I took and passed my polygraph - Sept 2020, this month things have started moving for me. The wait can be awful.Comment

Anyone happen to know how long you have to stay at a field office before you can transfer?Comment

If you receive a LOI, that means you’ve been assigned a BI, right?Comment

Not yet. But you are about to get one once you respond to that letter with explanations (Response to LOI).
Got a LOI last month. Responded to their questions right away. A week later, I got an email saying I will be contacted by the investigator for an interview. I was finally contacted and will interview next week.
Good Luck -

Absolutely not, it means they’re looking into your background but you don’t get a BI investigator until you get pre appointment clearance.Comment

Ahhh ok, thanks for the good info.Comment

Peace, appreciate the explanation. I responded about 2 weeks ago, right after I received it, so hopefully that BI is right around the corner. Best of luck to you too next week and I hope to join all you fine folks in an academy soon.Comment

Morning all….just got a tentative offer for a GS11..am currently a GS12 step ##…wanted to know if anyone has requested to get contacted by Human Resources or was able to negotiate the Grade level…any positive feed back appreciated.Comment

I was under the impression that if you are transitioning from one agency to the other, even if you get bumped down a grade they would place you at a step to which your salary would not decrease, but remain the same or higher. I could be wrong though. -
You are right…i read the TSL in details and noticed they did in fact matched my GS 12 with an GS 11 step….i guess i’ll request my GS12 step ## after the completion of a year…i’ll have my SF50 ready before making the jump.. -

Yes and no. If you bump down to a lower graded position and that position tops out lower than your current grade there could be direct pay matching. The scenario discussed here is dropping down a grade but the FPL is the same or higher than the current grade held. Under this scenario there is a drop down rule. If straight pay matching were authorized upon re-promotion to GS 12 the individual would would be awarded a higher step (at that grade) than previously held.
Example GS 12/1 RUS base is $77,488. Let’s say This guy takes a GS 11 DO spot. Pay matching would put him about 11/6 (75,427) or 11/7 (77,582). Upon re-promotion he would be entitled to 12/2 or 12/3 and both are higher than previously held. He would most likely be offered an 11/4 (71,116) and upon re-promotion would become a 12/1.

Any one in the New York Field Office? If so, how’s the work environment, management, schedule, work load etc.
Am not expecting it to be a glorified field office nor am i expecting to be gung ho when i get there. I know dues has to be paid as any newbie in any federal agency does. I just want to get a general feel for it…feel free to PM me. ThanksLast edited by Robert_212; 06-10-2021, 03:35 PM.Comment
