DEA Diversion Investigator

[azcactus42]

Pop the popcorn and get ready for a long wait ladies and gents. Federal Soup is a better forum to follow for this job. DEA WILL NOT send out NOR's after testing. The only way you will know if you passed is if you 1. Call and ask 2. Get a random phone call months later asking to schedule you for the Panel Interview. LONG, LONG, LONG wait for this job. Unless they change things, You will be fortunate to complete the process in less than 2 years. Most people are waiting 2-4 years. PM me if you have questions.

Any updates fellas??

Negative. Also a part of FederalSoup like AZ suggested and most individuals being placed now are late 2015/early 2016 applicants. A glimmer of hope was hearing multiple sources say they are attempting accelerated processing of later groups, which we would fall into. Fingers crossed we may get 8n to before 2019 end, though 2020 seems more accurate.

My good friend just graduated as a DI from the academy at the beginning of December.... She told me “All DI classes are full for 2019 and they looking to fill classes for 2020”. That is the latest I’ve heard.

Hey there all! I'm not sure who else is still following things here, but I received a call from the Denver Field Office to let me know I'm being pushed for my panel, but I was sent to the wrong Field Office based on my current location, so to expect another call soon regarding the date/location of the interview. I hope others are hearing back as well!

Hello,
I had my interview on 03/29, and I haven’t been told if I passed or not yet. Don’t know if that’s common or not.

[FinCrimesJD]

Well Rooster, it seems we wait.....some more. Hahaha

Just email the address on the job announcement. They will usually get back with you with in the 24 hours and tell you if you passed or not. They will then proceed to tell you that it is a "very, very, long process"... with "no time frames for the next steps". Sit back and enjoy the ride..

Thanks AZ. The DI already did that for me same day. Probably the fasted movement related to the position currently. Haha

I ended up interviewing in Minnesota during the Final 4. Things went well. Just waiting for the COE and Background packet. In hoping more of us on here and on FedSoup will be pushing forward together.
