USMS Schedule B 2022

[cdp123]

Ok cool. I haven't started medical or my background yet so I didn't know if I missed an email or call lol

[1RidgeRunner7]

That means your call/email from medical is coming soon.

[TonySoprano]

Completed medical over a month ago, been in the process for a year. Crickets on eqip/background.

Vet, BA, no LEO

[Gabulldogs88]

Might wanna reach out to the security office. They lost my “file” or whatever due to someone leaving and it set me back 4 months.

[BK4448]

The same happened to me. We must have had the same investigator haha.

[Henyo]

What’s the rule of thumb regarding emailing them after medical is completed but not cleared yet? I did mine middle of November. BI is currently being investigated. Currently 11 months in from info session hoping to get the cleared for hire pretty soon.

[deaguilar87]

Kennywc how long after did you follow up?

I completed mine the beginning of December and followed up the beginning of Jan and they informed me that they were still awaiting my medical clearance, that it could takes weeks or months

[Kennywc]

deaguilar87 end of day or two before thanksgiving I finished it and I followed up last week.

[deaguilar87]

Kennywc cool thanks , I’ll try again mid feb

[Abaddon]

I did my medical in mid November and I emailed HRD two weeks ago and got a similar response as deaguilar87 although they said it would just be a few more weeks.

[MJQ1992]

Any updates anyone?

[Lex-22]

Same here, waiting for medical and background email. When HR reached out to me about my transcript last week, they also included in the email that “the medical team will be reaching out in the coming weeks with information on how to schedule medical exam and any required forms that they need.”

[MJQ1992]

Lex-22 sounds like a positive e-mail for what it's worth.

[Ser Oly]

Still waiting for TOL. I'm two weeks from the 5 month mark of having received my passing interview notification.

[ArthurMorgan]

My background investigator is coming to my job today to interview people.

[Walle]

sounds like everyone is at the same general step in the process, medical/background investigation. Either waiting to start or waiting to be approved.

[Mandony]

Cleared medical and BI is up for adjudication.
Info session January 2022!

[TonySoprano]

My info session was at the same time and I haven’t gotten my eqip email yet. Ugh.

[calidude1849]

Rumour has it that all new hires in the "near future" will be starting out at 1811 with LEAP. No information when this starts. anybody else have any info about that?

[Mikelow]

For real, hoping they upgrade us 5’s to 7’s

[calidude1849]

SOGmma how long was his hiring process

[SOGmma]

He came as a 7 step 10…his time line was info session dec 20, everything held up because of Covid, cleared for hire in sept 22, final offer dec 23, at DC superior as of Jan 23. Anyone that was brought as a 5 but is def qualified for 7 getting adjusted and fixed while they’re there or during onboarding apparently. This coming direct from him as of last week.

[FNG41YR]

About damn time. Coming on as 5 or 7 was the reason a bunch of people declined (myself included).

[SOGmma]

Deleted….oops

[calbraz]

Just got the email to do the eQIP and fingerprints. Weird because I’m a current BPA and had a Tier V background done last year. Do they not reciprocate?

[Mikelow]

I had a tier 5 done last august but still haven’t got that far yet, still awaiting medical. I would have thought they would reciprocate as I’ve had another agency do so recently. Maybe ask HR or whoever sent your security email?

[Aih018]

Mine was reciprocated so I would double check. I think they have a standard though as far as how many people your investigator made contact with etc.

[deaguilar87]

If it’s under two years they will reciprocate.

[calbraz]

Just got the response saying my T5 is reciprocated. Now hopefully I get the medical scheduled.

[RYMOND]

Hello ladies and gents. What are some things that can be disqualifiers during the background investigation? For instance, is a poor credit score detrimental to getting a clearance?

[01010101]

They’ll take into account your entire BI. It’s not necessarily one thing or the other but how the individual is overall.

[Djrx23]

-Deleted- No longer in need of an answer

[RYMOND]

I’m 29 as of today guys. I guess the bright side of that is the FIT requirements will be lowered my next birthday.

[TonySoprano]

Those of you who have reached out for updates, which email do you use? Can I email the OPM? I completed my medical almost 2 months ago and still have not even started BI because I’m waiting on the Eqip email. I’m going to have to reach out to them and see what’s up.

[01010101]

Can’t really help you on that, but does medical come before equip in the process or can it go either way?

[MJQ1992]

Id probably try the dusm applicant email.

[ryno78]

If you get an offer for a location that you really don’t want for various reasons, can you deny it and still be put back in the hat for another location? I’ve heard from a friend who just graduated that multiple guys in his class turned down a few offers until they were offered a place they wanted. It seems pretty risky. Do you guys have any info regarding this?

[Walle]

apparently the USMS is now moving toward offering locations AFTER you accept the final offer, either before you go to FLETC or shortly after. In the other threads people have copy and pasted the emails they received regarding this.

[ryno78]

Interesting because I got my TOL yesterday, and they included a geographical wishlist that they would try to accommodate my preferences but there would be no guarantee. Still doesn’t mean they would give me a location with the final offer I suppose.

[Danielsan]

My tentative selection notice email had this sentence after giving me 24 hours to respond, “A non-response to this email will be taken as a declination/withdrawal and you will be permanently removed from future hiring opportunities”. Take that as you will but I wasn’t taking any chances as I was close to having my hiring certificate expire. I’ve heard of people getting multiple offers after declining a location and I’ve heard from current DUSMs that you may never get selected again.

If you want it bad enough like I did, you can make anywhere work for a few years.

[Pomona794]

Hey all, I hope everyone is remaining optimistic in this long process. Has anyone here asked DUSM HR about updating their resume? I finished medical and my background and just trying to see if I can update my resume before I (hopefully) get into the hiring pool and my name gets thrown in a hat. I started a new job and the experience seems like it would be a good thing to add.

[MJQ1992]

I dont have an answer for you. But if you get one, I too would like to know.

[2021applicant]

It wouldn’t hurt to email and ask. I do know they have not allowed any changes to applications once they’re submitted to include applicants changing their vet preference. Clearly, the process changes so I would double check.

[Danielsan]

I tried and was told they only accept and use the resume/application that was submitted by the close of the hiring announcement you applied to. I had several years in limbo thanks to Covid where I was promoted to a leadership position, tasked with a new unit, completed training academies/courses, etc. but could not add any of it to an updated resume for the hiring pool.

[Pomona794]

Just an update, they said the same thing Danielsan. Didn’t see that post till after I sent out an email. They said to update resumes you would have to apply all over again. I wonder if they chuckled as they wrote that..
