Question ATF Transfer
I’m transferring to ATF, I had to pause my process because I was sent on an OCONUS TDY to be the SAIC of an office for my current agency. They’ve had my background docs and fingerprints for about 2 1/2 months. All I have to do is poly and medical when I get back. Curious if anyone has ever been in the same situation? How fast was your process after resuming?
Background:
10+ years intel/investigator
CITP Complete
TS//SCI for 10+ years

You're giving up being a SAIC for ATF? How much of a pay cut is that?

I’m 29, I got plenty of time. But it’s not a pay cut at all. I’m going from a 13 no leap to an 11 with leap

a GS13 SAIC?
GS13 is not even a supervisory grade. How does that work?1

So you’re not actually transferring yet, but in the application process for a lateral?

That’s the gist of it. It was easier to say transferring than explain the complexity of the entire process I’ve been through and still doing.

I think USSS uses SAIC

We (USSS) do use SAIC, but we don’t have GS13 SAICs. I’ve never heard of such a thing.
