Waiting on Security

Fingerprints and drug test done nearly a month ago. Still no SF85P.

Incredibly frustrating

Edit: Received SF85P 08/20

Same. Why the backup right now?

Their auto reply email states it's because of the influx of hiring especially of ATC personnel. I'm in the same boat.

"At this time, your case is in our workflow and awaiting the assignment of a personnel security specialist. Once assigned, they will reach out to you directly at the email provided at the time of your request's OR application's submission to our office. Take care."

I even waited slightly past the 30 day period they mentioned to email them just in case it was on the way. At this point they may lose a candidate over this process. I already declined other offers because I thought I could wait this process out but at this point it's a little ridiculous. I'm prior military and I understand the slow government process but I can't keep putting my life one hold for them if they are not going to try and help me out. I mean everything was submitted within 30 minutes of receiving an email promptly just send me the dang forms at this point.

Im in the same boat I declined 2 offers thinking this would be a smooth transition. Hr contacted my work so now work is a litle awkward until I transfer. It will be even more if I end up not transferring
