Re: DOJ Honors Program 2018-2019
Has anyone heard from OCAHO?
In addition, do different sections of EOIR check references independently, or do they just have one person from EOIR staff do it for all of them?

I had my references checked on 10/9 and interviewed almost two weeks after that on 10/26. Designated finalist for EOIR but haven’t heard anything yet. I’m starting to lose hope

Q: Is there a date that first round offers will be completed for EOIR?
A: Our office does not track offers, but EOIR OCIJ is very deliberate, conducts thorough reference checks, and has a lot of positions to fill. From what I can see, first-round offers are still going out. I anticipate they will continue to go out well into December. It is not uncommon for OCIJ hiring to continue into February/March.

Re: DOJ Honors Program 2018-2019
I was a finalist for OCAHO and I know of one other. There may have been a third. I never received an offer. I just accepted a position in another component so if you're a finalist it's probably down to you and maybe one other (who may have received an offer).Anonymous User wrote:Has anyone heard from OCAHO?

No, I just accepted an offer and I am coming straight out of law school. I did intern with a district court and a state court, and was a slip last summer.Anonymous User wrote:Is everyone applying out of a clerkship? All (not many) DOJ Honors attys I've met were clerks

Re: DOJ Honors Program 2018-2019
I just got off the phone with my friend who works for at the San Antonio Immigration Court (hired last year under the DOJ Honor's Program) and she said she received information today that all the first-round offers for EOIR have been completed. She followed up that 2 people she works with didn't get offers until late January and to definitely hold out hope as an alternate. No idea how reliable this is though...

So for people who accepted offers anyone know how long it takes to get paperwork, when background check starts, etc.?

Re: DOJ Honors Program 2018-2019
It may depend a little on what background check your component requires, but I think I was contacted with forms relatively quickly and had to submit my forms in December sometime. You’ll get contacted by interviewers along the way.

All first round offers for San Antonio or all first offers for all of EOIR?
From the activity on here it doesn't seem like 120+ offers have been made, but maybe we're overestimating this forum's representativeness?

Re: DOJ Honors Program 2018-2019
Doesn't really answer your question but the response from avue "After a tentative (often oral) offer is accepted, the hiring office has to initiate the background investigation and send my office a checklist of information that is used to prepare a formal, written offer. Some components wait until their hiring is complete and send over a batch. Some do it as acceptances come in. Just don't panic - we track by name and will follow up."Anonymous User wrote:So for people who accepted offers anyone know how long it takes to get paperwork, when background check starts, etc.?

I know that each location gets notified when all of the offers for that location have been accepted. not sure about them telling people when every first round offer has been made, I mean they dont even tell usAnonymous User wrote:Anonymous User wrote:I just got off the phone with my friend who works for at the San Antonio Immigration Court (hired last year under the DOJ Honor's Program) and she said she received information today that all the first-round offers for EOIR have been completed.

Re: DOJ Honors Program 2018-2019
I guess the point im trying to make is JLC's dont care what round of offers DOJ is in, so it is unlikely HR would tell them. However, they DO care whether offers have been accepted at their location, which I have been told HR does.Anonymous User wrote:Employers always know more about a job search than applicants, though.Anonymous User wrote:I know that each location gets notified when all of the offers for that location have been accepted. not sure about them telling people when every first round offer has been made, I mean they dont even tell usAnonymous User wrote:Anonymous User wrote:I just got off the phone with my friend who works for at the San Antonio Immigration Court (hired last year under the DOJ Honor's Program) and she said she received information today that all the first-round offers for EOIR have been completed.
