Hi guys,

I received an OCIJ Offer for Varick St. in NYC. I can't remember if I ranked it #1 or #2 (I ranked both NYC courts as my Top 2). I interviewed on the second day, and had my references checked starting the following week. Good luck everyone else waiting, and don't panic. This week will be a slower rollout because of Thanksgiving :). Try and enjoy tomorrow!

Hi, all! I received an email offer this morning for an EOIR-OCIJ position at Guaynabo/San Juan. It was my #7, but I suspect they had a relatively small pool of people who said they would be willing to go there, so make of that what you will. I interviewed in Atlanta on 10/30 (day 2 of 5 for that region), and I know at least one of my reference checks went out on 11/14. The email came from EOIR Headquarters.

Crim Tax finalist as well (interviewed Oct. 31; at least 2 reference checks by Nov. 2). Anyone heard of any Tax offers yet? Based on last year's timing, I suspect I'm an alternate, but Deana hasn't posted yet so there seems to still be a chance.

Pretty much same boat minus the specific details. Pretty slim odds that there are three alternates checking in here but no offerees (especially since people are more inclined to share the good news of getting an offer than news of just waiting). Makes me wonder if they haven’t actually made first round offers yet. Perhaps the lack of an AAG and the upheaval in the front office has delayed things (here’s hoping).

Did anyone else that was not designated a finalist have their references contacted?

I interviewed Oct. 25, my references were called Oct. 26, and Nov. 3rd I was called and told that they selected someone else but that I was in the top two-three. I still haven't gotten any rejection email or even the community notice that my component has made their selection...

Looks like from last year's thread that the offers went out/slots were filled the Monday after Thanksgiving for all the Tax positions.

Accepted an offer from ENRD this morning. Got the offer last Monday (Nov 19) by phone. References were checked on Nov 8. Best of luck to those still waiting!

Received/Accepted offer for OCIJ in the Houston Immigration Court. Anyone aware of a Facebook group for OCIJ yet? Should we get a google doc going for the court offers?

Thank you! I'm actually a funnel from SLIP so I didn't interview/have references checked. Houston was my #1 choice.

I wonder how many of the people that have got offers thus far are funnels from SLIP?!?
