UST checked at least one of my references. Have they checked multiples of anyone elses? Also, would love to know when others are designated as finalists for the component.

Aye! UST only checked one of my references--that I know of. Also, the UST component disappeared on the status checker, so hopefully we find out sooner than later on finalist selections. Good luck!

Hey, thanks for this! But I don't know what you mean by the UST component disappeared on the status checker?!?!?

It means when I check my application status in avue central, UST doesn't show up. I interviewed with OCIJ and UST and the OCIJ information is up, but the UST information is gone. Can you still see UST in the "selected by" section in avue central?

Different anon. I can still see the UST "selected for interview" information but I only applied for the UST. Good luck!!!!!

Yes, but I only applied to the one component. Nothing has changed. It still says selected for interview. What’s it all mean

Does anyone know from any source or experience how many alternates they pick for CRM-AFML if you are a finalist? Last year, they picked finalists on Thursday and on Friday they finished their hiring...

[Anonymous User]

Got an offer from CLB. Barring some extraordinary, unforeseen circumstance, I will be accepting on Monday.

[Anonymous User]

Is anyone else here a CRM AFML finalist or knows of someone who is?

[Anonymous User]

I'm dying to know final status for EOIR-OCIJ

Same, waiting for my offer (or waiting until I find out I’m not getting one) is going to be the death of me

Finalist for USTP as of this morning, offer (phone) this afternoon.

[Anonymous User]

For the USTP office, did they give you the geographic location? My status changed to finalist but no offer yet

This may actually be worse than waiting on the status change.

Congrats my friend! I was named a finalist, but no offer as of yet. Did you indicate an area of the country you'd like to work in the interview? I expressed an interest in the western United States.

From reading past years threads re OCIJ, I think the consensus is that if you had your references checked before or immediately after being designated a finalist then you're probably getting a first round offer. However, there were some people who got offers without having their references checked but it seemed to be later on in the cycle so I guess take it all with a grain of salt?

Has anyone heard anything about CRT?

For those that asked about locations re: the USTP offer, I don't remember talking specifically about location in the interview, but I must have either there or the application, as the phone call discussed getting me into a compromise regarding:

1) where they have the most need (apparently midwest), or
2) where I wanted to go (not the midwest).

They offered a few cities, and were open to negotiation.
