if it’s going through vital, it’s via a virtual briefing and e-signature for the letter of offer.

Sorry I know my repliy don't help much. Maybe it doesn't mean anything?

Ouch! I set my tripod in the middle of the day to take the photo man

HR said they're working on my appointment and processing time is between 2-4 weeks....letter coming?? DD anyone know what is the timeline like??

Did you have a job while waiting for the security clearance and did the recruitment team update you about the progress along the way? Going through the same thing and the timeline keeps getting pushed back. It’s almost year end already so I’m worried. More worried that they will rescind the offer last minute.

Would like to contribute my part for my application timeline:

Mid May : Applied for the position through career@gov
+ 1 week: Received a call from HR for a scheduled interview
+ 1 week: Interview session with hiring manager & director
+ 2 days: Received a call from HR stating interest and verbal offer
+ 8 weeks: Received security clearance approval and received the formal offer letter

Took around 2-3 weeks from application > interview > verbal offer.
After verbal offer, waited another 8 weeks for security clearance to get the formal offer letter.

OP here. I do have another job while waiting for the final offer.
The recruitment did not update on a frequent basis however, I did contact them twice during the 8 weeks clearance period (kind of paranoid, excited and to get confirmation).

However, during the verbal offer, after the interview, the HR did reassure me that this offer is all set and will be onboarded as long as there isn't any issues with the clearance (heard most of the time will be cleared).

Did HR told you that you are pending clearance? If so, what Cat clearance would it be? The higher the clearance level, the longer it will take depending on individual (up to 6 months)

All the best!
