EOIR OCIJ Avue update-- Finalist!

Congrats! Did you receive an email, or just see the Avue status update?

Just a status update on Avue

Command-R it is!

Deana said more finalists notifies are coming, queue throwing up.

Looking at her post, do you get the sense that she's referring to more finalists for the OCIJ? Or more finalists just in general?

Based on her next post, it looks like "more coming" is referencing specifically to OCIJ finalists.

When I first read her post I thought she was like actively updating statuses but now I feel like it sounds like she got one round through and that's it. "More coming" in the next couple of days not any minute now. Right?

That sounds like a reasonable interpretation. Also, it is an interpretation that might let us think about something else for the rest of the day, so it sounds like the one we should run with

Seems like there are a lot of CRT folks checking the board. For what it's worth, last year Civil Rights waited until the late afternoon of the last day to designate finalists. Not sure how much of a predictor that is for this year.

Anyone know when ATR notified last year?

[Anonymous User]

ATR announced finalists at least in part on the 17th last year--two days before the deadline.

Anyone know when ATR notified last year?

Based on the forum last year she posted the finalists Nov. 17th - 18th. Not sure about when offers were actually made though.

Does anyone know when Civil Division made offers last year? If so, please share!

Does anyone know when Civil Division made offers last year? If so, please share!

For Appellate: Nov. 18 for finalists; Nov. 19 for offers

I think Appellate tends to move the earliest.

while we're at it, anyone remember how things went down for crim?

[Anonymous User]

Is anyone holding out hope who hasn't had their references checked? Specifically for Crim and FBI.

Offers finalized Dec. 1. I don't have info on my spreadsheet re: when finalists were selected/notified on AVUE. Others can chime in?

thanks for the info! can you talk a bit more about the logistics. e.g., did statuses change to finalist on AVUE then a phone call offer?

Generally, I think this is right -- status changes before phone call. Appellate seems to move really fast and this might happen concurrently. Just asked my friend about CRT and he said it was pretty quick in between the status change and offer call. Before Turkey Break though.

just posted on Avue: I've updated the OCIJ finalists based on EOIR's input from today. I do not know whether there are additional OCIJ finalists coming. Once I know, I'll post an update

welp, that might be it for OCIJ. Womp.

[Anonymous User]

anyone who interviewed with EOIR-OCIJ not have a status change today...?

Yup mine didn't change. I guess I'm gonna stay hopeful until she posts that all finalists are up.
