DOJ Honors 2013 Forum

For those of you who have/will interview with EOIR and who have previous intern experience at an immigration court -- did your interviewer/HQ call your prior supervisor at the court? They called mine immediately after my interview on Friday. Didn't know if this is what they normally do or what.

I have externed at two parts of EOIR. I know they didn't contact one, and I don't know if they contacted the other. Did you have the person listed as a reference or marked as someone they could contact or both?

I listed him as both a reference and marked as someone they could contact. As far as I know, neither of my two other references have been contacted. Also of note, I went through the process last year also, and this reference was never contacted (obviously I didn't get the job).

Did you go through it for SLIP or HP last year?

HP. I'm clerking now, which makes me eligible again this cycle.

Is today the last day for interviews?

I'm the one who interned twice. I just found out they have called. Good luck current clerk!

Ugh. No one appears to have called anyone about me. Sometimes this thread is more depressing than it is helpful!

(Although, seriously, good luck to all y'all and here's hoping we all get good news in the next few weeks.)

I might be wrong, but I think the only people who have talked about calls thus far are people who have previously interned for EOIR. Regardless, I wouldn't stress over it too much.

Yes. From what I know they have only called previous EOIR supervisors.

True! Thanks. (Still wish someone was calling my references, though! )

From what I understood from last year -- they call references the day before or the same day they make an offer.

Is that just EOIR or all components?

It's at least EOIR - I don't know how the other components do it.

Any status changes yet? I wonder if everything will be delayed because of Sandy.

[Anonymous User]

Antitrust has made an offer.

Antitrust has made an offer.

Congratulations! (I'm assuming you received the offer) Did your/offeree's status change in Avue? Also, do you know if it was main DC or a field office?

[Anonymous User]

Antitrust has made an offer.

Same questions as above +

Did this happen this morning?

Was it one of your interviewers (probably the most senior one) who called? Had they been calling references? And if so about when were they doing that?

[Anonymous User]

Bump.

[Anonymous User]

Antitrust NY made the offer on Thursday. Avue status is "selected as finalist" - but not sure when that changed.

[Anonymous User]

any word on when the EOIR finalists will be selected & posted? possibly this week?

[Anonymous User]

Anybody here that isn't EOIR or antitrust?

Official date is next Monday, November 19.

I wonder if that will be extended since the interviews took longer.

[Anonymous User]

November 19 through December 2012 - DOJ extends most offers.

So even though finalists may be chosen by Nov 19, you may not find out until later. For ENRD, I was told second 1/2 of November.

[Anonymous User]

my interviewer for EOIR informed me that most offers for immigration courts will be extended by the end of december.

Has anyone heard from Civil Rights? Have they contacted references?

Also, once someone is selected as a finalist does that mean that person is definitely getting an offer? I'm not sure what the significance is between being selected as a finalist during Nov 2-19 and why the offer dates could be as late as December.

Being selected as a finalist means either you're getting an offer or you're an alternate (it means you're approved for an offer, but not necessarily that you'll get one).

Haven't heard, but curious about CR, as well.
