No clue, but they called me recently to reschedule to an earlier date. I was originally in the second week of December which was almost last. So I'm assuming its around two weeks of interviews...however many they interview per week is anyones guess.

If you don't mind me asking, how soon was your interview moved up? I was in the same situation and had my interview earlier this week. The waiting game is rough.

I was also asked to reschedule to a week earlier. It is probably just difficult to find times that work for everyone and are just having to accommodate to their schedules, especially considering the level of the interviewers (for me its OGC Chief of Staff and Deputy Chief of Staff, CBP OCC Chief of Staff and two OGC Attorney Advisors).

Yeah man thats what the person told me who rescheduled. People either rescheduling or just dropping out of interviews and they want to make it as consolidating as possible because I think its the same people you mentioned for each interview (obviously the Attorney Advisors change depending on section)...but thats rough.

I got a call today rescheduling my interview (12/7) to next week. She said, by that point, I was the only one scheduled for that week, which suggests that all the second round interviews will be next week. So I think we might actually hear early December.

My second round interview was the second week of November so I'm glad they're finally starting to wrap up! Been anxiously waiting ever since lol

Same! Can't wait for them to finish up . . . Has anyone been asked to provide references or letters of rec?

I was told in my 2nd round interview that decisions would be made in mid- to late-Dec. Sooner would be nice, though.

Does anyone know if they're checking references? I haven't been asked to provide any so far.

Well, that was a stressful interview.... Was anyone else asked uncomfortable follow-up questions by one particular individual? Don't want to go into details since there are still people interviewing!

And re time, they said they would try to make decisions by mid-December and then send out offers and once all offers have been accepted they will send rejection notices. But they also said don't be surprised if they fall behind and you might not hear back until January.

Is anyone interviewing with field offices specifically or is all the ICE interviewing just going through the OGC/OPLA second rounds?
