I passed the Phase 1 FBI Special Agent test and just mailed in my full application to the FBI. I'm now waiting to here back on a testing date for Phase 2. I realize they might not ever contact me but for anoyne out there who went through this step, how long did you wait for your phase 2 test date.
Thank You,
Dave
Hi there,
I mailed them my FD-140 in late February and was confirmed for an interview slot in mid-November (Ya, 9 months)
By the way, I failed to attain a passing score, got my results 2 weeks ago :-[
It is not an easy test my friend, be prepared mentally.
I hope to be able to retake it next year.
2 weeks from the Phase 1 test, to the passing letter from phase 1, to the letter giving me the "when and where" for phase 2.
The national average is 9 months and right now it's a bit longer. However, I read there's a "fast track" hire for key positions. If the person that posted 2 weeks is being honest (I'm doubting the post somewhat) s/he could be a candidate for a key job. Anyone else out there that made it past this step?

Here's my timeline:
11/01 submission of initial app
1/23/02 Letter scheduling phase 1 test
2/19/02 Phase 1 test
4/8/02 Letter notification of Phase 1 pass
4/10/02 Submission of FD-140
8/29/02 Phase 2 test
9/6/02 Letter notification of phase 2 pass and offer of conditional employment
10/3/02 Inconclusive Polygraph testing
10/4/02 Polygragh continuation, failure, and interrogation
10/23/02 Letter notification of poly failure and rescind of comditional employment offer
11/5/02 Appeal of polygraph results
1/24/03 Phone notification of "misplaced" appeal request
1/31/03 Second apppeal of polygraph results
My lack of anonymity on this website has caused me some grief in my appeal process. But, like I have said from the start of this ordeal, I have nothing to hide, and therefore, will continue to use my real name.

George,
Sorry to hear you didn't pass the interview.
Do you remember the date you pre-applied and the date you took Phase 1 testing?
Thanks
My timeline:
Phase I test about 6 weeks after online applic.
Phase I pass notification about 2 weeks after test.
Submitted fd-140 2 1/2 months ago, have not heard anything since.
I've stopped being eager to get home and check the mail.
I passed phase 2 testing in early august/02. Passed physical and polygraph within a few weeks after that. Now, merely waiting for background check to be completed. THAT is where the delays are(hint...be as ACCURATE as possible in your address/employment history questionare. If there is a discrepancy, even of a few days many years ago, they will find it and it will delay the process further). It is a long, frustrating process.
good luck

Guys,
I'm trying to get a time line from as many people as I can for every step in the process. If you can be as specific as possible for every step I would be grateful.
I already have some completed time lines and I think testing is done in 4 month blocks. I need more dates to be sure.
Thanks
???Hello, passed my phase 1 test and I am scheduled to take the Spanish Written Examination in a couple of weeks. I have done research but can not find any information on what type of test it is and what it covers. Help if you have taken it.
I discovered today that passing Phase I testing does not mean you will be chosen for Phase II testing. After waiting a month, I received a letter from Washington and a phone call that said I passed Phase I testing. Three weeks after those, I received an e-mail that said that I was no longer being processed or considered for Phase II testing. My background is clean, not even a single traffic ticket, and I have a masters degree. So, good luck. Obviously the position doesn't require anything more that luck.
