Received my FJO today!

Here's my timeline! From July 2023 to 2/15/24, phew! Honestly, it depends on the agency you are applying to and what type of clearance is needed. But, the biggest obstacle is that HRs everywhere are very backed up due to the new company that handles their usajobs only permitting so many job postings per month, from what I'm told.
