    The vacancy announcement closed on November 19, 2019, at 11:59 p.m. EST.  It may take up to 10 weeks before everyone receives a status update.  We will notify candidates as determinations are made as to whether or not a candidate will be moving forward to the next step in the process, the Qualification Evaluation Panel (QEP).  We recommend adding the Department of State domain (@state.gov) as an approved sender.

    We will not have time to respond to status inquiries while we are working on the review of the application packages. We appreciate your patience and your interest in the Bureau of Diplomatic Security.

    I have not received any communication regarding my Special Agent application since mid-December. I understand the COVID situation has surely impacted the process, and it would be very helpful to have some information or update. If one has passed this portion of the process, and will be invited to an oral assessment when safe–or has not passed–just that information would be appreciated. Thank you.

    I’m not sure if this will help or not but I recieved my notification in January that my packet was moving on to the QEP and just received my notification email today that I passed QEP so my guess is they are still notifying applicants. But you should of gotten notified if you met the minimum score or requirement to move to QEP a long time ago.

    So if we have not been notified that our application was moved to QEP to begin with, should we assume the application was terminated? I have checked spam folder.

    De and Cortney, I too submitted the application in November 2019, received notification a few weeks later (mid-December) that it passed a preliminary screening and that I would hear something in 4-6 weeks (mid/late January or early February) and have not heard anything since that mid-December email.

    I recently emailed the DSRecruiting email and have not yet heard anything back. I’m not sure what to think at this time.

    D & C, I received the notification stating I’ve moved past the QEP, so keep bearing with it if you haven’t heard anything yet.
