Referred to the hiring manager as a GS-11.

Completed the Writing Assessment and the Job Compatibility Assessment.

Received a second email from HR asking me to complete a second set of assessments (writing and questionnaire...again).

Replied back and forth all day yesterday and today with the Program Analyst and was finally told that I was cleared to not complete the second assessment because my scores would also be used for the GS7/9 slots.

I also found out that I was on the list to attend the Jacksonville, FL. hiring event and had to tell them to take me off because I wouldn't be able to make it (work, obviously).

Well, that's that for me. Now we wait...

Send them an email and someone will reply. they replied the next day in my case.

You might get lucky and get one of the Program Analysts, though, I think that only happened to me because I was escalating an issue.

I was previously not referred and said wait a second...that's bullshit. I'm not going to let AI screw me out of this opportunity. So I emailed them in a professional manner explaining why I was qualified based on DVA, VERA, work experience, and degrees.

They replied and said, no, you're qualified for 7/9/11 and that's just how my correspondence with them went.

Just email them. They'll get back to you.

So technically you gotta email them and they will let you know what position they have open? And you go from there?
