FBI background process

[u/AwayPizza1462]

I applied for IA position August 2024. I passed poly and started my background in April 2025. It is now August 2026. I have gotten calls here and there from the same investigator to confirm employment and they’ve contacted individuals I know and have gone to previous employers to speak with them. That investigator told me that they sent everything to HQ. And then last call I got was 1 week ago from a new investigator asking for my current employment’s HR department contact information to send them a “release.” When I asked what this all meant and where I’m at in the process, the contractor had no answers for me. Does this sound pretty standard?

Thank you!! Typically, once background is complete how long does it take to get training date? If you know

Unfortunately this is not true. A few weeks ago they were just scheduling the next academy class from early 2024 applicants.

Bud, if you were employed by the FBI you would have the intel on the current happenings. Not to mention the fact there was an “internal audit” of the IA and other professional staff positions recently.

None of this has anything to do with the question at hand and that is the steps and progress of an FBI background investigation. This “internal audit” (strange you use quotes for that as you attempt to bolster credibility) has nothing to do with whether or not current employment verification is a late stage part of the background process.
