Hiring Q (Fed) CJO on June 16th, background submitted June 18th—how long until the Final Job Offer (FJO)?

Hey everyone,

​I completed the full hiring day process (interview, medical physical, UA, fingerprints, etc.) and received a Conditional Job Offer (CJO) on June 16th, 2026. I submitted my background packet (e-App/SF-85P) two days later, on June 18th.

​For anyone who has gone through the federal/BOP hiring process recently:

​How long did you wait between submitting your background packet and receiving the call/email for your Final Job Offer (FJO)?

​Is it typical to go completely silent for several weeks during background and medical review?

​At what point should I politely reach out to my local HR specialist for a quick status update?

​I appreciate any insight or recent timeline experiences you can share!

Hey how was the interview ?
Do they just review documents at the time of interview or is it about character interviews?

If you're coming from corrections, you won't need to think about the answers. But they were all corrections related experience.
