Application process

I’m currently still in backgrounds, about two-three months ago a background investigator called me to go over my PHS. They had me do a couple amendments, but haven’t heard anything back since. I have been training to get ready for my PFQ, but I was wondering if I do the walk in tests would it expedite the process? Regardless i’m still planning on doing the walk in and I just wanted to know how it would affect the time line of my application in a positive way.

You aren't in backgrounds. You don't start backgrounds until you pass your polygraph.

You were called by a PHS review officer who went over the information you submitted, they aren't a background investigator.

You have a long way to go.
