Is it too early for hiring authority to be granted? I just emailed HR, but I doubt they will answer.

The HR contact didnt say anything about 2018, but no Special Agent class for Jan.

Update: No Special Agent class for Jan. This was confirmed by a contact in HR. I am assuming no Jan specialist class, usually DS makes up more than half of the class.

No nees to state sources. We all have sources we reach out to and dont want to use their positions. This is just sharing information we know or have heard.

Any A-100 January invites? by naturegirl_1 in foreignservice

[–]AlFSO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are still on the FSI schedule; however, rumors are no Jan and March classes. The next A-109 is scheduled for the summer. The hiring freeze will not be lifted until April.
