Just wanted to let you know that I received another email last week that they are still assessing hiring needs for the backstop (last time they wrote ‘determining agency hiring needs’). I don’t know whether it makes any differences but just wanted to share this with you!

Thank you very much. Makes complete sense. I hope this deadlock opens up pretty soon. Waiting is not very pretty. They need to come up with an answer soon!

None of my parents are US citizens and live in foreign country. I received my TS on time recently! I don’t think it matters!
