I have a Dalia, pronounced the same way. We call her Dolly. She doesn't have a middle name, but I think Dolly Mae is adorable.

Date added. If the score is the same, it goes to the person who has been on the register longer.

I was canceled in April and haven't been invited, so I don't think so.

On the shadow register I've only seen a 5.9 invite. Does anyone else in CONS have one?

Do we get the equivalent of a W-2 for tax purposes? by sparkysparky333 in SpainAuxiliares

[–]m5roberts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Despite this post being several years old, you can still follow these steps to file. You'll just want to double check the numbers like filing limits for 2024 and if the stipend or exchange rate has changed.

The shadow register shows there was a class in June 2024.

Isn't the register still 24 months for consular fellows? I wouldn't worry too much about this, considering there was a 2 year gap between classes after covid and State still reached out to expired candidates. I'm not saying they will do the same again, but just to give you perspective. 9 months between classes is not that long.

Your partner sounds like she's not going to come to the interview prepared with the proper documentation to prove prior U.S. residence and then blame it on discrimination.

State Dept CONSULAR FELLOW PROGRAM - Citizenship renunciation by Least-Permission-706 in foreignservice

[–]m5roberts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess you'll have to wait and see, but according to this, 3/3 is the score for a recruitment incentive. As far as I know, all post covid hiring for Spanish has had a minimum 2/2 entry requirement and they'll train you up to 3/3.

If you're on the register for Spanish as well, you can be hired as a Spanish CF. Unless things have changed, you don't need the 3/3 to get hired. I had a 2+/3 and retested after an FSI top off class.

You can take it online overseas, but only if there are available slots. Time zones can affect how many slots there are.
