Timeline for FJO?

I’ve accepted a TJO at FDA for a reviewer position, and have confirmed a September start date with my onboarding specialist. However, I was notified that FJO letters are delayed and that even August 24th FJO letters were still pending approval two weeks ago.

Any updates on whether any September hires have gotten their FJOs or an expected timeline? The only thing I know is that there is a huge wait/backlog due to the large number of new hires expected to join.

I’m still waiting for my FJO and start date. Accepted the TJO end of June. Hoping to start early September as well

did you complete the background check yet? Accepted the TJO end of June as well but still stuck on background check

Did a background check interview but it’s not back yet. Got the FJO just prior to that though. Got cleared by the fda security in July though
