If anyone was told something different, I’d like to hear it.
Some people get called a couple days after VIB for an interview. Sometimes it takes weeks or months (or sometimes not at all). They continue to pull apps for interviews from the last window until the new window is open (in this case January). At that point I would suggest reapplying, indicating you were at Vets In Blue 2019 (supposedly there’s a place to indicate that?). I have heard they occasionally call people who haven’t reapplied in each window, but I wouldn’t recommend it.

Back to when they could/will schedule a video interview...it all depends when they are scheduling interviews, but the pool from which they pull is the recent app window. Also, they don’t like scheduling interviews that far out. And it won’t be all the VIB guys at once. In other words, if there are 50 (arbitrary made up number) out of the 150 or however many VIB attendees there were who will eventually get interviews, not all of those interviews will happen at the same time...they are spaced out. I’d guess it’d be spread out from now thru March (or even longer in some cases).

Just keep updating/reapplying and keep the faith. It can be a long painful process (or it could be quick). For expectation management, expect long. Remember: no sense in worrying about what you can’t control (I know..the wait can be stressful, especially since it’s a giant unknown and not an immediate yes/no nor on a fixed/known timeline).

Share info and timelines here, but know that it can vary for each individual based on a number of factors, for everything from the time from VIB to video interview, video to in person interview, in person to phase 2 notification, phase 2 to phase 2 complete, and ph2 complete to class. Keep apps out everywhere you’d be happy at and good luck.
