Thank you.

 

Same boat here but I've been floating for less time than you. Sterling told me ANDA can take up to 90 days and that JB will still give people class dates who are waiting on only ANDA. That said, still crickets for me. I don't know how accurate that is, only that the Sterling guy I talked to told me that.

 

That call to the Oklahoma FSDO was a good move. It revealed that they HAD gotten and processed the request (and in a timely manner). It went back to JB, but not Sterling...so...sterling was stuck not knowing stuff was done and not able to then tell JB they had what they needed. I don't know what the deal is with them both sending in parallel requests, but that seems to be what happened and evidently the right hand wasn't talking to the left. After talking to the FAA, I got back to Sterling, told them what was going on and VOILA! background complete within the working day.
Moral of the story (at least from my perspective), not a fire-and-forget operation so keep tabs on it if it gets stalled out.

ps- FWIW, I was told 60 days for the ANDA (After 70 Sterling had nothing, but it had been sent to JB within about three weeks)

 

I think you may have triggered something! Mine is complete as well. But it says "Background completed. Pending 20 of 21 searches." Whatever that means, but I suppose the key word is "completed." Alfred, when did you interview?

 

Does anybody fully understand the Sterling report? Some of my background items are "clear," others are "consider." All of the "consider" items have a yellow flag next to an easily explained discrepancy (i.e. Military Employment dates, I broke out duty station by duty station, but the Marine Corps reported total active duty time). That part is pretty self explanatory, but the upper left hand corner says "Complete Report-Consider." Is that good, bad or indifferent?

 

What phone number did you guys use to call OKC? They keep telling me they don't know and one just gave me an email address to contact.

 

Let me google that for you

 

Oct 20.

FSDO # that worked for me was 405-954-3011. Had to wait a while to get an actual person, but it worked. That was, of course, after a whole bunch of other numbers/rabbit holes that yielded useless stuff.

 

Thanks! I went through 3 different numbers and wound up going back to that one for somebody with an answer.

 

I was beginning to think that I was the only one on this thread who actually interviewed on Oct 20!
