What are some of the reasons scheduling a polygraph might be delayed, other than the file simply waiting to be picked up by someone?
Also if a person has been cleared by one place already, does that affect the order in which things are done by another place, like: polygraph first then reciprocate the TS or reciprocate the TS then do the poly later?
Thanks!
It could be availibity of interviewers, say a polygrapher leaves and you draw the short straw.
That makes sense… hadn’t thought of that.
Is there travel involved? That can slow things down.
I used to work at a place that was within a day’s drive of the greater DC area and the customers would often call our security officer when they had a sudden opening.
People who were due for a poly might get a call asking if they could go down the next day… one guy even went in on the day after Thanksgiving (not a routine federal holiday) when it came open. PS it did not help him in the long run 
Yup, a short flight.
The day after thanksgiving? Wow 
… i mean, at this point I’d be glad for any date for my processing to move forward. It sounds sad, but I was under the impression it was going to be a few weeks (that’s what they told me) and I would get a call to schedule all that good stuff (poly, psych etc) and it’s been well over a few months.
Did not think travel was a factor though 
I’ll keep waiting for that call…
Any idea what would be a reasonable timeframe to get the call for scheduling the poly (with the current backlog and all) 2,3 months from previous contact or longer/shorter?
