I applied for CCA around May, and took fingerprints on June since then I never got an email for the next step, got tired of waiting, so then I canceled my application on the beginning of August and tried to apply again for CCA the same day, it took me till September 9th, I got an email to go to a final processing on September 11th, i already did fingerprints so i knew that had to be the last step, I entered with a group to do some paperwork and they gave me a date to go for orientation on the 21st! And I'm so excited because it took a looong wait to get a response back and was totally worth it!!
@@daliarahman1248 well I applied again for cca and since I guess we can't apply 2 times the same position I canceled/withdraw the 1st application from May and confirmed it
I feel like this when one door closes another one open and maybe you wasn’t suppose to get it that time but keep applying and you will get it the second time don’t give up
How do we get the fingerprinting done they sent me an email and I haven’t got an email back to schedule my appt for fingerprinting and I only have 5 days to do this
It’s been about 8 weeks since I’ve went for finger prints, why is it taking so long, I don’t have anything on my record? I emailed my PM a week ago haven’t heard anything back..
Hey Marie hope I can hear back from you so I can get a piece of mind. I applied for a CCA. On May 22 I got an email that said USPS conditional job offer. It said "Congratulations! Based on the information provided in your application and assessment results (if applicable), we are pleased to offer you the position of CITY CARRIER ASSISTANT" etc etc etc..... right after that I got another email to accept or decline job offer. Of course I accepted. Five days later I got another email that said pre-employment processing. I went to that on June 4th in the morning...there was like 8-9 other people. We signed paperwork has a basic interview, that took took less then 5 minutes with everyone in the room, watched a video that basically showed us about the job and also took my fingerprints. Its been about 5 days and I have not received any follow up and I am getting so anxious. What do you suggest I do, does it sound to you that I am on track in getting the job? Also checked the status of my application on my online profile and it says in process...offer phase (ext) do you have any idea what that means? Hope to hear back in a response.
Hey I have the same problem , went for the fingerprinting process , and was told that someone will get to me to wait , it’s been almost a month now and still waiting 🤷🏽♂️. I was hoping to start before landscaping season started lol now I start work in a week and have not heard from usps. I’m not sure how long that takes but would be glad if they can tell me if I’m getting the job or not.
I just got my fingerprints. But since I work with chemicals, my right hand finger prints barely showed up on the screen. I think I wore them away. I am reading the comments below, I guess two to three weeks of waiting is pretty standard. I guess that's why they say, Don't quit your job yet !! :)
@@DONTCRASHJET yes, I didn't take the job because the workers at the plant said that they were waiting for someone to retire or die for a permanent spot. I am keeping the job that I have.
I've worked several PO jobs. The plant was theeeeee most horrible position. I'm waiting to go back to being a CCA again.They're not drug testing right now either.
@@PreppedANDStrapped woow lol it was a week after background check when they emailed me to call hiring manager and she had sent me the info for fingerprints which I had done the next day this Wednesday would be my 2 week mark after fingerprints. I'm so impatient 😨
I’m worried about what to wear going to do my fingerprints. I planned on dress pants, blouse and flats. Email says to wear proper footwear that covers entire foot. Would a nice blouse, jeans and boots or tennis shoes be okay?

Hi Marie! I quit the post office due to my mom being sick about 5 years ago. I didn’t think to give them a notice because I was stressed and just had to leave.

I did my fingerprints back in October and it’s now November. Can you provide me with information that could cause an applicant denial of employment. I passed the assessment with 90% and I was called in for a fingerprints. I was recently doing security so I’m confident that there isn’t anything on my background.
Hello! Question? What does the effective date mean? I received an email starting my application has been reached and the next effective date is for the end of this month. I’m not sure what it means. The letter requested that I have 24 hours to accept the position but that was it. I’m so confused because it didn’t mention anything else as far as orientation. Any advice?
Hi Marie, I gave my finger printing and submitted my I-9 during the finger printing. But I am still waiting. I sent an email yesterday to HR asking if they need any documents from me to complete the prehiring process. But I have not received any reply for my email. Will they respond to my email or i need to wait? Thanks!
So I did my fingerprints etc... Already been scheduled for orientation tomorrow morning, but noticed I was supposed to go to the pre hire meeting today but by the time I realized it was too late. So does that mean I cant attend orientation tomorrow?
I got my fingerprint appointment a week ago, hopefully my orientation will be next. When will be the best time to inform my current supervisor about quitting?
How long after your fingerprint session did you receive an invite to this next step? I came in for my fingerprints on 10/31/20 and it's been almost two weeks. We weren't told anything about next steps or anything after the session was over. We were just escorted out of the building and that was that. 🤷🏼♀️
Have they cleared your background check yet? I already went to do my fingerprints etc. she said all I need to do is wait for them to send me an email now. I’m also in the Houston area
Your video is very helpful. Thank you so much. I just summit SF85. I’m wondering What’s the next process? They will sent me the date of finger print? How long gonna be take?
How do I schedule for the fingerprint verification I called the number provided and emailed the email they sent the day I got all the emails but I haven’t heard anything from them and it is almost at the deadline they gave me to get it done.
Man I've done did the fingerprints & photo badge I'd, and I've still haven't heard nothing yet still says IN PROCESS (OFFER PHASE) EXT smh been 4 months.
Hey Marie, how long was this process when you got the job assignment was it a all day thing? Just asking cause I still have work and haven’t quit my recent job want to make sure I have enuff time to make it back to work. Thank you for your videos once again
Don't quit coz it takes time and also you may want to see first if you will like the job. Its strenuous, long hours, you will work weekends and holidays. You will not be able to live a normal life.
What city and state are you out of? I’m in CA. I applied for MHA today and got a score of 93, and I’m already dying for an email 😂 I also applied for MPA and got a 97, but it’s a temporary position. I’m deciding on which one, if I get offers...
MHA gets more benefits. MPA gets more money but it's a temporary job. There are many applicants they are processing so hang in there, the email will come. For the mean time start working out, the job is physically strenuous. The work is 6 days a week. Prepare yourself for the pain and pressure.
Hi Marie, I have my fingerprinting appointment tomorrow in Los Angeles plant on Central what building do you enter too ? The main building (post office) where the clerks are at or the other building on the right?? I’m confused 😕
Question. I missed my initial 5 day period in October to schedule my appointment for fingerprints. I just scheduled my appointment for this Friday. Does that mean I still have a chance to get in? Also do they make accommodations for those who are disabled? Love your channel
I went in for my fingerprints, and the next process was fill out SF-85 background form, unfortunately when I clicked on the link it was not a PDF, or Dox document it was in code xx2f369 text my rep told me to try another computer which I tried on 2 with no luck. I've missed two job offers and can't get another SF85 sent to me. Any suggestions???
Me too I emailed Ms. Campbell to schedule an appointment for my fingerprint, and she replied and said once my name appears on the fingerprint report I would recieve and invite via email, I don't know what this means I'm currently waiting for the email and I don't know what to look out for
@@MarieAdventure I am unable to find a phone number for HR that is not just a machine that just hangs up on me and speak with a real person. Do I call the PO where I am to work?
@@kshon86 they will get back at you. Just remember that they do thorough backgrounds because you will be working with the government. It took me a while too. Dont forget to check your emails or HR people will call you. I got an email and a call from HR for my orientation. They should be calling or emailing you soon because the holidays are coming the post office will be super busy.
You can decline the offer. Email HR if you are going to your fingerprints tell the person you are not going to take the position since its too far from you.
What differences are there between a city carrier or a rural assistant carrier? .... I have been offered both jobs and I decided to be an assistant city carrier but I don't know if I did well.
The title speaks for itself. City = you will deliver mails in the city. Rural = rural areas like the suburbs. You don't have to get out of your car as Rural carrier because you will be shoving mails in mailbox 📬 outside the house. City you have to walk blocks and deal with dogs. I personally prefer rural because its more laid-back and you can do it on your own time. City cariers have long hours, supervisor is in your business all the time and you have to carry heavy shoulder bag filled with mails. I hope that helps.
Who and how do I contact someone from the post office in regards I did get a job offer phase ext. but did not get the email job offer conditional letter email to accept the CCA job. I did get the GIS background check email but how do go about accepting the job if they did not send the job offer conditional letter email to accept the job?
Do they count the weekend for the 5 days to do fingerprints because I got a notice on 10 Thursday and went Tuesday 15th. I haven’t heard anything and now it’s Friday 18th
Ok so right now I currently have an appointment for finger prints but I’d like to know why it says it might take 1-2 hours is the orientation included or why is it so long? Do they interview you at the spot? What should I expect at finger print process? I want to be better prepared. Also I use to have to two misdemeanors on my record, but the got expunged a couple years ago, should I mention that at the finger prints?
I took my finger prints the Monday before new year's eve. Im excited and anxious at the same time how long will I have to wait? Arc is what I was hired for
Hello , so I was just wondering , how much do they start you of with the hour , and I’ve heard from a worker that starting off is unstable, sometimes they have work sometimes they don’t , u till you make a year or so that’s when you get an official route ?
My application went from pre hire to offer phase ext, does this mean I got the job? I already completed assessment, fingerprints, background check, drivers record .
It means you are considered to be hired unless they rescind or cancel the position. When you receive an orientation letter, it means you are hired. Wishing you get the job!
Good afternoon, I applied for PSE clerk on September 23, 2021. I received an offer/acceptance email on October 18, 2021, a fingerprint request on October 18.2021 and I submitted my background form on October 18, 2021. I submitted my fingerprints on October 27th, 2021 and my background was completed on November 19th, 2021. I looked on my USPS profile account and it says in process/offer phase (ext) … Do you have any idea how long it will be before I receive my orientation start date??
Hello there!! Very useful video! Im from Puerto Rico, I applied to a MA assistant position on May 2021, received conditional job offer july 24 2021... I accepted it and same day did my backgroud check...till this day I havent heard from them but my application status says "hiring list." ... I havent done fingerprints, interview etc... any suggestions?
I did my fingerprints like 2 weeks ago a week ago I got a letter of my background check and haven’t heard anything there nothing on my record and I’m just waiting so what’s next
Hi @Marie! I love watching all of your videos. I have a question that hopefully you or someone here can answer for me. I applied for an MHA position here in Lafayette, La. In July and went in for an interview and fingerprinting on August 12 and She told me that I would receive and email to complete my background check, I did. I’m just curious because I scored an 100 on the 473 Exam and my application status still say in process/offer ext. She did tell me that the process takes 4to 6 weeks. I’m still waiting patiently. Is this how long the process really takes?
I finally got a offer to accept the position, I did and finished all the required stuff only to be told by the Office Manager at the Local PO that there isnt a position avail and I would be put on hold for 4 months. After that I will have to apply again. Its now 4 month and the job i was given isnt there??
I got called yesterday October 4,2023 asking do I still want the job and I should get the email giving me my orientation date. Hopefully they send it to me tomorrow October 5,2023
It depends on the branch you applied and how soon they need the manpower. My hiring process took 2 months even though I live in the busiest city in USA.
Something with minds is weird, I did the background check, it’s saying it’s in the offer phase EXT I never got a letter to due fingerprints at all, my test scores was 97 and 100
I had a similar issue until I looked at the attachment in my offer letter and it had a usps email address to set up fingerprint appointment so it might be that.

Hi Marie. I did my fingerprint on September 29 2020 since then i haven't received email/any orientation letter. my sister applied after me and the process took her only 1 month. Should i email them or call them?
Hi, After my finger printing i got the email from HR saying that please open the document attached to this correspondence and follow the instructions and guidance contained in the attachments. But no document is attached to follow the the directions. The mail says the message is automatically generated and do not respond to this email. It looks like they asked me to do something. So how do I contact the HR? Thanks , Jaya
@@ti_1776 no Tara. When I asked HR about what documents they want. They just sent I-9 form. But I submitted that form during my finger printing. I did not send it again.
Hi Marie I have a question . today I had my fingerprint done.but not the position the one I accepted.but still she took my paperwork and all n that.you think I will get the call or another email regarding the job the one I accepted ??I declined cca and accepted clerk assistant.but still got the fingerprint for cca.wht does that mean?
Hi Delhi, the fingerprint will be applied to the job you accepted. It's a slow process but hang in there and the email will come. I know I felt the same way because it's taking a while.
Question? I just received an email about the date for orientation. Does that mean I got the job or passed my background check? Last thing I did was fingerprints. Didn’t get email about passing background just got one for orientation start date.
Omggg ❤️ God bless you! But i live in Virginia 😩 thank u so much... but please answer my question... I’m scared about if they forgot my drug test! I’m excited about the opportunity... when I applied they said was a full time, but now they told me is seasonal i hope they can bring the opportunity to stay for a while! 😕
Hello Marie. I went for fingerprints for processing and they told me in ten days they will contact me for orientation. then I received another offer from handler position. I would rather the handler position. So if I cancel the processing position for the handler position would I still have to wait the same 10 days? Or will fingerprinting prices etc start over? Please respond thank you so much.
You will start over! But since you already took your fingerprint and NACI you don't have to do it again. Take the PSA position while applying for MHA. Then you can resign from PSA when you got the orientation letter for MHA. Take a calculated steps because you might loose both.
I accepted my position back on October 7th. Did fingerprints 2 days later. I emailed her connect info I had and Still waiting to hear back. Should I be concerned?
I just received my fingerprints invite along with offer letter. But it’s not for the location my interview should I still take it? And will I have to interview for that location as well?
Pls ask them if you will still be deployed to the location you want. My fingerprint, training and orientation are in 3 different places but my assignment is in another location
There should be no gap in the dates of your employment and residence. Or there may be a federal offense you are not aware of. Try to make your own background check if you think you did not have any record.

I sent an email yesterday to HR asking if they need any documents from me to complete the prehiring process. But I have not received any reply for my email. Will they respond to my email or i need to wait? Thanks!
Did u get hired
So I did my fingerprints etc... Already been scheduled for orientation tomorrow morning, but noticed I was supposed to go to the pre hire meeting today but by the time I realized it was too late. So does that mean I cant attend orientation tomorrow?
Go to the orientation and let them know what to do when you missed the pre hire. Give a valid reason okay :)
I got my fingerprint appointment a week ago, hopefully my orientation will be next. When will be the best time to inform my current supervisor about quitting?
How long after your fingerprint session did you receive an invite to this next step? I came in for my fingerprints on 10/31/20 and it's been almost two weeks. We weren't told anything about next steps or anything after the session was over. We were just escorted out of the building and that was that. 🤷🏼♀️
Same i did mine last week been checking my email like it's the New York times
3 weeks
@@MarieAdventure thank you!!
@@tahileebrown5161 did you hear something back? how long did it take?
im having this same issue. it going on 3weeks since ive done my fingerprinting. I have not received a welcome email yet.
I received an email saying I can go for fingerprints any time between 9-3 is it different for mail carrier positions?
all fingerprint procedure are the same. go early, so you can get it done and go on with your day.
How long did you wait for the background check to get cleared? Has been 1 month for me now, Im living in Houston area:(
It took them two months to do my background check.
Have they cleared your background check yet? I already went to do my fingerprints etc. she said all I need to do is wait for them to send me an email now. I’m also in the Houston area
Same boat...any advice?
Your video is very helpful. Thank you so much. I just summit SF85. I’m wondering What’s the next process? They will sent me the date of finger print? How long gonna be take?
So how's your hiring process going on?
Thanks for beautiful update Marie
You are so welcome
How do I schedule for the fingerprint verification I called the number provided and emailed the email they sent the day I got all the emails but I haven’t heard anything from them and it is almost at the deadline they gave me to get it done.
Email the HR, that's what I did.
Man I've done did the fingerprints & photo badge I'd, and I've still haven't heard nothing yet still says IN PROCESS (OFFER PHASE) EXT smh been 4 months.
Wow that was too long, what location is that?
Hi, Marie. You forgot to mention at the why they have the three batches (left, right, and at the back). Why do they separate people like this? Thanks!
They separate them according to the exam score. The highest one gets to pick the schedule they want. The lowest gets what's left.
@@MarieAdventure Thank you so much for the info and quick reply!!!!
Hey Marie, how long was this process when you got the job assignment was it a all day thing? Just asking cause I still have work and haven’t quit my recent job want to make sure I have enuff time to make it back to work. Thank you for your videos once again
Don't quit coz it takes time and also you may want to see first if you will like the job. Its strenuous, long hours, you will work weekends and holidays. You will not be able to live a normal life.

What city and state are you out of? I’m in CA. I applied for MHA today and got a score of 93, and I’m already dying for an email 😂 I also applied for MPA and got a 97, but it’s a temporary position. I’m deciding on which one, if I get offers...
MHA gets more benefits. MPA gets more money but it's a temporary job. There are many applicants they are processing so hang in there, the email will come. For the mean time start working out, the job is physically strenuous. The work is 6 days a week. Prepare yourself for the pain and pressure.

Hi Marie, I have my fingerprinting appointment tomorrow in Los Angeles plant on Central what building do you enter too ? The main building (post office) where the clerks are at or the other building on the right?? I’m confused 😕
The address should say in your email and the building.
Question. I missed my initial 5 day period in October to schedule my appointment for fingerprints. I just scheduled my appointment for this Friday. Does that mean I still have a chance to get in? Also do they make accommodations for those who are disabled? Love your channel
If they let you in, then that's a chance. Regarding with disabled accommodations I'm not sure about it.
I went in for my fingerprints, and the next process was fill out SF-85 background form, unfortunately when I clicked on the link it was not a PDF, or Dox document it was in code xx2f369 text my rep told me to try another computer which I tried on 2 with no luck. I've missed two job offers and can't get another SF85 sent to me. Any suggestions???
You can download and fill it out and send it to your rep www.uspsoig.gov/sites/default/files/docs/security/SF85P.pdf
Is the assessment and the exam the same thing? I’m waiting to get notification to be fingerprinted.
what exam did you take?
Me too I emailed Ms. Campbell to schedule an appointment for my fingerprint, and she replied and said once my name appears on the fingerprint report I would recieve and invite via email, I don't know what this means I'm currently waiting for the email and I don't know what to look out for
I had my fingerprints done on January 29th, have not heard back since. How long is the wait and who can I call?
Ghost busters. 👻 kidding aside, call the HR, tell them you are eager to start as soon as possible.
@@MarieAdventure I am unable to find a phone number for HR that is not just a machine that just hangs up on me and speak with a real person. Do I call the PO where I am to work?
@@PapaShawn70 yes
I took mine in April and still waiting too
Do you have to send an email to USPS to schedule an appointment for fingerprints or wait? PLEASE RESPOND EMERGENCY!!
They will email you a fingerprint appointment. Wait about 2 weeks for it to come.
When i got my offer letter they sent me someones email telling me i have to email someone to setup a fingerprinting
I did my fingerprint today

Best wishes!
@@kshon86 they will get back at you. Just remember that they do thorough backgrounds because you will be working with the government. It took me a while too. Dont forget to check your emails or HR people will call you. I got an email and a call from HR for my orientation. They should be calling or emailing you soon because the holidays are coming the post office will be super busy.
I accepted an offer and didn’t realize how far away it is, I completed the background and have fingerprints tomorrow... what do I do?
You can decline the offer. Email HR if you are going to your fingerprints tell the person you are not going to take the position since its too far from you.
Hey I did my fingerprint screening on Jan 24 and still haven’t received any response since. Do you know what would be the next step ?
They will do a background check.
I did my fingerprinting mid November 2021 and still haven’t heard anything back…
Wow that's taking so much time. Follow up on them.
@@MarieAdventure The main location in my city told me they don't know anything is there some number i can call or email i can make?
What differences are there between a city carrier or a rural assistant carrier? .... I have been offered both jobs and I decided to be an assistant city carrier but I don't know if I did well.
The title speaks for itself. City = you will deliver mails in the city. Rural = rural areas like the suburbs. You don't have to get out of your car as Rural carrier because you will be shoving mails in mailbox 📬 outside the house. City you have to walk blocks and deal with dogs. I personally prefer rural because its more laid-back and you can do it on your own time. City cariers have long hours, supervisor is in your business all the time and you have to carry heavy shoulder bag filled with mails. I hope that helps.
I’m losing hope did finger prints two weeks ago today and still haven’t heard anything
You was very helpful, thanks!
Glad it helped!
Who and how do I contact someone from the post office in regards I did get a job offer phase ext. but did not get the email job offer conditional letter email to accept the CCA job. I did get the GIS background check email but how do go about accepting the job if they did not send the job offer conditional letter email to accept the job?
Before you applied for a job there are branches stated there right? You can call the USPS branch that you applied for.
Hi marie! Can i apply for other jobs while waiting for my background check? Thank you! 🙏🏼
Yes you can!
No you can't . and you can't leave your home either 🤣🤣😂
Do they count the weekend for the 5 days to do fingerprints because I got a notice on 10 Thursday and went Tuesday 15th. I haven’t heard anything and now it’s Friday 18th
It's 5 business days per week. HR has a normal hours.
I did my fingerprints on November 12th... Being that the hiring process is long is it possible I can be hired in December/January as a 360 employee ?
Did it say 360 in the job description
@@MarieAdventure yes it said 360
Is it most likely possible to get rehired after the 360 days?
Ok so right now I currently have an appointment for finger prints but I’d like to know why it says it might take 1-2 hours is the orientation included or why is it so long? Do they interview you at the spot? What should I expect at finger print process? I want to be better prepared. Also I use to have to two misdemeanors on my record, but the got expunged a couple years ago, should I mention that at the finger prints?
Fingerprints is just literally taking your fingerprint. No need to mention about your past.
I took my finger prints the Monday before new year's eve. Im excited and anxious at the same time how long will I have to wait? Arc is what I was hired for
Same here ... got a job offer (jan6) & I do fingerprints (jan11)

Hello , so I was just wondering , how much do they start you of with the hour , and I’ve heard from a worker that starting off is unstable, sometimes they have work sometimes they don’t , u till you make a year or so that’s when you get an official route ?
Seasonal or temporary employees don't have a permanent hours, it all depends on the needs of your branch.
My application went from pre hire to offer phase ext, does this mean I got the job? I already completed assessment, fingerprints, background check, drivers record .
It means you are considered to be hired unless they rescind or cancel the position. When you receive an orientation letter, it means you are hired. Wishing you get the job!
Thank you so much

I submitted my fingerprints on October 27th, 2021 and my background was completed on November 19th, 2021.

A week or two. Keep calm and be patient. Good things will come your way.
Where do o go get our fingerprints scanned because my letter just gave me a email to email them and not a number
they will email you the time, date, location. Keep on checking your email.
I did my fingerprints 2 days ago. I'm a little nervous because I haven't heard anything. Should I be worried with a score of 95
No. The whole process takes 2-3 months.
But how long does it take

I finally got a offer to accept the position, I did and finished all the required stuff only to be told by the Office Manager at the Local PO that there isnt a position avail and I would be put on hold for 4 months. After that I will have to apply again. Its now 4 month and the job i was given isnt there??

hi could you tell me how long a fingerprint for a PSEmail clerk takes its been almost 4 weeks for me
It depends on the branch you applied and how soon they need the manpower. My hiring process took 2 months even though I live in the busiest city in USA.
Something with minds is weird, I did the background check, it’s saying it’s in the offer phase EXT I never got a letter to due fingerprints at all, my test scores was 97 and 100
I had a similar issue until I looked at the attachment in my offer letter and it had a usps email address to set up fingerprint appointment so it might be that.

You will start over! But since you already took your fingerprint and NACI you don't have to do it again. Take the PSA position while applying for MHA. Then you can resign from PSA when you got the orientation letter for MHA. Take a calculated steps because you might loose both.

There should be no gap in the dates of your employment and residence. Or there may be a federal offense you are not aware of. Try to make your own background check if you think you did not have any record.

It's true depending on the location, I used to work from 2am to 2pm 6 days a week.
