You can apply for them now and have them sent to a trusted person to mail them to you. That may be easier than trying to get them while you are overseas.

If you are trying to fly overseas from USA on a tourist passport, you will not be able to enter many foreign countries. I am in Europe and went home on emergency leave. I had no issues returning to the states, but I had many many hurdles returning to EU. Your orders allow you into the foreign country (regardless if Americans are currently flagged a...See More

Being pending in multiple areas is still better than being pending in one/two areas because it should still increase the potential number of referrals you receive/eligible for (and in theory, increase the chances to interview/receive an offer).
HelpOthers
I agree. Just having the areas listed will get you on referral lists. If you make a referral list for a position you are not "qualified" for, they are supposed to review it. So, if you make a referral list for MS, check again to see if the status has changed.

2. Would you be allowed a compassionate reassignment before that time is up? How is your reassignment duty station decided if you do not need to go to a specific area (ie; child ...See More

Thank you, @HO! I was hired in early July as an internal hire and it still took me until mid October to report after quarantine time (yes, really). So, qualifying for RAT is basically the equivalent to completing your contract?
HelpOthers
Yes. It is Renewal Agreement Travel. This means you are renewing your contract. If you are in a one-year RAT location, you still have to complete two years before they will pay to send you back with all your items etc (I think).

If you time it right, the column to the right of the transcripts and educators certificate has the next school-year. If you do it too early, it will only have this school-year 2020-2021

Include everything that would be in your resume into your application. Use the narrative portion (only free-write space) to include anything not included elsewhere. You can offer to e-mail a copy of your resume whenever you are asked to interview.

Not if he's already fully employed. The spouse is a federal employee. Spouses can use vet's preference in some limited situations. This does not appear to be one of them.
Double check obviously.

Your spouses' vet preference does nothing for you. Your spouse being a federal employee MAY help if employed in a location where a DoDEA school is located and where family preference based on civilian employment counts. Yes, It seems more people are leaving this year than most and because there is no transfer round, people can be hired from CONUS i...See More

Thanks. I took your advice and checked with them about secondary social studies and English. Turns out I'm already qualified for social studies, and I only need 3 credits for English; I just signed up for an English class a few mins ago. My question is this: since I'll probably finish the English class within 3 weeks, if DODEA sends out their annua...See More

No problem. Generally, the best idea is to apply and get your EAS processed as soon as possible. You can always go back and add a target date and/or ask for your EAS to be reevaluated.

I am in the UK, I should probably change my alias to something more discrete but I tend to never say things that are very provocative anyways.
I had my interview in April, job offer two weeks later, passports in July (worst part) and arrived here August 10. It was so complicated and parts of it were truly anxiety producing (background che...See More

Well. I also interviewed for a position in the UK. I'm at the background process and have already mailed my passport info to the passport division. Juat a little ahead of the ball game. I too have pets and will be getting them checked in a few weeks at the base vet nearest me. I'm quite excited, but don't want to get caught up and run out of time. ...See More

Yes, you have the job.
But no, do not make any major financial commitment. Don't sign any contract, make any deposit, or do anything else that has serious consequences for your financial health should the firm offer not materialize. I think this was explained in your tentative offer.
Wait for the orders.

Thank you both for your responses. Just so you know, no skeletons or shady spy/underworld activity to found in my background check. Lol I just want to be prepared once I get my firm offer, fingers crossed. I have passport paperwork already turned into HR person and pet vet appointment with the military vet nearest to me. Thank you again!

Thank you! Actually thinking about lwop as a way of getting out of our current location. In that case I can't be in pay status, not even a day, I assume. Do I have to fully resign? If I resign I have no rights to return to my current position if nothing else pans out, correct? Is there any poc for these rather specific questions? Thanks again!
Icanread
A union rep in my area said LWOP hasn't be granted for a CONUS teacher in well over a year- not sure if it's true or not. Also if you take LWOP, you are supposed to be placed back in a position in your current location, unless you are following your spouse who is PCSing to a new location.
