So I have my appointment this Thursday. Any advice before going in there? I'm going purely from MMPI results.
MMPI-2 Tier 2 Process
- Thread starter kx
- Start date
Theres really no reason to be nervous. Also, I was expecting my psychologist to be very personable and easy to talk to, but mine was just awkward. If you think about it, psychs deal with the deranged on a daily basis so its no surprise when they are dealing with a normal person that it could be awkward. Just relax.

Thanks and yeah I really have nothing to worry about but it does make me a little nervous. I think I had too many "in between" answers on simple questions

I just had my appointment last Thursday. I think it went fine but I feel you just never know with the FAA. I know it's in this thread somewhere but what the wait time from now until I hear something?
From what I am reading 3-4 months to hear back, and then a few more months to get fully cleared. But I have seen someone else from on here say they've been going on 5 months without a decision post-appointment.

Did anyone else get this email as well? Is it just them sending a warning out or does it mean I may have some serious medical problems?

It means exactly what it says. If you fail the tier2 your current medical is revoked.
Not trying to sway your decision but I have never seen anything like this on this thread (giving someone a heads up prior to proceeding with the tier 2 process). I almost wonder if they are hinting something to you. Idk what I would do in that situation. If they DQ you, you can appeal but you will lose your class 2 meaning cant work at your fct in the meantime. Thats rough.

Just sucks because I just missed the last bid, but I don’t really understand how I would be any different from someone else who gets flagged on the MMPI I mean I didn’t think it was that bad.

I’m pretty sure the MMPI results are good for 2 years l don’t think you can’t just retake it if you were T2 on a prior bid. I would ask what the process would be for future FAA employment if you decide to withdrawal without clearing T2.
Also, I seriously doubt the FAA is hinting at anything. That would require the FAA to put any thought behind the hiring process or the individual applicant.

I would start applying to DoD positions (if you’re prior experience, or for anyone reading this in the same position). DoD controllers do not use the FAA Class 2 medical. Each branch has their own medical that must be passed before employment.

Currently just past 5 months from appointment, still waiting.
I see this tread is a few years old, which may serve to answer some of my questions. I imagine wait times have only gotten worse since 2020, but did anyone from the 2018 discussion end up finishing the tier 2 process? How long did it take in total? I have now been waiting about 8 months since my AF records were confirmed to have been received on the FAA's end. Does anyone have a ballpark idea of how long the line is these days?
I’m from the ‘21 prior experience bid. Been waiting 15 months for my eval and still don’t have it scheduled.

I was from the Jan 2020 bid and just had my Tier eval last month. I've heard it's a few months left for me before I even know.

Same bid as you, I had my eval in April and still haven’t heard back.

It's crazy but I'm not surprised at this point.

Agreed. At the current rate I wouldn’t expect anything until Feb-March. at the earliest. Then again maybe they’ll get caught up and the wait will be less but I wouldn’t count on it.
