Hi there! Any federal PDs here? I was wondering how long it took from submission of background check paperwork to start date. Is 6 months normal? Thank you.

Anyone figured out a good way to keep hearings public? I'm trying to figure out if I can get the courts to post zoom links for hearings somewhere.
