Good luck Katelyn!! I really hope everything goes well, sending good vibes to you!!
Meanwhile our LINE group chat of applicants here is freaking out about if we got in or not, it's 6pm here so let's hope for some news on Monday... ;_;
It's excruciating to know that Tokyo has the final lineup but our embassy doesn't have it/won't tell us yet aaaggghhhh
Someone please give us some spoilers already 😭

I've also been wondering whether my consulate already has our placement info. Waiting is so hard

update: my papers made it in time. thanks for all the worries guys. :') i saw on reddit that a 2021 applicant from australia has already got their placement. so i'm hoping we find out in the next 2-3 days?? but they're the only person to post, so maybe it's an anomaly, otherwise the whole forum would be blowing up by now. cherry i hope you hear back soon--and with good news!

Aaah I'm glad your papers arrived!! Good good!
Yeah I saw it as well, I was thinking the same about how weird it is that we only saw one person get their placement?? I'm so tired of waiting, please end our suffering... Thank you for the kind words TT Hope you get the placement you want!!

Aw man, I saw it too and thought the same thing! Also is a bit worrying that the 2020 deferrals don’t have their placements yet, but I’m hoping we’ll all get the e-mail this week or next week. Congrats katelyn on getting that sorted out! See, it wasn’t so bad in the end hue Now back to refreshing my e-mail for the 2,345th time this week _(:3 」∠)_

Because noone else got any news... Woops. And I feel you on the refresh key, also might I add having a heart attack everytime you hear the email notification on your phone? Hmm? Lmao

Almost a year of waiting for this, then waiting for that...waiting to see if I'm accepted, waiting for my background check, waiting for my placement, waiting for my placement to contact me, waiting for the farewell reception.
JETTO is mostly waiting.

Placements are pretty much coming out in the same country order as interview results, so I'm kinda leaning towards Friday now (but still hoping for Thursday).
I've been having placement stress dreams all week but I also watched a true crime video right before bed, so the resulting dream was very strange.

Please do tell us about your dream, I'm curious and could use a distraction hue Was it something like you landing in the middle of Hokkaido and discovering a body behind city hall?

Please do tell us about your dream, I'm curious and could use a distraction hue Was it something like you landing in the middle of Hokkaido and discovering a body behind city hall? Worse-- I was living in NYC and my family was part of organized crime. I had been a clean-up person my whole life but since this was gonna be my last "job" before turning over a new leaf as a CIR, my cousin offered to do the clean up for me. Cousin did a sloppy job, police were notified, and then my whole family fell under investigation. The rest of the dream was just me going between feeling super stressed/paranoid about getting caught and losing my CIR offer and resigning myself to future jail time. The only nice part of the dream was that CL**R sent all CIR shortlisters this really elaborate, National Geographic-like book that had pictures and details on all the COs for that year. For the rest of the week, I think I'm gonna watch happier things before I go to sleep.

You have a way more active imagination than I do! hue I also had a dream related to placement worries, but mine was just that I suddenly got an e-mail that I was placed in a very cold and remote village in Hokkaido, which is kind of a fear of mine I guess. (Just not a fan of the cold/snow, nothing against it otherwise.)

Our coordinator let us know that we're getting placements on Friday, so unless other U.S. consulates are on a different schedule, that should be our big day!

I'm so excited for you guys! I kind of wanted to go rogue and 勝手に contact my successor (my last work day was a couple weeks ago, but my CO already knows the successor candidate info) but my CO said they won't send me their info until it's actually okay to contact them hue. I'm curious to read their application too tbh hahah.

I know that for the interview result announcements and non-deferred 2020s for example, some consulates were a day off than others.

ATL so I'm expecting the same thing as interview results-- we'll probably get our emails a little later in the day than the other consulates.
