Among those who scored the same, it is then ranked by date of getting on the register. DoS calls the top 18 (or so) people who are available every 6 weeks. But people are always being added. It's static. Language bumps the score up. A little or a lot. German = a little. But every bit helps.I'll Take Mine...https://www.blogger.com/profile/12422853320873218506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2885312140856145961.post-85533099007336340882010-04-09T16:13:35.542-04:002010-04-09T16:13:35.542-04:00I'm not familiar with how it works to get into...I'm not familiar with how it works to get into the FS, so can you explain what the 129 means? I'm guessing it's a ranking process, but not clear on what that means for his prospects. Thank you and I'll keep fingers crossed for you that he gets accepted soon. By the way, I speak/read German fluently, but I live in Seattle, WA or I would gladly give tutoring lesson! :)Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01633849034279365635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2885312140856145961.post-53221315566246533842010-04-09T11:23:29.487-04:002010-04-09T11:23:29.487-04:00It's Friday, and that means that the Two Month...It's Friday, and that means that the Two Month Blogiversary of the Weekly State Department Blog Roundup is up - and you're on it!<br /><br />Here is the link:<br /><br />http://bit.ly/aZJeOz<br /><br />(If I quoted your text or used your photo(s) and you would rather I had not, please let me know.

But regardless, I feel your pain...what's his ability in German? Could he go all out for 2 mos and pass? I'm planning to hire spanish conversation partners and push hard for about 2 mos and then see how it pans out. <br />I too have to laugh at your posts, even when they are frustrating/sad, you are so humorous. Good luck.Bfileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17657766918735380467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2885312140856145961.post-65033370770593538922010-04-08T22:51:42.183-04:002010-04-08T22:51:42.183-04:00Okay - so I shouldn't laugh - I feel for you T...Okay - so I shouldn't laugh - I feel for you TOTALLY, but this post made me crack up. I showed it to my husband - he laughed too...and then said, "Well, it's not like he's 129 out of 129 is it?" My husband almost never got called because....well, it's a long story, but I am writing this from our first post so I can say - It WILL happen and we will be so, so happy for you all when it does. I don't know you, but hugs anyway.
