Hi all,
My husband and I have been reading these posts for a while, but first time posting. My husband, Rich, is currently in the process of being hired on as a conductor trainee in Barstow, CA. We've already received the conditional offer, passed the medical requirements, and yesterday (1/7/13) received a copy of his background check from LexisNexis. I believe training is scheduled to begin 2/11/13. On the background check there are some areas on his previous employment (3 previous employers) where is says "Pass", "Eligible", and "Decisional" and we're confused on what that means. Rich is originally from the U.K. and came to the U.S. as a Legal Permanent Resident in October 2012. He has a green card and SSN and is legal to work in the states, but obviously all his previous employment was in the U.K. It appears from the details on the background check that they took a little longer than usual to get the verifications because of the holiday period, time difference from US to UK, etc. Anyway, we were just wondering if anyone knew what it meant by "Pass" for the first employer, "Eligible" for the second, and "Decisional" for the third? We think the reason the third employer was marked as "Decisional" is because Rich was an independent sub-contractor for the company in the UK and was not officially on their payroll, but the company did verify he worked for them as a sub-contractor. He did mention this during his interview, so hopefully it won't be a problem!
Any ideas when the final offer decision will come? Thanks in advance for your advice!
