OP here.  Yes, it is for an attorney position.  Can you provide any more information as to why attorney applications are always "referred to the selecting official"?  [/quote]

9:50 here.  The way it's been explained to me is that because it's an excepted service position, HR doesn't really review the applications. I think as long as you make the basic qualifications (years of experience, licensed, submit the required docs, etc), you're referred.

Full disclosure - I'm a current fed att'y looking for another job myself, and have applied to many agencies already. Although I met the basic qualifications for each posting, several applications were 'reach' positions where I had little to no background in that area of law, yet for each job I have been referred to the selecting official.
