Anyone on the IEC waiting list been called up yet?

Hi All

I am on the waiting list for the IEC visa, I am about 250 off the 7700. has anyone been called up yet? do you think I have a good chance of being called up this summer?

Thanks

I'd say so, especially in the next few weeks. The CALs of the first 3500 that were successful but didn't use them will be expiring during June (based on them doing their IEC in March), so the first few people on the list should be optimistic!

Brill, cheers, Good to get some positive feed back, the waiting game is horrid, but I have everything crossed
Thanks for the reply

Best of luck!! Now the wait!

mad4avisa

same too you, Im hoping it doesnt come through until around July actually ,as Im taking a little trip over at the end of the month, but dont want to activate the Visa just yet, but either way Im delighted, been a year waiting for this. Anyone any ideas how long they take to come through?

Has anyone else on the waiting list had any luck? I'm in the 9000's unfortunately should I give up hope?

I'd say Defo hold out. I think people in the late 7000 and 8000's even got called up and that was just after the first quota dates were up. I would assume once the 2nd round of quotes dates expire they will do more again, and possibly have even more places again once they filter through the rest. Stay positive

Exactly, I know 3 people that all applied in the first round, and none of them decided to do it in the end. No biggie, they're CALs expired and the next 3 people in line got them!

Thanks for the encouragement, we haven't heard anything yet but I suppose no news is good news for now. We're not even sure we'll take up on the visas now after reading some of the stories on here!

Hi all, I've got a WTN 8100 number.... Anyone close to this had the message..?

mad4avisa

I know someone around 8400 who got an email this morning to say they were called up, so hopefully you got one two, you should have anyway :-)

This thread is filling me with some hope. I submitted my original application in second round of visa back in March but unfortunately this was rejected as my scanned passport image was of a blank page within my passport and not of the actual identification page of my passport.

When they sent me the rejection letter with this reason, I resent them a correct copy of my passport identification page, however they advised that my application could not be revoked and that I would have to reapply again. I did this in April and I am on a waiting list but have heard nothing back since. My WTN number is 009388.

I signed up with USIT and have to book my flights now or lose my €199 deposit so I feel like I'm tempting faith! What makes it worse is that my friend got hers and has to be gone in July next year!!

Why on earth did you sign up with USIT, they can't do anything for you except overcharge you for flights and travel insurance . My advice would be to save your money and apply next year.

mad4avisa

Yea from the sounds of things, USIT just charge crazy money to do the same thing you can do yourself. thats bad luck though, probably made you nervous to try again. I know someone who is about 8590 and they got called up about two weeks ago, so id still have good faith you will get a 2nd shot at it, there will be more in September when the 2nd round dates run out id say, I think you still have a good chance

My friend got called up yesterday and we hadn't thought he would have a chance! Hope for all

I stand corrected, my brother was 95** and has been called up. Some amount of people must have not bothered. Frustrating for people serious about emigrating though.

Canada2015

I got called up today, delighted!!

hungryharry

I has num 9979 and got a email saying a place had come up.i thought it a nigerian scam artist first!!Just a quick question,i only created i have sent my 150$ and required documents and was told they would be in touch if in ten days or so.Does this mean if everything go,s well i have a place or are they handpicked depending on quotas or qualifications etc?

hungryharry

They got rid of a lot of the places in the young professionals and whatever the other category was called which is why a lot of people got called up I was also 9000 odd on the waiting list and never expected to hear form them but did. Plus some people would have got rejected I know of someone who was rejected because they had a criminal record for urinating on the street.

hungryharry

Anyone any idea what the waiting time is when you send in stage 2 stuff?

MentalMario

I had to cancel mine (was at the MyCIC stage) last night as I hadn't the Police Cert back from the Guards. Partly my own fault but I'd to call into the station four times before they'd take the application. Bureaucratic bull****.

Should give somebody on the waiting list a place. I'll apply again next year. Must get myself in order beforehand, this time

hungryharry
