  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44 Sjh191


    Still waiting from the Jan 2016 campaign.
    PCT completed since July 2017 ( deferred once).
    Really unlucky with the vetting process:(
    Had to re do medical due to time lapse (12 months) and meet local super and Seargent again...

    Frustrating to say the least but still holding strong and have everything crossed for April!

    Constantly on to them, I’m surprised they don’t have my number blocked at this stage.
    Iv given up calling because it’s nearly harder to hear the same answer over and over...

    Im in a similiar situation. I done my medical 13 months ago. I am still waiting on vetting to clear. I did not realise the medical was only valid for 12 months? Does 12 months also apply to the pct?

    To be honest I don’t know. I would imagine it’s the same. So I’m hoping I get April, if I don’t it will be 12 months since my pct before the next Intake rolls around.

    Yes, low 600s and still waiting. I will give them a call at the end of this month to ask about my vetting.

    Sept 16, oom mid 500s, pct and interviews all complete since July. Vetting still not finished 👎🻠Never deferred or postponed anything, is this a normal wait time? Because I know someone in the 600s who got in last intake.

    Afraid it is. Vetting is a variable down to they person, their family, their history and a ball of other factors. Some get done slow whole others are lucky.

    Crowlers, at some point hrm will send your file to local station. It depends when that's done and how long it takes them. Vetting interview, medical, pct, and the tart of being done by crime and security follows. Order is not set and timescales ate variable.

    The only option you have is to plead your case to HRM and ask considering the circumstances would it be possible to get an extension on supplying the documentation. If I recall correctly, it’s normally a week they allow you to submit documents after interview. I understand it takes time to get stuff from different agencies but you just need to get on the phone like crazy on Monday and get them to courier what you need or if it were me, I wouldn’t leave it to chance and I’d fly over to get what I needed. A bit extreme but it all depends on what HRM day to you.
    Best of luck and hope it works out.

    I was told that the next intake will be the 16th of April with induction the first two weeks of April. But H.R.M seem to give a different answer to everyone.
