A thread to keep each other up to date about where we all are in the process
They contacted me in October and then last week for a bit more info on a couple of things I didn't go into enough detail on so hoping it's a sign that it's nearing completion
I haven’t heard nothing at all and it’s been 8 and a half months! Don’t know if its a good thing or bad thing 😂😂
Same, I’m remaining only as a matter of principle now. It’s truly extraordinary that it takes close to a year (and more) for a background check. Only in NI.
Are you just waiting on a call now?
Still hanging on nothing more since my vetting cleared
I’m on the same boat as you
https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/2025_2026_student_officer_intake#incoming-2931334
this should hopefully get answered soon and give us all an idea of where we'll be
The request was put in on the 25th feb? I wonder why they haven't yet responded
hi,
I am only new to this site, as I see you’ve all been successful..
Any tips would be amazing ☺️☺️
That got answered today. i do not know how your merit list has increased in size. Am I not correct in saying it was down to the 100’s at one point?
It was queried with recruitment. 80 people since beginning of Feb reopened their applications and are now back in the merit pool
Didnt even know you could do that.
same, bit annoying but what can we do lol
Hopefully for your sake, they honour the ones that have stayed in and put those 80 to the bottom of the ML
I really hope so, would seem a bit unfair that they withdrew and then overstep us that have been waited and committed to the process
anyone on here been for a vetting interview.? What it’s like or what it entails?
I would be interesting to know how many out of the remaining candidates are appointable and how many are awaiting vetting outcomes.
I would highly doubt there are people from the 21 campaign still to do a medical, PCA etc. Surely it would just be vetting?
Get used to waiting!
vetting, approaching a year.
11 months my vetting took to clear
I'm waiting since July on vetting, had additional information request 2 weeks ago, hoping to have clearance soon
Are you in gv yet?
no, awaiting start date
🤣🤣🤣
When do we think the next calls will be going out?
2027 😂😂😂 hopefully soon though
I would imagine this week if they are to run a may course. They want to run the 10 courses they have projected this year, they need to run a course every 5 weeks 😊
hahahah made me LOL….sounds about right tho 😂😂
I’m telling myself it has to be this week to keep me sane, if calls go out tomorrow I’ll have myself convinced it’s an April fools! 😂😂
My vetting was approved last week also so just waiting for the call whenever that will be
