I sent an e-mail yesterday, got a call back today they had problems wit floodin and the post aswell, my forms only went to the security office today but with the holidays it may be the week after next before they send out the link. And this came from the head hauncho, the one that signs all the letters we've received at the bottom.

Yes I got a phone call today from recruitment as well, just saying that they received all my info and checking if i'd received the link yet - once I told them that yes I'd received it and filled everything in and submitted it they were happy enough and told me just to wait for further info

Yea still mine to do, fired off an e-mail on thursday called me on friday said we have your forms (disruption caused by floodin) said if no e-mail by end of week give them a call, i did however receive a certificate for the advanced disclosure checks from access NI and its all good, anybody else get that?

hello all,

been following everyones progress, well done to all, no matter how far you've got in the campaign. Just heard last week I'm in the 1st 50, have completed my ctc and got my accessni form back too. Does anyone know how long the ctc form takes to come back and what the medical involves ? also is there a physical, thanks !!

Hi ya, Congrats on being in first 50. The medical will probably involve substance misuse test, eye test, hearing test, flexibility and prior medical history check. In terms of the CTC - the time scales can vary so could be longer for one person than the other. Dont think there is a physical
Is this your first time applying for NIPS

Thanks Euros1,

Yes 1st time applying, fingers crossed! What about you ? First time ? Bit wary of financial checks as a certain telecommunication company made an error charging me for something I never received and it went to a debt collection agency, hope this doesn't go against me !

Heres hoping, I even have an email from the company in question apologising and saying the money would be refunded etc etc but just last week the debt co sent a letter so I have now forwarded the email so I'm hoping thats the end ! Just panicking over the slightest thing at this stage !

well good luck euros1, where are you on the list this time ?

Hopefully a letter or a phone call telling you they have a place with your name on it - also a bit more information on the package wouldn't go amiss 67j

would the medical not need to be done first ?

could this possibly be the longest 2 weeks ever !!!
