Yes, the details you put into your Kompass at the start of the Application must correspond with your Passport details!

So because I sign my name First/Last on my passport that has First/Middle/Last they have grounds for rejection :eek:

I'm 100% sure that they won't reject you for that, seeing as the passport I'm using this time round is the same as the passport I used to get my last IEC visa and I had absolutley no problem with it and I didn't have my middle name in my signature.

Provided the name you gave them perfectly matches the "Surname" and "Forename(s)" sections in your passport you'll be fine! They don't care about your signature.

Not filling in details corresponding to the Passport can cause grounds for rejection but I'm sure you will be fine Aidan. I don't think they will be that harsh!

But he did fill in details corresponding to the Passport.

What he's worried about is that the signature on his passport doesn't have his middle name in it, even though his middle name is in the "Forename(s)" section of the passport.

Provided he put his middle name into his Kompass account they 100% will not reject him because his signature in his passport doesn't have his middle name in it. Nowhere on the application does it say "Name provided must match the signature on your passport".

It will be ages before I get CAL. My wtn is 2806. People in 500's WTN only getting theirs now. Received receipt of payment and uploaded documents on Sunday 21:00.

It's not in order Eamo.

People have got it before me when they had a bigger WTN number and paid and uploaded their documents after me.

The system they're using is currently unknown.

Plus it's just not the done thing in Ireland to sign your entire name on it-the space isn't even big enough!!

No date has been confirmed by the IEC yet but there are rumours it will be the 29th of March.

They probably won't open up round 2 until they have all the people from Round 1 passed onto the MyCiC stage so it might take a bit longer depending.

Keep and eye on the IEC homepage as they'll more than likely announce it 24-72 hours before they open it as they did with Round 1

Ahhh sorry lads, didn't read it like that. Yea my Passport is signed the same so no worries there

Anyone who gets CAL today... Would you mind keeping us up to date? With WTN and when you paid?

Did you receive the acknowledgement of payment/documents received email before the money left your account?

Yeah.I paid Friday afternoon and got receipt. Then Friday evening got message from kompass saying payment was successful. Payment and documents were locked.
My bank balance showed that money was spent but only left this morning.

Ok cool, I'd assumed they had actually received the money when they said they'd received it (madness!)

Really hope it goes through ok now-hadn't checked my bank balance and it's the week before payday so hopefully there's enough still in it!!

I'd say it has been taken just not left bank yet... or something.not sure how it works. Like if balance was €200. After paying €100 it would say €200 balance, €100 available. Maybe it's just Ulster bank being slow to update.

Skalragg · 19-03-2014 3:52pm

Got this email back from IEC Kompass about not being able to submit my passport and CV

We are actively working on resolving the issue that you are experiencing. Note that you will be informed of any updates and that of your application through the "My Messages" section of your Kompass account. You will not be affected from possible delays resulting from the technical issue.
Thank for your understanding.

While it's frustrating, apparently it will not affect my chances...

If you're not in IT, Construction or administration, I personally don't see the point.

I'm a designer and there never seems to be much orientated in that regard.

Yeah wasn't too sure on it myself... never been to any of them before. Looking for HR-related work so don't know if it would be a waste of time

Skalragg · 19-03-2014 4:20pm

Will there be IT companies there? or is it simply usit giving a talk?
