    So, out of curiosity i gave hr a ring, well, tried to, they wouldn't speak to me at all about anything regarding my application, they wouldn't even connect me to hr, kept referring me to the website/email.......strange, considering folk that got updates no problem.

    i just thought why not, but to be refused to be even connected to them, however, the girl on the phone asked what the call to hr was regarding,, maybe theyve just stopped taking all calls about applications, because of the volume of folk ringing, who knows? The plot has thickened severely!

    I got through to them via occupational health. I was appealing my medical and checking what I had to do next.
    When I tried it the way you might have they said the same to me...couldn't disclose anything.
    I agree though, some seem to be getting the info really easily!!

    I think if I don't get a call next week I'll reapply again just in case, although I don't really see there being a need for us :) fingers crossed anyway!

    Same here, waiting on the medical & vetting results. If I fail either of those then there isn't any real point in re-applying.

    If you fail the medical appeal it if possible! I did and eventually passed. Good luck :-)

    Maybe they're refusing to take calls this week as they're getting themselves organised to get the 2nd intake into hotel GV and to make the calls. I reckon it's an awful lot of organising, checking and rechecking going on. Besides there might only be a couple of people in the office Just a though but the waiting is killing me

    It's mad - I rang them asking to speak to someone regarding my application as I cancelled a holiday for later in the year just incase I got in and to tell them about change in details and the man on switchboard said there is no one here to deal with applications you'll have to email the website. I hung up and rang back and got a woman who put me through to HR though she did say she couldn't tell me anything about my application or when / if I would be made an offer just that they were starting every 5 week

    funny i'd been thinking the same -- a big problem could be that they only have a few staff dealing with a massive amount of new applications/checks/vetting/paperwork etc etc etc. ... plus we are coming in to what could be holiday season for all the admin staff too..:confused:

    The last four weeks have went fairly quickly but I'm not looking forward to the next seven days. It'll drag in for certain!

    *watches the clock impatiently* roll on next week is all I can say! I was looking through the wait threads for previous campaigns or the ones where people say they're in and it seems like every now and again people don't get a call, they'll just arrive home one day to find a welcome pack on their doormat. Anyone know if his has happened yet this time around for the previous two intakes?

    Did you have your medical this week Sgtmort or last? The guy doing the SMT said it would take a week for them to get the results to the PSNI so you're probably hoping for a call next week like the rest of us! :) welcome!

    Yeah I heard they did the calls the week before my medical. I'm sick with nerves excitement anticipation. I really hate the limbo stage. Wish they'd even say 6 months at least id know. I'm suck waiting trying to sort out childminders etc who need dates etc. nightmare. I hate maybes lol

    Yeah I think if it's if you live upwards of 30 or 50 miles away, can't remember which though, sorry.
