How long did it take from reference check to the next contact about the position?

I got notice of entering security clearance on Jan 10th, it took about 5 weeks from that point, not sure about references.

Hear interviews are week of 8 May. There are over 50, nearly 60, on the job or in training. Story is more are needed before civilians can go into T2 because of passenger growth and new routes

What promotions are you talking about? Was there an internal promotion?

I'm a Clerical Officer in the Department of Social Protection for last 18 years and have been called for interview for the Immigration Control Officer in May. Does anyone know if I was to be successful at the interview etc, can I carry all my previous service? I've heard that the most you can carry is 10 years. Any advice appreciated.

Sup08

AFAIK, You can carry some service but it would be best if you ask PAS, they should be able to give you a definitive answer.

Avada

It's civil service to civil service, so I don't see why your service wouldn't carry.

As far as I am aware all your service carries. It will be a transfer of department. Just make sure you work directly with the Dept. Social Protection and not a local office (like sub post office). If it is a local office I don't think it carries.

Yes, you can carry all your service for pension purposes. When you are transferring from one Dept.to another you lose your service for seniority purposes only (some exceptions). It's not an issue if the move is a result of a promotion as you start building up your seniority in the new grade.
