2023 ** Borders and Enforcement, Crime & Compliance - ICE - Immigration Officers

I applied for Cardiff, don’t see me getting into Border force Cardiff anytime soon, so thought I’d give this a go.

Saw ICE and regular IO's being advertised and applied yesterday. Anyone else going for it? There look to be over 300 vacancies across the UK, I'm in Northern Ireland so no doubt there will only be about 5 vacancies here!

Where you read that??….Ive also applied for the Border force Jan 23 run and received an email to wait out on the Sift for that one as it will take a while 🤨

Missed that myself…Thats alot quicker process than the Border force campaign it seems!

Hi, for anyone in Northern Ireland. I applied last year for immigration officer in a previous campaign. Was on the reserve list for 3 months and got offered belfast. Offer was about end of January time. Checks ongoing, potential course for may time as far as I’m aware. No idea how many posts there is in NI, I wouldn’t guess there is many

Congrats, can I ask what you scored at interview, just so I have an idea what I need to get an offer? Also, I take it you have to haul your ass to England for the course, any idea how long it is? I'm on a reserve list for an AO position with immigration enforcement......saw this and decided to apply, there are part time vacancies in Belfast so that suits me.....any time I enquire with Border Farce none of the jobs in Belfast are part time.

I scored 24, strong demonstration. I think they literally pick off the top list for the scoring for the interview. Yeah it’s literally back and forward to England for a few months. Initial is 4 weeks, back home for a few weeks and then back over for another 4 weeks and possibly more course dates.

The only good thing is you get supplied with a work laptop and phone & home office pay for your travel home each weekend and accommodation etc. I am expecting a date for the 17th April if all completed by then but failing that there is another towards the end of may

Yeah shame about the travel....thanks for the info bro, hope you get a date soon and good luck on the course

The most annoying thing is lack of information from the home office, they’ll update your profile but not actually tell you what they are doing.

From offer to hopeful start date it’ll be about 3 months

Yeah, I'm working for UKVI and you'd see an update....but nothing to say what they were doing. For me from offer to start date was around 1 - 1.5 months, but then I didn't have to wait on a course. I take it your interview was strengths based? I have a friend who recently did a BF strengths interview, couldn't really prepare for it, questions like "what is your biggest regret" etc etc

There’s an online Teams call about this job tomorrow 6-7. More than 200 people were on it last time, very interesting and helpful.
