UK Border Force

They really do love keeping people waiting. They've got it down to an art form.
Makes me wonder though, although we've been told by others here that the security clearance is at the SC level, SC level checks are said to take about 2 months to process. Can't help thinking then that it'd be a Basic Check (BPSS) they do for us. Whichever it is, I hope they just go ahead and do it quickly and put me out of my misery. At the moment I'm a dead man walking with a tiny hope of light to cling on to.

I got my clearance through last week and I can confirm it's SC. It took 9 days including the bank holiday so it was super fast!

I withdrew from the asylum caseworker process - are you still going to the interview even though you have an offer for the border force officer role?

I'm not sure. I don't trust e-mails telling me I have a job . I trust contracts that are written and delivered. But then both are home office and it costs me £70 to get to London by train at short notice.

Still no reply to my asylum caseworker application - seems guys on here who have been successful and unsuccessful for an interview date have heard - I've heard nothing!

Those that have got interview invite, when is your interview for?

Like alot of others, I too have been closely following this thread. Not gonna lie to you, I have a personal interest in it as I was unsucessful at interview. However, a few issues have cropped up that do leave a lingering doubt in my mind, especially with the undue influence that the employees of Capita played in the slection process and the lack of accountability within that organisation. In my own circle of aquaintances a total of 4 of us made it to the interview stage. 2 of us are non-white and the other 2 are white. Both of my white aquaintances recieved e-mails a couple of days after the interview stating that they had been sucessful. Both of us non-whites recieved negative e-mails a week or so later. My natural feeling then is that after they fulfilled their initial quota of succesful ethnic minority candidates the remainder of us have little chance of success no matter how well we perform at the interview etc.
So....Just out of interest...and I hope you guys don't mind me conducting this little unscientific survey...but of those here that were successful, what ethnicity are you ?

Man that really is super fast. Unusually so. Have you been given a start date yet mate ?

Nope still waiting. But I've got a job at the moment so not too bothered when I start as long as I do at some stage.

Does everyone who was successful for the border force job have a driving license?

yeh a licence was mandatory for the one i applied for. I got sent the medical questionnaire yesterday, no security clearance yet though.

Has anyone applied for the immigration case owner jobs?

I was sent an invitation for the online tests for this job.

Hopefully this time I pass!!!

Do you mean the questionnaire or the actual security clearance result? If the latter, do you get a letter or email?
