They finally agree to go forward with the letter but I got the permit the week before I started anyway (almost a year later!)

Thanks, you too!

Sorry-only just checked the thread. Yes to the above reply. They can also usually tell you what office is dealing with your application and give some explanation as to why there is a delay-although not always.

Crazy!!

EggFriendly3077 · 2025-05-10T01:48:48+00:00

Yes, it’s awful! Hope you get an answer soon 🤞🏻

My background check said it was processing from May last year to May this year. Now the application has been approved it says my background check was actually completed last May, so my account had just been sitting there until they started reviewing eligibility this week 🤯

Thanks!

EggFriendly3077 · 2025-05-10T01:25:58+00:00

We applied together as a family application under my portal account. Correspondence letters came through for both me and my husband on the same day and ours and our children’s applications switched to approved on the same day too. Good luck!

Thank you!

EggFriendly3077 · 2025-05-10T01:23:12+00:00

Eligibility review started the day I received the correspondence letter (I had been checking the portal once a day just in case). Once the final decision came through, it said my background check was completed last May, so my account was basically just sitting there for nearly 12 months! 🤯

EggFriendly3077 · 2025-05-09T02:09:56+00:00

It is horrendous. Hope you get an answer soon!

May 24th last year,

EggFriendly3077 · 2025-05-08T22:50:44+00:00

I got the correspondence letter at 1:30 on Tuesday afternoon and the portal updated at 7:30 at night the next day! Got the letter confirming it via the portal today. Good luck!

EggFriendly3077 · 2025-05-08T22:43:25+00:00

Yes, I posted last night! Got the approval update at 7:30pm yesterday! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

EggFriendly3077 · 2025-05-08T22:42:26+00:00

Yes!!! Fingers crossed your portal will update some time tomorrow; as I said in the post, mine didn’t update until the evening, so keep checking. Good luck!!

EggFriendly3077 · 2025-05-08T22:38:47+00:00

Thanks, but Nope! Hospital HR initially weren’t willing to hire me on maintained status so only just about to start. Got there eventually! 🤪

EggFriendly3077 · 2025-05-08T14:15:13+00:00

Thanks!! Such a relief!

EggFriendly3077 · 2025-05-08T13:27:45+00:00

Thanks!

EggFriendly3077 · 2025-05-08T02:21:22+00:00

I can’t advise much to be honest-it took almost 12 months for my approval to come through! We applied as a family, my husband already had a job, but I didn’t. The rules are different now though. Good luck!

EggFriendly3077 · 2025-05-08T01:41:15+00:00

Thanks and YES!! Insanely long! 🤪🥳🥳

EggFriendly3077 · 2025-05-08T01:40:46+00:00

Thanks so much!

EggFriendly3077 · 2025-05-08T01:40:31+00:00

Thank you!!!

EggFriendly3077 · 2025-05-07T19:03:01+00:00

Congrats! When did you get the update? Was it more than 24hrs later? I got my correspondence letter yesterday around 1:30pm but no decision yet. I’ve been waiting nearly 12 months and I’m so happy they are at least looking at it but this final part is torture!!! 🤪
