congrats Mozart, the world is your oyster now, oh! you just got your oystercard to travel the world

One question matey, did you wait for the letter for interview, or did you call them to arrange interview before receiving the letter? I ask because as it's always busy here in London, I hope they wouldn't wait till after 6weeks before sorting me out......(Maybe I'm still thinking like a non-Brit.....hahahaha)

Congrats to Bhumi my darling friend........so which country is it gonna be first with your new oystercard?

Mozart · Post by **Mozart** » Fri Jun 24, 2011 2:27 pm

Hey Allta

I didn't wait for a letter. I called the IPS a week after submitting my application and asked them for the reference number. This allowed me to call the appointments line for an appointment.

You should get the letter about7 days after application.

I wouldn't opt for the London office as the wait is apparently very long. Go for Chelmsford or Luton....depending on what's best for you of course.

Good luck !
