Folks, I have an interview today, can you please tell me what do I need to take with me i.e. passport, ID etc.

The invitation letter doesn't say anything on this front.

Just the letter

Is the Durham office processing swiftly this year or is it chaotic like last year? Would you advise applying to Peterborough instead? Special Delivery or Check/Send?

Many Thanks and Best Wishes to everyone in the thread.
