Called a couple times on Adviceline number and found them extremely informative and helpful. They provided me with the complete timeline on my application - exact time received, entered on the system, examined, and even when the interview letter was issued. All of this was provided before I ever had the letter in hand. I am impressed with their customer service.
Fingers crossed interview will go without a hitch...Can't wait until I have my sparkling new British passport!
It went OK. Took about 30 mins in total(security to end of interview). Mine was in Glasgow.mah wrote: Hi Khurshid,
You had your interview a couple of days ago. How long did it take and where was it?
Can you tell me what is the process of getting interview appointment?
I think when I get the interview letter I should call one number and I can choose from list of dates and places, is it right?
