I was interviewed at Portsmouth Office:

arrived 15 min earlier
was Saturday, very nice lady in the reception
asked me to wait then a gentleman asked me go to section 4 where he started to ask me all the typical questions: your name D.O.B ....ETC
Lasted 15-20 min finally asked to sign the electronic pad

then shake hand and I had the passport on Monday :-)

Good luck

your first British passport application can be rejected if you have poor credit rating? even if you dont have any CCJ?

Still waiting to hear from HMPO. Hopefully this won't delay the passport too long. I am assuming we won't have to do the interview all over again! :(

I went to Portsmouth Office for my interview on 3rd Dec. There's a receptionist on the ground floor and he'll direct you to the lift on your right and the passport office itself is in the 8th floor. You'll be asked to switch off your phones when you arrive there and your letter will be collected at the desk and you will be told what to expect at the interview and the reason for it then you will be asked to sit at the reception for few minutes depending on what time you arrived. Then you will be asked to come for the interview which is just on the right of the front desk. I was only there with one other person and it's not busy at all. My interview took only about 5 mins.[/quote]

Thank you Lukky
