Today's post included two job applications, DH's provisional driving license, and an offer for a Glamour magazine subscription.
Have you had your interview yet & if so what was it like? And where? The Durham office was handling my application.
I had my interview Monday morning (was SHOCKED that they could offer me a Monday appointment when I only called on Saturday!) in Newcastle city centre. On the sheet they sent, it says the Yorkshire offices are in Kingston on Hull, Leeds, Sheffield, York, and Scarborough, so you'll be able to choose amongst those.
It took about 15 minutes -- I had to spell my name, give my birthdate, address, country of birth, parent's names and birth dates, date I became a UK citizen, give my last address, say how I applied for my passport, say how I knew my professional referee and what his job is, and list any credit agreements associated with my current address (they check your credit report for info as part of their background checks).
It was all very straightforward -- the only weird bit was when I was signing my name at the end. The lady said something along the lines of, "Still getting used to the new surname, then?" and I was like, "Uh, no. I've been married nearly five years, as evidenced by the marriage certificate I included with my application." I think she was trying to trip me up!
