    They are incredibly busy at the moment and waits of up to 2 weeks are not unusual atm. I would give them till the end of the week and ring on Friday.

    I got a letter from the OR about a week after BR, asking for the copy papers they needed from me and giving me an interview date some 3 weeks later.

    Did your Court Clerk not tell you how long to wait? Usually they say "the OR will call you in xxx time, if you haven't heard from them by then here's the number to call". Some, like mine, set up a call to the OR's office immediately after your BR, whilst you are still in the Court building. It's just an interim call and I was told then of the timescales.
    When I joined, I needed a name. The forum members gave one to me...I am INAN :D

    Yep also bare in mind that there are 500 staff leaving this month, so if they are a little short with you at the moment I would give them the benefit of the doubt

    Funny - we wen BR the same day, and we have our telephone interviews the same day - only I have been stressing about mine since last Thursday! Wish mine was in the morning, but alas no - 2.00pm.

    Good luck
