  • I'm sure that mine took more than 2 days to call. The call lasted less than half hour and it was the only one

    The Clerk at the court told me my OR would ring me later the same day which she did and she gave me a time/date for telephone interview which was about 10 days later. Call took 1.5 hours (don't know why - my circumstances are not complicated) All OR's are different - maybe the examiner at your OR office in on holiday - could be a bit of a time lag cos of the Bank holiday? They will call you soon enough but look up your local OR office phone number and if you haven't heard from them by next week, give them a call - there is nothing worse than hanging around waiting. :)
