    Oh I'm so pleased it went well. 
    Mine was a face to face and lasted 3 hours but it was complicated..I was treated with respect and my examiner was amazing.

    It was 8 years ago....I had properties so complications. 
    Only mentioned it to reassure people. 
    Usually only self employed or complcated BR would have face to face and during this period few and far between I would imagine 
  • This is so good to read. I have had my application to go BR accepted today but I am absolutely dreading the telephone interview. I don’t know why really but the thought of it makes me feel sick to my stomach. 
    However reading your post has given me a bit of hope that it won’t be as bad as I’m imagining.
    Thank you and congratulations on your fresh start. ☺️
  • So are there face to face interviews in this new normal?
