    I had my interview on the 11th of this month (2 weeks this Wednesday) haven't heard anything yet. I guess It's just a waiting game now. Application status also says "sent to screening"...................... ...

    True. They might change it later on. As long as I have a job there I don't care what I'm doing.

    Yep. Very close to stratford about 10 mins by bus. How about yourself?

    Is anybody going to their interview tomorrow? I have mine at 2:30... I'm planning on getting there for 2. Do you think this will be alright?

    What do I do when I get there? Mine's at Upton park. I guess I just sign in? I'm taking my passport, birth certificate, bank statement, driving license, NI Card and bank account details... I hope this well be alright! Any more tips for the interview?

    Thanks! I'm quite looking forward to it.
