Born Hunter 17,751 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 I had interview in October mate, everything went ok, since then it's been a waiting game. I'd phone your FLO then. AFter the interview it should just be a formality, I've never known the final decision take very long after the interview. Did you have you cabinet installed at the time? They're not waiting on something daft like that are they? 1 Quote Link to post
Tornado1979 145 Posted January 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Cabinet was installed and all passed, I called FLO in December and he said to mail him info and he would speak with office and request they deal with ASAP. I've since spoke with BASC who had contact with manager at the office and they said they are processing back log this was 4 weeks ago. Quote Link to post
