Davidbj123 Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 I've had my interview 2 and a 1/2 weeks ago now and the Feo said the certificate should be with me within 10 days! Does any one know if there's some sort of postal strike on or just lack of feos to process the work? I'm in the Cambridgeshire area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEshooter Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Hello mate, I had my interview 4 weeks ago. Got told certificate would be in the post within 3 weeks. So every day first thing I done when got home from work was check the post. Anyway the 3 weeks came and went with no certificate, 3 weeks and 1 day I phoned em and got told it could take up to 6 weeks. They have 9 days left and ill be on the phone again, it's like torture.

Oli Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Haha unlucky buddy, yeah your probably right just can't wait aha You should relish that feeling, when you get older when else do you actually get to look forward to something, its like waiting for xmas as a kid. TBH im thinking about applying for my FAC just so i can get all excited about it arriving and do loads of window shopping whilst im waiting.

SEshooter Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Jus been on the phone to the firearms department, it will be 5 weeks tomorrow since I had my interview. Been told it could take up to another 6 weeks to get my certificate through as they are just processing February's applications. It's so frustrating! When I had my interview he told me it would be through the door in 3 weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
