Hello rehan.

Your interview had to be rescheduled by UKBA, right? Pls how were you contacted regarding the new date? Was it via email, telephone or post?

I'm currently in similar situation. I have had my interview cancelled by ukba due to the unavailability of the interviewer.

Please respond ASAP. Thank you

No. I have not contacted them.

I was told I will be contacted so I thought it was best I do not contact them till they contact me. Till date, no call or email.

I have a letter to collect at the post office and I'm very worried about what it can be.
