Hi there! I just received my DL and very thankful for this forum as it helped me learn a lot just by reading through all your posts. I took my CBT last 28th of April and submitted all my documents a month later. I have received a letter from NMC saying that my assessment started last June 11. I, together with a number of you here, uploaded documents in JPEG format that is why I was a little nervous. Last night, I received a letter from them saying one of my reference form has a discrepancy and I needed to clarify it (My referee is currently working in the UAE and they wanted to know why the name of the institution that I placed on my form is different from the one she is presently in). I emailed them last night fully explaining that she left the hospital that we worked for and found a job abroad (same time that I was applying for a job in the UK). In short, I was very anxious as I thought I will be placed again at the bottom of the queue When I woke up this morning..lo and behold..I found my DL waiting in my inbox (well, not necessarily as I have to download it from the portal)... I hope that is the end of my waiting game. How long do I have to wait for CoS? Any idea? Thanks and good luck to all those who are going to take the CBT and for those who are waiting for their DLs! Patience is, after all, a virtue.
