Tips for those fretting:
1. If you have travel plans / an urgent need, do call and write in to let them know. If your case is legitimate they will flag this on your file and do not what they can.
2. If phoning remember the menu sequence to get through to the right team and input the numbers – e.g. 8 then 3 – so as to not have to spend 5 minutes listening to automated messages each time
