Got their post on the 17th of Feb w my NI number, and now i`m waiting for my NI card..said it could take up to 6-8 weeks ..
Yup ... phone up your local Jobcentre+ ... an appointment will be arranged for you to attend a short interview - bringing along your passport and proof of address. Your National Insurance Number will be sent to you within a couple of days ... and the 'Card' should follow a few weeks later - depending on how busy they are.
