Dear all,
Getting a National Insurance number is even harder than I had thought. You are not allowed to make an appointment when you are anywhere except in the UK. Then they give you an appointment that is almost impossible to go to, because by the time you finally have the meeting at the Job centre plus, you will be back in the Netherlands for the course's lessons. So sadly, I had to cancel the appointment and hope that there is a way that I can get a new appointment soon. Now I wish I had asked for one years ago!
I'm just glad that I have a place to sleep during my stay and that if I can't get the NI number in time, I can at least have the option of doing some voluntary work.
Let's hope for the best.. :)
