Hello everyone, I'm an EU student - just finnished my first year now. I have had my work permit since April so that's fine. But i dont have an insurance number and i need it IMMEDIATELY because i want to apply for a living expenses loan (you cant unless you got a national insurance number) and just found out the application deadline is 30th of June.

My question is how long does it usually take to get the number after the interview and is there anyway of making it faster if its not soon enough?

Thank you for reading my question.

[edit] Ive got my interview scheduled for the 17th of june
