Just go ahead and get it booked. Allow at least 7 days between your medical and interview though.

Allow 2 full weeks between your medical and interview. Most are not being received in 7 days. They had March days open for interview the last time somebody reported. It's in a recent thread.

As Wuozopo above mentioned, allow 2 clear weeks (10 working days) for your medical to arrive. They will say 3-5 days during your medical when you pay but I find that a little too close for comfort for sure.

 

Appointment availability;

On Sunday, the above image on the last post on page 3 was entered showing majority of March still available for an interview appointment :) 

 

If you go onto the interview booking site and process a payment to pay your interview fee, the calendar will open up for you to view. Don't worry when you first register, it'll show the "Next available date" and will probably be within the current week, just ignore it, make a payment and tadaaaah :)
