Do you always have interview when applying for first passport? got text message saying as per below but never had interview invitation letter.

Her Majesty's Passport Office: Thanks for applying. Unless we contact you, we'll deliver your passport by 29-Dec or 5-Jan if it's your 1st passport.

For passports via JCAP there is no interview required.
I applied straight after approval, didn't get an SMS but attended interview, but still just 7 days.

I applied on-line maybe that made a difference - or it's just random.

You may get a call asking you to attend an interview. Unless you apply through JCAP you should expect to be interviewed.

Only time will tell.
