I think Amelinda posted somewhere that she does the IP exemptions roughly once/week. Which is better than response used to be, I remember hearing horror stories of up to 3-4 weeks. Assuming you have your information and everything submitted to the right place, I'm sure you'll be playing in no time!
I am a bard, so I soloed most of my 1-50, but I think UGuk is pretty popular. LGuk is less popular, but if you BYOG you can probably do fine. If one of you are a porter, BYOG is super easy!
