Guys, need one quick suggestion -

28th Jan(after 2 days) is my joining date in one of the organisation.. meanwhile I get a call from one of captive company for final managerial discussion scheduled for today itself.

The HR keeps saying you will recieve it today EOD everyday, but no offer letter till now.

Any suggestions? Is this common?
