Immediately after Paul encounter with Jesus, he went straight to the field work.
Galatians 1:16-17 NIV
to reveal his Son in me so that I might preach him among the Gentiles, my immediate response was not to consult any human being. I did not go up to Jerusalem to see those who were apostles before I was, but I went into Arabia. Later I returned to Damascus.
Only at later stage he went to Jerusalem and met up with the apostle to kind of get "certification" . The later took Paul 14 years.
Galatians 2:1 NIV
Then after fourteen years, I went up again to Jerusalem, this time with Barnabas. I took Titus along also.
Galatians 2:2 NIV
I went in response to a revelation and, meeting privately with those esteemed as leaders, I presented to them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles. I wanted to be sure I was not running and had not been running my race in vain.
