I called them this morning, and was told my application reached them as of yesterday, i.e. 8th March. They suggested I call them again in a week's time if I have not recd any further updates as of then. That puts your application at par with mine. Yes, we two seem to be running neck-and-neck... Wou...
Hi global gypsy I called 0300 222 0000 and asked for a status update.

Hello spartac, What I have noticed that from submission (submission day must be a business day) to getting the interview letter is arounf 9 days altogether.

They seem to be approving in batches with applicants generally receiving approvals on Saturdays. I got my approval 2 Saturdays ago, on a day when at least 4 applicants reported getting approvals. Now this Saturday, just about everyone on the forum expecting their approval got it. Interesting pattern...
