Thank you Greenie, that's a relief.

Sent on the 3rd, assumed arrived on the 4th, opened on the 5th and put in the 'in' pile. There's then 3 working days between then and now. I'd be surprised if you get a response this week, but that's me. Did you send it recorded delivery so you have proof of delivery? M. Yes I sent it recorded and ...

Hi all, I've just applied and am waiting for acknowledgement letter. Then I will write my timeline shortly after that :D Question: Why does everyone seem so excited about the biometric letter?

Hello everyone! I sent my application last week on 3rd April and UKBA received it on the next day. I haven't received an acknowledgement, and the money has not been deducted yet. Looking at the waiting time thread, people seem to be getting initial response within a few days. Is this something to be...

I printed off the app...
