I paid with my credit card, and I checked today online banking says outstanding transaction £906. So that means that they get the money now? I am quite surprised to see this speed! I have to admit my application is straightforward as I only had 2 jobs in 6 years, I hold PR card as EU national and no criminal records..

All

I am still waiting for application to be considered. I received a letter from Case Worker(CW) last friday asking me to provide a letter from UK Naric for the level of degree and english language. I have emailed him that I have provided the print-out of points based calculator showing points for the level of degree and english language. I have also posted the print-out of the points based calculator.

Me: Level of Degree: 35 Points, English Language: 10
My wife: Level of Degree: 30 Points, English Language: 10

I called HomeOffice on wednesday to check whether caseworker can acknowledge to my email. They couldn't see any notes on my file and they said CW may take sometime to read email. They asked me to callback on friday.

I called them again today and had a word with same person. Still can't see any notes. Then I have asked how do they manage their communication. It seems all email goes straight to their mailbox and they will be filtered by CW using CW's name, applicant's surname and reference number. I did mention that there was a deadline of 13th Oct of which I need to provide a letter and CW has to acknowledge to my email that what I have provided should suffice to make decision.

She said she will make a note of it on my file and hope CW will see it soon.
