Called a couple times on Adviceline number and found them extremely informative and helpful. They provided me with the complete timeline on my application - exact time received, entered on the system, examined, and even when the interview letter was issued. All of this was provided before I ever had the letter in hand. I am impressed with their customer service.
Fingers crossed interview will go without a hitch...
Can't wait until I have my sparkling new British passport!
