Those who applied through NCS and got 13 digit number having some alphabets and being told to check the status online on royal mail website so after submitting your application when did roughly you got the status online means after how many days that its been delivered to UKBA ? Like I have been told that we will send it by recorded delievery via royal mail and they gave me that reference no and yesterday I have submitted he application so today I checked again and again online the status so its showing nothing.

I applied on the 4th of Feb which was a Wednesday, UKBI got it on the 9th which was the following Monday. I did have to phone them up (I did this on the 9th when it was showing as delivered anyway) as they got the number wrong when they initially gave it it them so if nothing after a few days, it may be worth following up.
