2 weeks and Easter weekend in that time too. Lots of applications would probably have been made st end of March before the fee increase on 6th April. Be patient, it will progress.

There's no pattern to their process it seems. Nevertheless it is little reassuring that I am not the only one in it. Not a good thing per se but reassuring.

Good luck to us all

There is, with a small sample telling us they have approximately 7,000 applications per month. I'd not worry if we are a bit delayed.
