Thanks. I have received an acknowledgement email with a case number. Got it the next day after submitting and paying online. Awaiting biometrics now. Keep us in the loop re. TLSContact... I honestly thought that would be a smooth process, considering the fact that I know many people have gotten their biometrics taken for visa applications. Perhaps its complicated by the fact that its a citizenship application
Wow yours was fast. Mine only came a week or so later.
Yeah, when I did my visa it was really simple, but that is because one can book the visa appointment online. So you get a date immediately. This - there is no online booking functionality. You just send an email to an address and hold thumbs for a timeous response.
Was an automated response with a case number... probably came quickly because their systems detected I applied online. The online application for UKF is fairly new. Went live on 19 July 2018
5 August 2018 -> Applied and paid online
6 August 2018 -> Acknowledgement received via email with case no
6 August 2018 -> DHL'ed documents to Liverpool
9 August 2018 -> Documents arrived and signed for
Rest is pending.... waiting for instructions re. biometrics.. but assuming this could take a while. So trying to be patient. Patience is the hardest part
