Guys anyone from feb whos applied for extension Non-JR and got their passport back, please share your timelines .....

HO seems to have accelerated the processing process as they will be recieving a lot less applications from April 1st due to new rules ......


Good luck to all waiting ....

Why don't you call up the bank and find out if there was any attempt made to debit the application fee by Home Office. It might be outstanding.

I would advice you to trace with the bank before contacting HO.
