My application reached the Home office on Friday (9th October) morning.
I have given my wife's credit card details for payment. I was wondering which would be the quickest way to know if the payment went through or not.
I called the bank on Friday evening and they had no information on any attempted transaction.
Would it be better to call the Home Office directly? Would they confirm over the phone if they attempted payment and if it was successful?
Others with similar timelines, please update your status on this thread or on the relevant thread if there is a separate thread for timelines.

I would say don't sweat on it. It will be fine. Chances of getting transaction block is very rare (unless it exceed your credit card limit).InUkOnHsmp wrote:Thanks Chetan. I made my wife call them twice to make sure they noted it somewhere that this transaction should not be blocked.
But in the end they always add a disclaimer, that this system is automated so it may afterall block the transaction and you can call us back to unblock it, so I guess it will be an unknown till either I can see the transaction on the online statement, or call Home Office and get some status.
If you have used credit card and have access online, you can see reduction in available credit.InUkOnHsmp wrote:Hi busybee,
Unfortunately I have not received anything at all from the HO.
I called them and they said they cant confirm about the payment, I need to speak to the bank. I called my bank but the transaction appears in their system in 2-3 days time after it is made so obviously they have no clue.
So apparently, paying by postal order is even faster than paying by credit card:), unless something went wrong with my payment!
Anyways no use speculating, just waiting for either something to appear in the credit card statement, or some communication from HO.
Good luck with your app busybee.
Cheers
I'm fine !Thanks.InUkOnHsmp wrote:Hey gotcha,
How you doing, not heard from you in a long time.
Anyways, it does not work that way in LLoyds bank online credit card statements. I have heard it works that way for hsbc and many of my friends have been able to determine if their payments were successful using this method.
Alas!
Cheers
I have Lloyds too. You can ring them up and ask. It will take 3 days for the transaction to appear online, but your available balance will be reduced immediately after a successful transaction. Ask what your "available balance" is.InUkOnHsmp wrote:Hey gotcha,
