Calling post applicatants & paid by Bankers draft - Feb/

[vignezh]

Hi All

I submitted my application for extn with 1 dependant by post on 12th March and it was received on 13th at the HO. I am eagerly awaiting the confirmation letter. Did anyone applied recently by post and paid by Bankers draft. I understand it is currently taking nearly 10 days for card payments, but would anyone know what is the case if it is Bankers draft.

Also, I am wondering whether they send you the letter only after the payment or before the payment. Does the letter mention that your application fee has been paid and acknowledged?

Many thanks in advance

Hopefully will receive letter by end of this week.

Perhaps, it means they have been sitting on our applications until today...

you wont really know when the payment is taken by UKBA as the money has already left your account, rest assured, payment by bank draft should never fail if the payee was "Home Office"

you can ask the issuing bank if draft has been cashed but doubt if they will tell you anything

I paid using bank draft for my postal application & forgot to write anything at the back of the draft, payment still went fine

acknowledgement is usually after payment is through but it wont mention anything about the payment & if you get biometric letter that means your application is ready to be considered
