Hi,
Bit stupid question!!!!!!
I applied for citizenship on 10/07/13 which was received on 12/07/13.
I have been following this forum and noticed usually UKBA debit money within 2 days but mine one has not been debited yet and its 4th working day today since they received application.
Question is anyone faced same thing recently??
Thank You

Nothing to worry about sometimes they take longer.. You need to worry if they haven't deducted ur fees for 2 weeks or so. To be on the safer side it's always best to use postal orders. If you have paid by bank I would let my bank to know that there will be a big payment coming out so they don't stop it as a fraudulent transaction.

You can't pay by postal order for passport application. You can pay by Banker's draft if you want surity.

no. for some reason even after informing the credit card company that this transaction was coming there way they declined the payment on 12/07/2013. I received acknowledgement letter today(dated 12/07/2013 along with new payment slip from ukba. I filled in my debit card details and posted it back.hopefully no issues this time.
