Just to mention,last year when I applied for my biometric card ( indefinite leave to remain ) I sent my application myself and I had my card in about 6weeks and I hope this comes through quickly as well.
Fingers crossed

I posted my son's application on 6 August. It was received on 7 August.

Not heard anything ever since, no acknowledgement, the cheque I sent hasn't been cashed

Should I be worried?

I think you should wait for another week as I have seen few cases in the forum where fee were deducted very late, but I think as per UKVI they should send acknowledgement in two weeks time.
I think if you still do not find any changes for fee debited or acknow by end of next week, then better to contact them.

Quick Question:

I have a CCJ that was issued to me in 09/2009 about a parking ticket and just detected that about 8 months ago when I wanted to send my application in. I was told by the council agent that I should try and get that paid or settled. Even though I was not the one driving the car at that time, I was the registered keeper of the car thus why my name was on the CCJ. I have called the court Northampton CCBC to enquire further and was told to contact the company that issued the PCN. I got in touch with the company and was told that the parking company does not exist anymore and they could only find the car registration number and nothing more so they are unable to take payments. It was £164 for the CCJ. Since the court and the defunct parking company are unable to take payments and I am in the middle of this mess, the Council agent called the home office and enquire more about and she asked me to send it and put note about it. I have also contacted the court again and was told to write to mcol@hmtcs.gsi.gov.uk to put the file before a district judge. Even though it will be 6 years next year to be written off, I am a little bit worried LOL. Does any one have any experience about this kind of issues or something close. Advice welcome.

Hi,

I am not sure if you will get enough response in this forum as this forum is for timeline only. I will suggest you to post your query in general forum within British Citizenship.

Ok. I will wait until the end of next week.

What's the best way to contact them?

Hi,

I found the contact from the forum

http://www.immigrationboards.com/britis ... t#p1073121

Citizenship and nationality enquiries
ukbanationalityenquiries@ukba.gsi.gov.uk
Telephone: 0300 123 2253
Monday to Thursday, 9am to 5pm
Friday, 9am to 4:30pm

I think generally people get communication from home office from e-mail - NationalityEnquiries@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk

If you have applied through NCS then I would suggest to first check with them, possibly NCS can directly contact with Home Office.
