I think it can't be 30k+ in a single borough.. In a previous post a few eeks someone were mentioning, it was 39k overall.

Well you probably only set yourself back a few days if the letter was dated 19/12.

On the plus side, at least you know someone is looking at it.

BIT TOO LATE FOR THE ADVICE BUT I THINK THE BEST WAY TO SPEED UP YOUR PAYMENT WAS TO CALL THEM AND MAKE YOUR PAYMENT OVER THE PHONE

Hi djafar007,

Tried emailing nationalityprogress@homeoffice.qsi.gov.uk, however the email address is not working as I got this failure message:

This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.

Delivery to the following recipients failed.

nationalityprogress@homeoffice.qsi.gov.uk

I'll try the phone number on Monday and see how it goes, thanks for your help.

Kind regards

Hi djafar007,

Just managed to find that the email address is .gsi not qsi, resent it and just received an acknowledgement email stating that they should respond within 2 business day, I hope that they'll get back to me!

Once more thanks a lot.

Kind regards
