Many thanks Fred. I didn't call to Home Office. I was checking status on royal mail as i enclosed special recorded return envelop and i had the tracking no.

Till 9:30 pm yesterday, it was showing same status 'Come back later..............' on royal mail website but at 10:00 pm yesterday (when i check again just after half an hour), status was changed so i knew that documents are on it's way. I received this morning approval letter. I hope this will help.

Most of the people who seem to have a delayed response seem to have applied via Solicitors?
