Received everything back today (16/05/13), asked to re-sign and re-date the application for as I wasn't in the country on the day of application 3 years ago. A big mistake on my part but nice of them to let me continue with my application. They included a fast track return envelope to send application back and avoid waiting. Hope it goes through now.
