I swear it's quite nerve wrecking, they are taking their sweet time to take the £1005. You'd think they'd want to take off as much money as possible since the fee increase but so far nothing. I think they might be waiting for June before they start taking money off of people and begin processing the applications.

any news about may applicants

Nothing as yet. I applied on May 5 using NCS. I think the fee will be taken out just before or after June 5. That's what the recent trend says.

Please note that, unlike another reply posted in this thread, I never received any e-mails from the Home Office. Only two letters - one acknowledging payment of the fee, and another requesting biometric enrolment.

I haven't got mine and my son's biometric letter as yet.

It's happening more often now. I don't believe so many of the biometrics get lost into post but HO did not send the letters. I applied in april, only applicant of us two received bio.. invitation and other is still waiting. I would suggest to wait for few more days and write an email to nationalitybiometrics@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk if nothing has arrived by then. HO would wait for 15 days which is the deadline to enroll bio.. before issuing another letter, believing they had issued first letter which is not always true.
