Crteria: Legacy (Long residency)
Date of application: 14th February 2012.
Method of application: My self through Royal Mail special delivery.
Date received by UKBA 15th February 2012.
Payment debited from my account: 28th February 2012.
Acknowledgement letter received: 28th February 2012.

Approval received: 31st May 2012, dated 28th May 2012.

Other useful info:
I wanted to apply through NCS and they wanted me to present some documents which I thought were not necessary and I have lost them a few years ago. Out of frustration, I left the NCS office and went straight to the post office and post the application myself.


Finally, the long and anxious wait is over and another chapter opens.

Other updates
Within the acknowledgement letter it was mentioned that credit card was denied.
Contacted UKBA on the 26/04/12 to pay the fee, but couldn't get through at first and when fanally did, it was n't successful as cashiers only work from 10 am- 4pm.
Contacted them again on 27/04/12 and after about 9 attempts and 3 hours painful wait finally managed to pay over the phone.

Intrem update:
Rang home office yesterday for an update(in a tricky way) the lady over the phone was polite and helpful, she informed that applications are complete and you will reveive letter in the next 2-3 weeks. Keep fingers crossed. :!:
