Call your NCS and ask for tracking nr.elbraddo wrote:How do people know the date their application was received by Home Office?
I applied with form AN @ NCS on 5th May.
It's now 26th May and no money hasn't been taken from my account, and I haven't received anything acknowledging receipt of my application.

Well most of us think that our applications are straightforward but it doesn't really depend on that. Some are lucky and getting their approvals within 1-2 months and some are not that lucky and have to wait for months. Nobody actually can give you an answer about it. Only thing we can do is sit back and waitLima254 wrote:You won't get any letter for biometrics as you have sent your application in February. It's for applicants who applied from April onwards
How about the waiting time? Is it normal? I thought with the long duration of stay it will be pretty straight forward, no?

Is not it strange that fees were deducted in one transaction for both of us, one acknowledgement letter addressed to both of us, however she received her biometrics week ago but i have not received mine! Or is this normal?
i called them couple of times but was told that no information could be given in relation to biometric letter. Please advise how did you get them to give you that information and what option you choose when called. thanksjabsbini wrote:Hi,usman81 wrote:Eligibility criteria:Tier 1 G + 1 yr ILR (2 Applicants)

I applied on 14/04/2015 and got my acknowledgement dated 8th May but never received a biometric request letter. Called them and they told me I will not be required to submit biometrics as I submitted my Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) with the application and they have my biometric record in their system. Hence I will not be given a biometric letter. I got my BRP in Sept 2014 as approval of my ILR.
Biometric letter in separate envelopes with different references and barcode....but one acknowledgement letter for both of us.usman81 wrote:Viki - did you receive biometrics letter for both applicants in separate letters? and if with same reference number or different?viki83 wrote:Number of applicants : 2 Adults (Husband + Wife)

read the timeline on previous pages. those who applied sort of mid april had their fees deducted around 4 weeks from date of application. That's about the time when acknowledgement letter were posted as well.fjimmy007 wrote:Hi , Same thing happening to my wife application , she applied through NCS on 5th of May , no money were taken out yet , strange feeling too, but Dx showed that application received but still no acknowledgement letter yet .
