Today i got in the mail the brown envelope with the acknowledgement letter from UKBA, looks like they do follow up a routine, judging by what i saw here on forum, after 3-4 days they debit your fee, you should receive the envelope with the payment acknowledged.Too bad that after this, when it comes to processing the applications, it is luck to get it at random times, some get it within 1-2 weeks, others still wait for months and months...could be that the checks they do drags some peoples cases further?or just simple bad luck to have your case assigned to a caseworker a bit "slower" that others?anyway, there's little we can do to speed up the process, i personally realize we need a lot of patience, we will all get the brown envelope sooner or later...good luck to all of you guys out there waiting, just like me.

Success, and quite quickly too !!

I emailed them on the 14-11 and they said the same thing, but my approval letter was dated 13-11. I really don't think they check!

I applied on October 21st by Royal Mail and so far neither money has been debited nor acknowledgement been sent so I emailed the HO twice and I got exactly the email the other member got:

Dear XXXXX

Thank you for your email.

Due to high volumes of applications, there is a delay in processing applications, and taking payments.

You should receive an acknowledgment letter between 4-6 weeks after we received your application. During busy periods this may even take 7 weeks. If you have not received such a letter, please contact us for a duplicate acknowledgment letter.
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

Can we please keep each other updated since we applied on the same date?

Thanks

Hi,

I have applied on the 15/10, HO receive it on the 16/10, fee debited on 9/11 Saturday. I receive acknowledgment letter on 11/11, I think it is relatively early for us to get worried, I think they'll process our application soon, hopefully, good luck.

Szindy I applied on the 10th Oct, HO received application on the 14th. I have a good feeling this week will be the victory week for many. It appears that 10-12days after the fee is debited some applicants are getting approval so hopefully soon we will also. In the mean time keep calm and carry on......
