I did not receive any communication from the Home Office for 3 weeks after my payment was taken. The help line advised I should send an email after waiting 6 weeks to eurobiometrics@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk. I went ahead and sent it anyway (at the 3 week) and thats what prompted a confirmation email and biometrics letter.

Non-EU married to British national (Surinder Singh), with long expired FP;
(We lived in Greece for 10+ years, our child was born there);
Application posted on 14/02/2019;
Received: 15/02/2019;
Payment taken: 18/02/2019;

Resedence card received: 18/04/2019 (dated 16/04/2019).

It took them 9 weeks to decide and to finally issue the card. I'm writing this to give others hope. My advice is to enclose a short cover letter and a pre-paid envelope - this might speed up the process (I didn't bother though).
