Seems like only a very small percentage of applications are quality assured and I am one of the lucky ones

The person I spoke to said it may take weeks and that the decision may change.

I had applied on 29th October through NCS, Its been 3 weeks now (timeline below) but haven't heard anything, no acknowledgment and no fees deducted.
Is it time to call them? What option do I need to select while calling?

What I have seen around, it can take up to 14 working days, also NCS advised me to call my bank for big amount to go out as they have seen rejections due to that. I am paying by Debit Card so no issue was there as you see in my post above yours, so if you selected Credit card perhaps call your Card issuer and tell not to block any payments?

I had mine received on the 28th (I posted in the November thread instead of here) and I still haven't had money taken out!

Eligibility criteria: 10 years residence + 1 year ILR
Language criteria met (UK degree, exempt countries, PBS used documents, NARIC, or B1 test): Exempt countries, UK degree
Current nationality: USA
Method of application: NCS
Council name if NCS used: Wandsworth
Date of application: 25/10/14
Payment method CC/DC, Personal cheque, Bankers cheque etc: CC
Date of receipt by UKBA: 28/10/2014
Date of acknowledgment: Waiting
Date of debit or clearance of fees: Waiting

It's been 3 weeks since they received it (according to the Post Office tracking ref) and payment still hasn't been deducted, so I'm starting to get nervous! Barclaycard said about 10 days ago that they hadn't blocked any payment, but didn't deal with the part of my inquiry that asked them to make sure they didn't do so in future so I'm not sure whether I need to check with them again.

It's a small plastic card (the size of a credit card), and has your immigration status and photo (for most of us, it's our proof of ILR). They used to record the information in passports, but stopped a few years ago. Is this what you mean?

That is strange that Barclaycard couldn't deal with your enquiry because it is quite common for credit card companies to block big payments to avoid fraud. I called mbna after sending my application and customer service transferred me to their fraud prevention team. I explained the situation to which the adviser said she will put a note on the system for a month that if home office applies for £906 please authorise it as i notified them in advance with precise information of the amount.
Call barclaycard and if possible ask them to transfer you to fraud prevention team.

Good luck
