There has been no update on my application :(
I can see that people who have applied after me have got the acknowledgement or the fees have been debited, for me there is no progress or update. Anyone has any idea how long should i wait before i get acknowledged or the fees is debited..

Does anyone know if the applications will continue being processed during Christmas holidays season obviously excluding the holidays or is the home office shut during these days? I still see the fees are being processed in Dec 14 thread but applications not being approved for several days now in the Nov 14 thread.

Just like any other organisation, they will be short staffed but not shut completely.

I do not think you should worry, have you checked with your bank if there was any attempt to charge fees?
