Mine was received early on the morning on the 26th. No fees taken yet. I've resigned to the fact that it's not going to happen before Easter.

There was one person who applied one day before me (their applicated was received on the 25th) and had his/her fees taken on Monday.

My wife's application reaching Home Office on 19th got money out of her credit card today. So yes perhaps unlikely, but depends upon case-to-case really.

So I realised that the woman at NCS Maidstone spelt my first name incorrectly.. That might be the reason why my account hasn't been debited. I sent them an email asking how to correct this. Now I don't know what to do. Can anyone give me any tips ? Or maybe a number I can call to find out how to correct this. My passport, B1 Certificate, Life in the UK test and my actual application all have the correct name on them so, I don't know HOW she could misspell my name by one letter? I'm thoroughly disappointed actually... What number could I possibly call?
