Neither have I - that said, seeing joint applications being approved (regardless of their qualifying criteria) can only be a good sign -

Hold tight, its coming :-)

Been reading this thread since we submitted our application and amazed at how different every case is that I decided to post my details. Eligibility criteria: 5yrs ancestral and 1yr ILR - for me, my husband and my daughter
Language criteria met: life in UK and B1
Current nationality: South African
Method of application: NCS
Council name if NCS used: Aylesbury
Date of application: 24 March 2015
Payment method CC/DC, Personal cheque, Bankers cheque etc: DC
Date of receipt by UKBA: 25 March 2015
Date of acknowledgment:
Date of debit or clearance of fees: 30 March 2015
Date approval received:
Date of ceremony:

We were told that the UKBA had 10 days to take the payment so confused as to why some are still waiting. Assuming it is just down to backlog as NCS agents are UKBA staff so perhaps fees are processed by each individual council (sheer guess work).

They take photocopy of B1 certificate and returns the original certificate . And yes they take original life in the uk test certificate . So its completely normal nothing to worry about it.
