** The Home Office misread my address and the correspondence has been going to the wrong address. Luckily, my payment details were not correct, so I was contacted via email and phone in January informing me that they were unable to take my payment. Once the payment was sorted, everything else ran smoothly.

So my suggestion is that if the payment is not taken out within a similar time as posted on this thread, it might be worth checking if everything is ok. Similarly, if letters are not received.

Wanted to post this as an example that somethings things can get delayed, but don't panic

Most of the people received acknowledgement within 2 weeks (well just observation). I am still waiting for receipt/acknowledgment. Shall I be worried about it?
