Probably means theyre done with the docs or they were not required.
btw, what are these docs as you do not need to send any except LIUK results and passport!!
The docs were my passport, marriage certificate & partner's birth certificate - applied as partner of british citizen. The only document they did not send back was the life in the UK pass certificate. The letter also stated that they wanted be to check on the attached page that my name, dob and nationality are correct as if I am approved the certificate will show those details.

Ok, I did not apply though the NCS service, I applied via post sending everything in along with my application.

I have now started coming onto this site everyday just to check if anyone has heard anything yet. Somehow the fact that everyone on here is in the same boat with me is kind of making me feel a bit better. I have so far tried to engage myself in other things like starting my own business etc just to take my mind this.

I hope I get my passport soon as I am planning to travel to the USA for the first time in my life, I have always wanted to go to New York, Miami etc.

Anyway I should stop rambling now, I am going to buy a tin of paint now so that I can watch it dry, that should shave a few days off :(

River1river, u earlier posted that your debit card is charged... this means they have ur app on system? no?

i guess its a matter of days before march is cleared. there are simply too many cases handled by HO on a daily basis and people on the forum constitute hardly 1% of the total applicants (my guess :-) to give the correct picture of speed or processing.

5yrs Work Permit + 1year ILR
2 Adults + 2 Kids

Worries

1) Self employed (8 months), no tax papers attached because of new business & tax was not due. However, tax ref number provided.

2) Reference on children forms was filled in by our accountant. However, it should have been filled by someone dealing with children such as teacher, health visitor etc.

What are these docs? I applied through NCS and they even didnt take LIUK orignal test result, they took a photocoy of that as well
Very unusual, LIUK original certificate is needed by HO. NCS have slipped up here, best to wait and see if you hear from HO regarding sending your original test result.
