As mentioned in my first posts when the October timeline had just opened, we have to be patient. I am in the same boat as Heisgood, applied same day, same day of receipt, debit of fees and acknowledgement letter. As I said, I still have my pp and are going on holiday in 4 wks time. Am letting this run it's course coz stressing won't get us anywhere. Am now waiting for my approval letter but won't let that stress me for now.

Hi Amgody02,
I applied on the same date as you on 2/10, but through NCS. I also got my fees debited on 16/10 with acknowledgement received on 19/10. I received an email from them on 4/11 that my case had not been taken into consideration yet. It looks like you and me are on the same boat. So plz keep each other posted.

Hi Elka,

Did you check your bank yesterday? I am thinking that the money may have come out since yesterday. I have applied a day after you, I was expecting mine to be debited today, I'll see how it goes for the rest of the day.

Good luck

Desertlord - No, I called them last Thursday first time, then they said application is not allocated or incomplete

Called them on 5th Nov - Tuesday, then they said application is processing and no letters sent out

Called on 6th, Nov - they said, letters sent out, decisions made...

So it looks like case workers hardly spends couple of hours on an application
