The number is 0870 606 7766, listen and press 2, then wait, if you are lucky, you may get a live person within 10 minutes or so. Remember to have your reference number, I believe the payment will be taken sometime next week. Good luck.

I am getting nervous now - applied 14th of October, fees debited 6th of Nov and no new!... I've sent pre-paid self-addressed envelope to HO so should get info pretty quickly. Anybody else applied similar dates still waiting?
I'm starting to think what could go wrong etc. but as a spouse of BC it should be straight forward I thought.

You are right I suppose. I think I should never have registered here and just patiently waited. Thanks very much for putting my mind at rest though!!!

There were a handful reported on Friday and one on Saturday (anustaya), but none since then. Pure chance? Or could it be that the HO are going to send out a bunch at once?
