Can someone confirm what form of "acknowledgement" is received once the application if paid for.

Is it an e-mail confirmation of right after the payment or is it a letter in the post.
It's an email normally a day or so after online submission.

Re: Indefinite Leave To Remain with no start date!

If you put in an arbitrary date, then you should also clearly explain it elsewhere in the online form. Else, they may go looking for the wrong date in their records. Thanks Vinny, I've emailed UKVI and explained the situation. I'm just wondering if not having an ILR start date will delay matters as...

Don't put an exact date if you don't remember it. Put down what you do remember, such as year and/or month.
@vinny Unfortunately the online form insist on a day month and year.. it won't allow you to continue without filling it in :?

Indefinite Leave To Remain with no start date!

Hi all, my ILR is a green sticker/vignettes in my old passport, but the 'date' field has been left blank when it was added to my passport. I attained my ILR 17 years ago (finally decided to apply for BC now), and only when filling in the AN form (online), did this cause an issue as it asked for a da...

Re: General Discussion During Naturalisation Application Process

May I ask why online applications are fast track ones .. they are all applications at the end of the day arent they !! I suspect the time it takes to process online applications will be less due to the application data already being in digital form i.e. no deciphering and data entry required by UKVI.
