Well you are willingly giving your card number together with security codes etc... when you sign the declaration you are agreeing to it (thats how I see it anyway)

however saying that - the post seems to take two weeks to get to people!

I enclosed a Special delivery envelope (if they still have it) to return everything original I sent - but they might just send everything 2nd class anyway...

OOOO such a nerve wrecking experience!!!

I heard that they debit the account anyway - THEN they check documents - hence why the fee would be non refundable....

I even went to the post office today to see if I left the passport there - and they have not got it either.....

I have just rung HO and they have advised that there is no way of telling what docs have been received from their systems! The advisor I spoke to says that if I sent my passport with the application and the fee has been taken he can most certainly guarantee that the passport is with them and all the...

Oh right - well that makes so much more sense now....I think my residence qualifying period is more than enough :)
