Happy new year everyone,
I applied for naturalisation along with my wife through NCS on 11/12/12. Our application was received on 14/12/12 ( chcked using tracking ref number).
But till date, I have not received any acknowledgement. The fees has not been deducted from my account too.
I understand, there was christmas break in between. But its been 3 weeks now.
It would be great if someone can advice me?
Shall I contact home office or wait for some more time?

I applied on 17/12 and still no fee taken. I think this is expected for this time of the year.

Sometimes the bank doesn't show transactions until 2/3 days later. Considering the time of the year it may take even longer to show up. Worth calling your bank, maybe?

Don't worry, UKBA usually deduct fee and then send you acknowledgement letter. In busy period they said it can take 4 weeks. Good luck.
