Hi Jotter,

I am not sure if I fall under the same category (received on the 09/10),
as my payment was only taken on the 06/11 - first attempt was declined.

My guess would be that I had been moved to the back of the queue cause of this...

Anyone can shed some light how this works??

Anyway, am still waiting, impatiently;
I am very temped to e-mail / call the HO, however I am aware of the backlog and try not to add to it by bothering them.

I really liked your stats BTW.

Cheers agix. It looks like most of the others from Oct 9th had their fees deducted in the last week of October, so the payment issue shouldn't have delayed you that much. Maybe an extra week. Best of luck with it!

Date of debit of fees: 06/11/13
Date of approval: 24/11/13, received 27/11/13

Agix I think we were in the same boat, my payment was declined initially as well, judging by other applications around the same time is mine, it seems we went to the back of the queue, I think it has delayed it by 2 weeks or so. I'm sure yours will come through imminently.
