Hi,

I sent mine on 7th and haven't received any ack or BM yet.... Think Aug is mostly holiday time and less caseworkers available.... Hence the delay. Or Seniors may have another thought...

It takes anywhere from 4-6 weeks.
I got first automated ukba email exactly 4 weeks after I posted my application and then 2 days letter I received my acknowledgement letter along with Biometric letter.
As mentioned August had more bank holidays so i guess it will be longer than usual.
