No Confirmation E-mail from HO - really worried!

[naxxan]

Hi all,

Below is the timeline of my application (in paper format):

Application Sent: 22 Nov 2016
Application Received: 23 Nov 2016
Payment taken: 24 Nov 2016
Confirmation email by HO: ???

I can see most others (if not all) on here received their confirmation e-mail by the HO within a few days or at most a month after applying, so I am not sure what has gone wrong here?

I tried contacting the EEA helpline but all they said was 'sometimes it takes longer' and 'we don't send out confirmation emails for everyone'.

Is there anything I can do to check everything is ok with my application? Should I request my EU Id card back to perhaps make them pay attention to my application again?

Thanks,

naxxan

Anyone please? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

There is no way to check really.
And not everyone receives confirmations.
Funds taken from account are one indicator after that its a waiting game.
