Another question. Sorry for all the questions.

Applied for BC on the 15th Sep. Did my biometric on the 26th Sep. How do I know home office got them ok?

I’ve sent them payslips and P60, Counsil tax, PR, Test results and criminal screening from home , passport and a few other bits. should that be enough you think ?

Thank you. Are you from EU? How long did your application take? Thanks.
