Hi all,

I have concern about Date of acknowledgment, I havent got either email or letter acknowledgement from HO.

It had been 3 working days since fee had deducted from my account ( 9 working days sice HO had recieved my application), Does the acknowledgement come via post or email? any advice please? I'm a bit panic now.

Thanks in advance

patt

Don't worry about it bud. They don't send it right away. You should get it this week though.

Hi Patt,


Dont worry about it at all. I recieved one letter (first email and then hardcopy) covering both acknowledgement and debit of fees once fee was taken out. Since they have taken money out of your account you must rest assured for the time being that they have your application. You should receive an email/post/both this week.

How did you manage to get acknowledgement via email? was it a special request or did they just sent you one?

Didn't request it. Just got an e-mail today acknowledging that they had received the application and processed the fee. Also gave me the case reference number. I understand that this same acknowledgement letter is also sent via post.

Is a good question akhurshid i received my letterfew days ago buy no email.
