Hearing that I'm not alone in this situation is SO comforting! From what I've been told, we'll receive correspondence by royal mail.

I might try calling again on Monday but I don't think I could bear to do it again today. I sent the letter through the normal post, but for peace of mind I may send it special delivery tomorrow. Anything to calm me down is worth a shot!

You don't need to send it special delivery, you can just send it recorded delivery which is still signed for, so you'll know when it gets there.  :)

If for any reason your recorded delivery letter didn't make it, you can always just produce and send another. I would only bother to use special delivery when sending important original documents.

I agree with Larrabee. May be the delay is because of lack of resources at application centre. Most employees at the processing centre might have taken holidays as the schools are on holidays at the moment :-) just guessing ..

I had a missed delivery from parcelforce today- any chance that has anything to do with the visa? I'm sure it's just a package someone else in the house delivered but I'm grabbing at any hope here...

I doubt it’s visa related.

Damn, nothing yet? I hoped you were going to tell us you had received the letter!

Nothing yet :-\\\\  @Shants555 also hasn't posted since last week and I don't know anyone else with a similar timeline. I can't tell if my application is being held up individually or if this is happening with all the applications...

Nope I haven't received anything yet. It's kind of frustrating I wish they could at least acknowledge the receipt of the application.

We're in similar situation here.

The application was received by the HO on 29/03/2018. The payment was taken on 04/04/2018 from bank account (was in pending state on 02/04/2018). Still no invitation letter or anything  :-\\\\

Don't know if the easter break is affecting the HO resources. I might try contacting them if I receive nothing by this Monday.

Similar situation to you as well.

Sent my FLR(M) application out on the 30th of March (signed for on the 2nd of April).

Home Office took payment on April 5th.

I've still yet to recieve any documents from them regarding the Biometrics or confirming receipt of my application/documents.  :(

Have any of you gotten your partners passport back yet?

I get the feeling everyone is in the same boat here.

I sent mine with my husband's FLR(M) application and it came back at the very end with the rest of the supporting evidence.

My biometrics arrived!! Application received by home office 15 March 2018.

The letter actually says I didn’t return my biometrics within 15 working days of the original letter so I now have an additional 10 days until my application is rejected. I wait for the mail every day so I know I never received the first letter...
