Thank you so much (sorry I dont know how to quote on this yet haha) for your detailed response. That really helps! I am glad that the email shows they do have my application then, I was worried about that!
Bad news is, im only on day 30 :(( We were hoping to leave for UK on June 12th.... I dont know why it took so long for them to send an email. Tracking shows our application got there on 7th March... grrr

Thanks again!!

If they're busy, it can take a few days for them to log all the applications. It could be that, say, 500 other applications arrived at the same time as yours and yours was the last one, and it took those 3 working days between March 7th and 12th to log them all into the system and trigger the emails.

Back in summer 2016, there was a massive backlog and it was taking 2 months for non-priority applications just to receive the 'documents arrived' email... and then another 2-3 months after that for the visa to be processed!

The waiting is tough but I'm sure all will be fine.  This is all very exciting...try your best to see it as such!  Did they send a link or update on when it will be sent UPS?
