Did you get emails saying that they received your application or one that said they were looking at it (I can't remember the exact phrase they use right now)?

Yes, I received one on the 12 March saying that it had been opened and prepared for an ECO, then I received another on 13 March that stated that they would need "up to" an additional 15 days after that email to come to a decision. Yesterday was the 15th business day since the email. I'm not really worried about "if" I'll be approved, I'd just like a bit of an update from them if they need more time than the original 15 business days.

It took 17 business (M-F) days for mine to be approved after I received the e-mail stating that my package had been opened. They also had this past Friday and yesterday off for the Easter holiday. Good luck on yours!

I'm on my way to the airport as I type this, and I'll be in London about 7:20 am local tomorrow! ;D
