Hi people,
This is my second post so I hope you guys can help me as well as you did then :)

Basically, my Filipina partner and I have sent the COA form with all the documents to the Home Office on 26/4/11 via Royal Mail Special Delivery, which I tracked and know it was received on 27/4/11. We have not received a confirmation email from the Home Office that they received the COA form and that they will process it in due course.

I also understand that I can send the Home Office another form to request the return of all our documents but I cant find where that form is on their site (anyone know the link?), however if I can find it, can I send it without receiving the said COA confirmation email?
I also noticed that the COA scheme has been scrapped altogether since 9th May!
Does that mean our COA now doesn't need to be processed?

I cant call the 0845 Home Office help line from my mobile or from work and when I get home its too late to call as their office is closed.

Anyone help with any info on the above please?

Thanks in advance.
Rgds, BEN
