Indeed! This waiting game is worse than any visa application/extention ever.
We tracked my application via royal mail 2 days after we sent it and it was received by them the next day. We quickly check my husbands account and BOOM, they took the fee out as well. As quick as that!!
Maybe thats what they do after receiving an app, cant get their hands quick enough to get hold of the fee and throw the app away on a box full of old apps after all.
