Hi Francis,

This is not reply to you only but to everyone who asks about the aknowlegment letter from Home-Office, many people do get the letter and many don not. It is not a big deal if you don't get it, or if you really need to know if they've got your appication there are two ways, one when they deduct money from your account and two, when you send your application at least send recorded delivery and keep the receipt from Post Office and track it online.

Royal Mail has got fantastic facility so you can track your letter(s) but you need to send recorded or registered delivery, the receipt is important and keep it as there is 13 digit number that's the one will tell you if your letter has been delivered or not.

I hope that'll help.
