If you have a receipt from the post office, and have checked with them and they can give you PROOF that the home office has received your application, then there is no need to worry. Even if you are unlucky and they lost your application you can prove to them that it was their own fault. in the meantime, you can only wait.
If you do not have a receipt from the post office, it is very difficult because they will not answer phone calls, and do not always send a letter saying that they received an application, although they should.
Read the following extract taken from home office website. If you also read their website, you will know it for yourself.
Questions about the progress of your application
Please note that we are unable to provide progress reports or confirm receipt of documents on applications that have been outstanding for less than 14 weeks as this timeframe is within our published service standards. If you have sent documents to us by recorded or special delivery, you can confirm receipt by visiting the Royal Mail website. We are also unable to advise you when your case might be decided. General information about current processing times for leave to remain applications is available from the residency waiting times page. Please note that a number of cases will fall outside those service standards. We are unable to discuss the reasons why individual cases might fall outside those service standards.
If your case is being considered and you want to give us additional relevant information that may help us to decide your case then please write in with that information and your immigration reference number to the address below.
We advise you not to make any travel plans (such as holidays) until you receive your passport or travel document. If you ask us to return your passport or travel document for travel before your application is decided, the application will be considered withdrawn. If you really do need your passport or other documents urgently, please phone us in the first instance on 0870 606 7766 .
