Yeah but from my receipt I looked at it later and saw that the 'GB 355' is the details text so maybe its under a bank ref number on their statements? but either way, they can't just go on forever never acknowledging this random £100 in their account! Its the most frustrated i've ever been in my life and has really got me down the last few days.

Yeah that's pretty rough man, it is prob worth re-applying tomorrow just in case. Try and get through on the phone while you are waiting. They are really frustrating to deal with because they are so hard to get through to.

Only tip I could offer is when you send a message in 'my messages' put URGENT in capitals and mention payment in the subject. I did this and it's the only way I could get them to acknowledge the email

Ah I see. Thanks!

I guess it's probably going to open at 5pm UK time again, what are the bets on how fast these ones will go?! I think it might take 24hrs this time

Do you think they'll open round 2 tomorrow if they haven't finished processing the first round yet?

It just makes me think that they'll take another week to verify my stage one!

Think it would be okay to use safari to log in and so forth, or should I get firefox?

Its ashame that you are waiting this long to have your payment verified. I dont think they will reject your application but I think they have made a mistake somewhere during the process and havent verified your payment yet.

I do hope that you can get through to someone at the call centre tommorow and get it sorted before round 2 opens. If not then I would try again using another email address. I have been reading your posts and I am keeping an eye out for a post saying "payment verified"! We are behind you, hoping and praying

Btw, I'm in the same boat as you. It's been over a week and still no payment verification. Fingers crossed we hear something soon.

I have online banking setup in the UK but want to be sure that proof of payment from online banking is good enough. Or is it best to get someone in the UK to actually go into a bank and pay it?
Any idea on the above people, has anone chosen to pay via online banking and had their proof rejected?

Also, for the person who was asking about having their phone unlocked, make sure that it can run on the GSM data network over here. My HTC Desire HD only picks up EGDE data network which is pretty much unusable except for whatsapp and Email, and I signed up to a 2 year plan including data . You can get most phones here in BC on a 2 year contract for $0-100 upfont payment depending on what handset you want

Hope you don't mind me asking, but how come you need to do the IEC thing if you're married to a Canadian, can't you do spousal sponsor?

Cos of the time it takes. A guy I know moved from the UK with his Canadian wife and it took him 14 months or something to submit his application and get his PR. I can't afford to not work for that amount of time so while my application is in process I can work if I have IEC

I used HSBC UK online banking and used a screen shot as proof, got verified no problem, I know other people did it too, so shouldn't see it being an issue

There are definitely at least two others that are still waiting - they've said so on the various IEC Facebook groups.

I don't think there's any risk that we've lost our places. I seem to remember IEC telling the Irish not to worry if their payments hadn't been verified up to 10 days after.
