You can see in the status there is no reference number. They do warn that if you apply to the Embassy in London, you need to include a pre-paid tracked envelope otherwise they'll send it normal post.
In fact did I included a Prepaid Special Delivery envelope with my application so hopefully it'll turn up in that shortly. Of course what I stupidly forgot to do, was take a note of the tracking number before I put it in the envelope I sent to the Embassy. Doh! :-)
It's worth noting that the application went through stages 4 to 6 in a single afternoon. It really is quick.
