    DV2014 - KCC 2nd Reply

    I'm also current (OC) but have not had confirmation letter from KCC. I've also been checking the status check website (using original confirmation number) but as yet, no change. Britsimon said earlier in the week that it usually takes a few days to hear and for them to load the data, so...
