CAA licence amendment question

[419]

I'm after a bit of advice about how the CAA licencing dept operates with regards to when they actually take payment for something.

My engineering licence was sent to the CAA a while ago for some restrictions to be removed.
Along with the licence paperwork, I also sent a payment form (credit card authorisation).

The payment for the amendment has now been taken from the card, so does this mean that the CAA have accepted the application and are in the process of issuing the amended licence, or could it still be rejected due to something like insufficient worksheets or experience?

Correct. The CAA won't look at anything until they've been paid.

So the payment confirmation only means they got to your application and they are now studying it.

I nearly fell of my chair when renewing my EASA and CAA one when the cheque for my CAA one was returned, they deemed if you are paying for the EASA one your CAA one should be free........

Thanks Rigga.

All I can do now is to sit and wait and see what happens.
