Link your paper application to your online account
For some paper applications, you can get detailed application status and your mail online. You can do this by linking an application to an online account. Through your account, you will be able to see the most up-to-date information about your application.
Don't expect it to show much details. It will just show what is in progress and nothing else. I have used it last year to apply for my PR under FSW.
