Letter received February 19, 2009.
I have 120 days' time to submit the full application.

I learned quite a lot and clarified many things from here. Thanks for all your help, especially you, Rupesh! Will keep you posted.

For people who did these and/or are wondering about these:
1. Photographs of my family members and myself were pasted in the given space (which are not needed, I learned subsequently from here).
2. Only the accompanying family member's and my fees were paid.
3. I am yet to take IELTS, but had a recent TOEFL iBT score. I said so in the cover letter and claimed full points for English and ticked yes to the approved test question. I have booked IELTS for March.
