Hello house.
how can one link the IHS he has paid earlier to the visa application profile.
I actually paid for the IHS in June but its requesting that I pay again while applying for the VISA.
thanks.

Hello,

There is no linking. The fee is integrated into the UK Visas Applicatn process now. So, technically, u have to pay for it again while applying for your VISA. Then, u go ahead and request for a refund of the one you paid in June. That's the route, from July 4, 2015., subject to when these guys change it again. Like they have a penchant for changing dr stuffs every week ... lol.

Are you sure? Cos the site says otherwise!

Sorry, we in the UK are getting outdated on information. Tier 4 must have been recently added

Pls house help me. @justwise @spikesC i just cancelled a visa application appointment and requested for a refund after paying for everything including IHS. I want to know if my IHS fee will also be returned to me. I ask because i started a new application and they are still asking me to pay for a new IHS?

Yes, you'll have to pay for the IHS again while they work a way to refund the initial payment.
This happened to me yesterday too.
I'm just gonna pay again and sweat for the refund.

please house advice who has encountered this before, after applying for the visa about 15 days ago, i got this reply "Thank you for applying for a UK visa. Your visa application has been received and is under consideration. We aim to process non settlement applications within 15 working days (unless you have opted for the Priority Visa service), and settlement applications within 60 working days.

Unfortunately, the processing of your application has not been straightforward and we will be unable to decide your application within our customer service targets. We are continuing to work on your application and aim to make a decision as soon as possible.

We will write to you again if there is any change to this. Please do not attend the Visa Application Centre until you have been advised that your application has been decided and that your passport is ready for collection."

What is the likely cause of this delay? Am so worried

Why did you cancel the appointment? If u don't mind me asking.

So, people are still considering studying in the UK with the latest legislations by Home Secretary. Guys, of you have your way, choose another country to study. I strongly discourage you from studying in the UK.

The government want to make life unbearable for the international students. Am writing from the University of Salford, Manchester.

Change your country pls

Did mine 30th june and i paid 25,890 naira. Guess, it should be about same amount. And you can always call the Health assessment center to confirm. The bank also has the required details.

I thought the rules were for college students. What other way are they making life unbearable? Pls share with us.

Please does anyone know why some UK universities prefer to give out there CAS by mid august while their resumption date is in mid September, bearing in mind the likely delays from embassies. A typical example here is the university of chester.

"made to understand" by who?
If they have asked you to pay first then this is what you must do.

While filling the online application, It was not requested and at teleperformace office i was told i dont have to since i don't plan to stay up to 6 months

hello ppl,
pls anyone goin to anglia ruskin university by sept?

Good morning guys, please who knows what the specification for the passport photograph is? Is it the normal visa type or normal passport photograph? I have both but I want to know if I need to take another one.

My advice is that you pay the £150 get your visa then ask questions later and if they realize that you were not supposed to pay then you can ask for a refund.

It's actually the normal passport size we all know. (forget about the hype).

*Ensure its on a white background.
*Let your face be very bold covering at least over 70% of the area.
*Your two ears must be visible
*No smiles just a neutral look.
*Passport size 35X45

Note:
If you choose to snap in front of UKVI Teleperformance office Church gate, you would be charged between #1000-2000 for a normal 2mins passport of #300.

However, you can snap same passport for #300-#500 just after GTB bank I.e sky bank street if you alight at Law School bus top instead of going towards law school/UKVI office walk straight "Adeyemo Alakija Street" (walk past Muri Okunola Park) towards GTB area lots of passport vendors there its 2mins walk.

I hope this helps!

Please don't send!
You already got your VISA.
Your bizness with them is over.
Get your own sim when you get to the UK.

it possibly can't be in your best interest !

CONGRATS!

good day,
i applied for a refund of my visa fees and the Ihs fees because of the change in the ihs payment procedure. my ihs fees has been refunded but my visa fee is yet to be refunded. i am worried as i did not apply for the visa fee myself. someone did it. hope account number is not part of the details needed when applying for the visa fee refund as the person who helped me did not ask me for my account number. applied for the refund since the 9th of this month.
thank you.
also the issue of the 31 days policy attached to the bank statement, is it an issue if the bank statement expires while with them? aspa after submitting your documents and attending your appointment, if it expires before you get a reply to your application, is it an issue?
