[quote author=Chigboz post=132596295][/quote]Thank you for your in put and sorry about the confusion.

The COS is genuine and the visa application completed properly, I assisted my family to completed two skilled visa application one was granted (no interview) and other one refused after unsuccessful interview.

The employer believed the applicant wasn't prepared very well for the interview that was the reason the visa application was refused..
Should the applicant still reapply? can the applicant still use ihs fees paid in refused visa application please? not yet refunded.

Or should AR is the best option please?

2) Is it still advisable for the applicant to reapply again ?as this was the suggestion from the employer,

Reason for the refusal was that the applicant could not explain some of the questions and therefore they concluded on a probability the applicant is not suitable for the job .The employer believed the applicant wasn't prepared very well for the interview.

Job Title : Graphic Designer

3) IHS fees is not yet refund ,should the applicant want to reapply, does another IHS fee required please? if no how does it going to work?1

Apologies message sent in error.

1) Can the employer assign the CoS to another applicant ?should if the applicant is not interested to reapply due to fear of being rejected again and as the employer still require someone to work for them

After cancelling from online dash board Sep 16th ,email was received within Tls contact that travel is ready for collection.Afterwards email received from UKVI on Sep 19th that Visa application fee will not be refunded because biometric has been registered.










After sending withdrawal mail, How long it is taking to accept it by uk?

I have sent withdrawal mail but have not withdrawal it from online, because my solicitor is saying no for that. is that okay?
also have you got any refund mail?
I believed it doesn't matter whether you withdraw online, or not, once you have registered your bionetric your visa application fee is not refundable.

Hello Pjreilly,

I’m facing the same issue you had. I received an email about paying the incorrect fee for the UK Skilled Worker Visa because I selected "yes" for the Immigration Salary List. I have a few questions and hope you can help since you've been through this before.

Question 1: I received the "Incorrect Fees Paid" email and sent a request to withdraw my application. Do I also need to withdraw it from the UK visa online dashboard?

Question 2: Can I get a refund for the IHS and visa fee? How long does it take to get the refund? Will I receive an email about the refund, and if so, when?

Question 3: It’s been 3 days, and I haven’t received any response from the UK authorities. How long does it take to get my passport back? Will I receive an email about my passport return? If yes, how long did it take for you to get the email and receive your passport after that?

Question 4: How long does the entire process take?

I hope you can assist me with this situation.

Thank you.

Hi,

1) Actually , I sent an email provided by DMC to withraw the application and also cancelled the application from the online dash board ,and you would receive automatic response for the application cancellation. If you have registered your Biometric, Applicatioin visa fee will not be refunded.

In addition, TLS will send you an email to collect your passports and documents once you have cancelled your application.

2) It will take 28days to receive your IHS refund according to UKVI guidance ,So currently still waiting for refund , its just 7 days ago.

Passports collected today from DMC

I am currently looking for other means to reapply whilst waiting for refund as the COS will expires second week of October .

Anyway the application is for my family member. Husband and wife.

Hope this helps.
