14. Date (new) leave to remain valid until: 15/07/2020
15. Date BRP received: 11/06/2015 (There was a failed delivery on 10/06/2015, and we requested a re-delivery on the following day. I don't like the DX delivery. Their re-delivery options somewhat force you to pay extra.)
16. Sponsor rating: A-premium

I used the regular service, and I am happy that everything is done less than one month. As mentioned in the above post, when you submit your application, you don't need all the extra. I only posted my CoS, passport, passport photo, and the print-out from UKBA website (no need to submit bank statement even though my sponsor does not support the maintanance). Hope this is helpful.

Hi Mate,
can you pls confirm how have you claimed your English Points for your Tier 2 General Extension Application?

Hi Guys

I have applied for Tier 2 (general) and Just want to check that in the Immigration health Surcharge log in, if under actions section there is no option appearing (Like refund etc.) does that mean Visa has been granted.

Your replies will be much appreciated.

plabo · Post by **plabo** » Wed Jun 24, 2015 7:45 pm

1. Tier 2 General renewal (along with 3 dependants)
2. Submitted application on GOV.UK (23 June 2015)
3. Payment did same day using Credit card (Status showing: Payment pending). Emailed technical helpline asking what is going wrong. Called bank, they said payment is authorised, called World Pay, they saying the same. But payment has not yet been accepted by UKBA.Until payment pending page does not change, I am unable to print off confirmation page and post passports.

Has anyone else had a similar problem recently. I am awaiting the technical helpline email team to reply by tomorrow.

I am have the same question... and I have waited for 2 weeks.

Hi Sunny2905

Did you see the "refund" option initially on your IHS log in when you first paid for Healthcare surcharge or is there no option showing from starting?

Hi,

When I paid the Healthcare surcharge, I was able to see the "refund" option on my IHS log in. However, at that time I haven't send my documents to the UKVI. I haven't check it since then.

Hi Sunny2905

Have you got any recent update on your Visa (Email etc.) I believe that's their normal procedure of not showing the refund link once they received the paperwork so which means application is in process and we can not take refund before they come to any decision. but i am not sure about this thing, i think somebody who have recently got the approved visa will be able to clarify this much better.

Hi JT0024,

No, there is no any news from Home Office since my biometric enrollment letter. I never received any email, except for the confirmation of payments, from Home Office during Tier 2 visa application.

I am wondering if any people has any update timeline in June for their Tier 2 application.

Hi Syounusa,

Thanks for your update! Congratulations! Did you received the approval on the same date when the decision was issued? Would you like to tell if you extend the Tier 2 under the same employer (same job) or under the different employer?

Many thanks!

Sunny

syounusa · Post by **syounusa** » Fri Jul 03, 2015 10:26 pm

Did you received the approval on the same date when the decision was issued?
