Increase in Visa fees

Post by shaz123 » Mon Mar 14, 2016 10:53 pm

Am I correct in saying the fee for a Spouse Visa will increase this Friday 18th of March?

At what point do they charge the fee? As in, if I do an online application on the 17th March would I still be paying the old fee?

Hi CR001,

I am applying from India for my wife in the first week of April. Would you know how much that has been increased by?
Also do i need to fill in the sponsor form for her visa?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks

No, you don't need to complete the SU07 sponsorship undertaking form.

Hi,

I applied in feb 2016 end.

Sponsorship form is mandatory, VFS specifically asked for this along with the application and appendix.

Thanks
Priya

It is not mandatory for a spouse visa, which this thread is about. It is mandatory for some other visas in this group of settlement visas.

04/1/16 UK Spouse application
06/1/16 rejected
11/1/16 appealed
01/2/16 payment
29/3/16 IA10
25/4/16 Original decision withdrawn
20/5/16 Appears thatECO \ BHC Delhi do not communicate

No, but currency exchange rates will apply. (which why I suspect CR001 asked the question).
