Hello,

I received IHS back but not the extension application fees.

I contacted UKVI via phone and they said fees is non-refundable.

Is it true? If not what shall I do to get application money back.

Please advise.

Thanks
Zimba, CR001 can you please give your opinion on refunds.

Is extension application fee is non-refundable?

Thanks

IHS fees are refunded when an application is withdrawn. However application fees are NOT refunded if you enrol your biometrics (valid application) and then withdraw

Thanks Zimba.

I did a variation on extension application. I'm little confused here. What is the difference between variation and withdrawn an application.

There is an information on page 8 and page17.

On page 8, "An administration fee cannot be retained if an application is void, withdrawn before
enrolment of biometrics (where we refund the fee paid) or the applicant has died".

On page 17, "when the original and variation application made online, the applicant will have paid 2 fees. The higher fee be retained and you must refund the lower fees".

If both applications or second application made on paper then just pay the difference.

Please help me understand this.

Thanks

Hello everyone,

I'm posting this message to update others on refunds from UKVI. I varied extension application after biometrics into ILR application.

I received IHS refund before the decision letter received and application fees also refunded my UKVI after 3 weeks of decision date.

Thanks
