Re: Student Finance Residency

were you at school? registered with a gp? home office may not have anything unless you had a visa to cover that period (and a visa in itself doesn't prove residency under the student finance regs. have you spoken to advice service at uni for support with application?

Re: IHS Refund on dependant visa

The IHS has nothing to do with whether a person pays NI or tax. almost all non eea migrants now pay it as part of their visa application even if they are coming here to work (eg on a tier 2 visa). your wife isn't entitled to a refund.

Re: PLAB test

You are only exempt if your partner is exercising treaty rights (eg working) in another EU state where you are both living and you are returning to the UK from there. if are currently in Australia and your partner is in the UK you won't qualify.

are you and your partner married?

the website is clear that there is no guarantee of a same day decision if you pay for the premium service. unfortunately you will just need to wait and ensure you comply with requests for further info or interview.

Always advisable to keep more than the required amount if you are holding it in a foreign currency
