Yes Joint Fee to be correct with the naming.Obie wrote:I think there is a clear distinction here, between Joint Fee for spouse or civil partner's applications, which is £850 and a Joint Application Fee, which is what you are purporting, which doesn't exist.
You get a concession for applying at the same time as a spouse or civil partner living in the same household, but your applications are assessed individually, they are not intertwined.
It is highly probable they are processed together, but the decisions are independent of each other.
Also discretion can be allowed in your case if you meet these set criteria .
I think you are correct. The fee does constitutute Application Fee + Ceremony Fee. I am not sure though if it is a matter of £850 - £720 to get the ceremony fee for the 'second' applicant, i think there may be part of an 'application fee' on top of the ceremony fee. If there is anyone who has been refused or knows someone who has it would be good to know how much was refundedSten wrote:As I understand the joint application fee = single application fee + ceremony fee for the second applicant. So although, as you say, these are two individual cases, but the fee they charge suggests the possibility that it will be processed at once.
Otherwise what is the difference apart from the price between sending two separate applications or one joint in this case ?
The absence was due to child birth, it's a sort of grey area. This is mentioned as a valid exception for EEA applicants, but not for others.
