ILR fees -- which fees to pay

Post by stalwar » Tue May 09, 2017 11:16 am

Hi, I have an ILR appointment (premium) on 10th May. I had taken this appointment on 4th April (before the increased fees had kicked in) and therefore had paid the old fees.

Would I be asked to pay the increased fees when I go for the appointment? I have tried calling UKVI a couple of times and have got different answers. Could someone please clarify.

Thanks in advance,

The fee you have paid when you booked is the only fee you pay.

They don't take payments at premium centres anymore anyway.

Thanks for the reply. However, the UKVI customer care that I talked to told me

a) old fees but be prepared to pay the reminder
b) absolutely. you will have to pay the difference at the counter in the premium center

So, I am confused. Also, which form should I fill and carry. The new form has the new payment details and the old one may not be accepted

Yest another prime example of poor advice being given by the UKVI 'help line'! My understanding is that this service is outsourced to agency staff who have had very limited training in UK immigration issues. :!:

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.
