It is £200 per year, payable upfront. So if a 2.5 year visa the surcharge will be £500.
I'm the main applicant from india. My husband holds a PR in UK.
I have applied settlement visa on 15-09-2017.
I have selected: settlement, settlement, wife
I have paid.my visa application fees: £119850 and IHS Fees is £510.

In this forum everyone saying that IHS Fee is £600 for settlement wife visa. But the system showed me £510 when i tried to pay IHS Fee. Im so confused whether i paid the fees CORRECT or WRONG.

PLease someone help me. My visa appointment date is on 25-09-2017. Help me please

Impossible that you have paid 119,850 POUNDS for a visa. Are you mistyping the ££ sign for your local currency sign? The visa fee in POUNDS is 1,464.

IHS should be £600. If you have not paid enough, likey you will be asked to pay the difference.

As CR001 noted, that's far too much!
1.4.1 Application for entry clearance on a route to settlement in the United Kingdom (that being an application made with a view to becoming ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom without being subject to any restriction on the period for which an individual may remain there) where the fee is not specified elsewhere in these Regulations.

£1,464

In which case, you may want to calculate the currency exchange from INR to GBP to confirm what amount exactly you've paid. :idea:

And the IHS fee you pay outstide the UK is usually around £634 due to the exchange rate fluctuations.

My understanding is that HO/UKVI use the link below for exchange rates.

When i was doing IHS payment, On the payment summary page it showed IHS fee as £510 only. Will i get any email from UK Visa & Immigration to pay the rest of the fee.

If yes- any time duration is there. My visa appointment date is on 25/09/2017.

And you are sure it didn't say INR51,000??

You will get an email at some point probably, likely after your appointment once your application starts being processed.

IHS:
Will they ask me to pay the whole IHS amount £634 or the remaining balance amount because i have already £510.

VISA FEE:
settlement- settlement- wife
I was unaware that the current settlement visa fee is £1464.
The system showed me the wrong settlement visa fee £1198 and i paid it.

Will i get an email to pay visa fee after my appointment once my application starts being processed as like IHS.

Or they will directly reject my visa application since the visa payment is not enough.

Please guide me. Im so confused right now

I actually am not sure what you have applied for. There is no visa with that exact visa fee you paid. I am also not sure what exchange rate you are using as HO have a set exchange rate which is usually slightly higher than the live rates.

Settlement/settlement/wife is correct though.

What have you posted an old link for and how does this relate to your questions?

Highly unlikely that you will pay the old fee, if that is the point you are trying to make.

You will likely be contactd if you have not paid sufficient. HO uses a different exchage rate to what you are probably using.

Yes the system showed the old fee of settlement visa not the current fee...
