Tier 1 50k Team ext Approved after 10 months

[im2018]

By the grace of Allah our team extension has been approved after 10 months.

Both members interviewed separately by HO.

Additional documents requested after interview and received approval on Dec 28th.

So a ray of hope for all applicants waiting.

Only one advice is to follow guidance and keep paperwork tidy and to the point instead of making it difficult for caseworker.

Thanks and good luck to all.

You have to get your IHS refund. Keep chasing. They should also be paying you interest if it delays much more.

Thanks @marcnath . I will ring them today to vet any update.

@marcnath its been more than 6 weeks since my visa was approved, but I have not received any IHS refund as yet.
My team member has received his refund couple of weeks back.

I rang UKVI and they asked me to send a letter to their sheffield address, which I have already done.

Just wondering if I need to do any other thing or just keep waiting for their reply.

Thanks.

Please WAIT to get back the refund. We cannot help you on this

Thanks for replying

Just to let all members know I received IHS refund after almost 10 weeks of visa approval, after contacting UKVI by post to process my refund.

So anybody waiting for IHS refund could try sending them a letter by post on their Sheffield office.
