IHS PARTIAL REFUND MEANS postive ????

[nevergiveup88]

Can Macrath , C001, and Zimba please advise on this
Home office website


5. Refunds

You don’t need to do anything to get an IHS refund - it’s automatically paid to the account or card you paid with.

You’ll get a full IHS refund if:

you paid twice
your visa application is refused
you withdraw your visa application
You’ll get a partial IHS refund if your visa application’s successful but:

you get less time on your visa than you asked for
any dependants on your visa application are refused

I didn’t understand the last two lines?

Agree that is what it looks like. But there have been cases here where rejection has happened after partial refund.

So you can't make any definite conclusion until you get the letter from HO

I personally know couple of cases where applicant got ihs refund and then they called for interview.
I haven't seen any refusal after partial refused.
I also receive partial refund yesterday but I'm not 100% convinced that it will mean approval.
I will still rate it 30% approval and 70% interview or additional documents request.

[nevergiveup88]

As per home office once your case decided then they process your partially refunds , so what made you say that 30% apprpval And 70% additional documents requested and Interview .

Look this case

uk-tier-1-entrepreneur-visas/tier-1-ext ... 46954.html

Applicant got partial refund and interview call as well.

[nevergiveup88]

He got interview email , then partial refund.

I have Tier 1 extn application pending. I received a letter for some for documents on 12/12 and even before I could send those papers back (20/12), I received the partial refund on 18/12. So I guess, there is no correlation.

Thanks Momi. Hopefully.

I saw Gemk, who has similar timelines as mine, receive the partial refund on 15/12 and approval on 11/01. So I am hoping to get an answer in next few days.

Official communication is via post. IHS refund means nothing.
This has been discussed many times before. Please wait to hear back from HO.
