IHS payment and premium service appointment for FLR (M)

Post by gamgee23 » Mon Jun 04, 2018 1:15 pm

Dear all,

Apologies if my following question has already been answered. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find the answer. This would be my first non-point based system visa application. I am applying for FLR (M) for the first time (Switching from Tier 4 General). My question is related to use of the IHS number. I had filled half the FLR (M) online and was looking out for premium appointments, I booked the first one that was available (Mid July, 2018). I understand (correct me if I'm wrong) that when the premium appointment is booked, the payment includes the visa fee along with the premium appointment booking fee as well. Meanwhile, while filling the online application I paid the IHS surcharge but did not complete the online application. I instead decided to use the IHS number for a printed out (manually filled) form which I wish to take to the premium appointment. As I have already paid for the IHS surcharge and the premium appointment independent of each other, can I still take the printed out and manually filled application form with the same IHS number and payment confirmation along with the premium appointment (payment) confirmation on the day I head to the premium centre? If I go back to complete the online form it requires me to pay the visa fee once again?

Have I messed up? or is there a way out? or can I attend my appointment with where I stand with my situation?

Any suggestion, advice, help, reprimands are welcome.

Thank you very much.

No issue to do what you have done. You have paid IHS and paid for your visa and appointment.

I have just done the exact same thing. Started an application months ago online left it incomplete. Paid for premium booking and IHS.

Please can you confirm that paying for Visa+IHS and filling in paper form by hand is acceptable?

many thanks

1. Please start your own topic instead of tagging onto another members thread.

2. If you have not completed the online form as part of the process of IHS and booking an appointment, you can complete the paper form yes.
