tier 2 rejected - will the fees be refunded

Post by rubzye » Thu Mar 01, 2012 9:12 pm

hi..

i have reapplied for my visa refusal in January and have made a second payment of 550 pounds and have my visa approved.. however, i am wondering if my first payment would be refunded as it was rejected? or did anyone try to ask for a refund from UKBA?

many thanks for your advice in advance..

No, there is no refund. It's a visa processing fee; you are paying for the procedure that considers your application rather than paying for the visa itself.

OK Guys good news- I have just received my Biometrics card and the passport is on its way and hopefully I will get it tomorrow. I will be updating the sticky timeline once I have everything by tomorrow. Also, interestingly I asked my HR to check my COS status history yesterday and apparently someone in UKBA used my COS at 8.15 am on 03/03( sat)...strange, Good luck rest of you guys.
