Spoke to UKVI contact centre earlier today. They said since you raised the escalation on 2 Sep, you would have to wait another 6 weeks before refund is processed. Apparently, the escalation is now sitting with the refund team.

They have asked me to call back if I dont get a refund by mid October.

The application form does not give you any option to enter any IHS numbers. It would automatically take you to the IHS payment page.

I recently got my visa updated, and had to pay IHS again. Because of double payment, you should be eligible for a refund.

Hi there, I was on a three year Skilled Worker visa which was granted in Nov 2021, and as per the requirements, I paid the IHS upfront for the three years until Nov 2024. I recently moved to a different job and got my Skilled worker visa updated. With my current employer, my Skilled worker visa is n...

did you apply prioirtuy or standard and which city did you apply from in london or outside?

I applied on standard service and used the online app to verify the ID, so I never had to go to the UKVAC.

Got reply in exact 8 weeks.

Have a look at this too

If you are in skilled worker - Health care visa then you would have not paid IHS fee at first place. Have you paid IHS fee as part of your application? If yes is it by mistake or you were told to pay since your role is not eligible for IHS exemption. Usually NHS visa cell informs as a part of CoS i...

Gov.UK says - https://www.gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa/ ... r-employer

"Your partner or children will need to apply separately to update their visa. They can either apply at the same time as you, or at any time before their current visa expires."

I am still waiting for the BRP. I phone up TNT (courier company) who manage the delivery of BRPs through Royal Mail. They didnt have anything on their system until yesterday and asked to wait for another day or two. In terms of proving your right to work to the employer visit https://www.gov.uk/view...

Thank you for prompt reply.

"If you were lawfully working in the UK in a different job when you made this application for leave to remain, you may work out any contractual notice period for that job."

Same goes to me.
biometric was 23 May (standard)
I emailed UKVI for application status thrice, they replied me “ visa is awaiting a decision” every single time.

So frustrating with the waiting times

Hi

Can you please confirm the email address you used to contact UKVI?

Thanks

I applied on 27 May to get my visa updated on account of new job/employer. I used the UK ID check app. This is 7th week now and I have not heard any update from the UKVI. The joining date with the new employer is 1 Aug, and I am getting a little worried now, as I see many examples here where people...

I am in to my 7th week now and have not heard anything back yet. No request or any evidence, no acknowledgement, nothing. I saw a post from someone who applied on 1 June and has got a confirmation on 11 July, while some of us who applied in May are still waiting. Making me anxious now. (I applied fo...

This is the exact wording on Gov Uk, and it clearly says, they can apply anytime before their current visa expires... "Your partner or children will need to apply separately to update their visa. They can either apply at the same time as you, or at any time before their current visa expires.&qu...

Can CR001 please guide in this please?

The dependents do not have the main applicant's CoS mentioned on their BRPs. I checked this some time ago and was told that the dependents can apply at the same time as the main applicant, or anytime before the expiry of their current visas. It says exactly the same thing on the UKVI website
