Hey did you actually receive an email that is has been processed or that it is being prepared by the ECO?
My online application was 30th June 2015 and biometrics 15th July 2015 so kind of similar to your timeline. I've so far received an email that states it is being prepared by the ECO and nothing else since 19th August? Worried what if they have processed it and not sent an email on collecting the passport and etc.

Thank You

Hi, my timeline is very similar to yours. I was just wondering do you see any button for IHS refund when you log in? I know it's early for us yet but I just checked for this button and don't see one anywhere to request a refund when I log in.

Im sure you are meant to have a IHS refund button when you apply for your application initially and that is got ridden of once processed? Anyone have a clarification?

I have no IHS refund button available either and I have not received any official email that is has been processed. I have only received so far that it is being prepared by an eco which was on 19th August.

Okay, I am not sure if this is right and I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong but since they changed the payment method of IHS to integrate it into the online application rather than there being a separate account for it, maybe we do not have this option for anyone who has applied after they changed it? Is this correct or do applicants who have paid this way still have the refund option? Please advise if you have of where it can be found. Thanks

It makes sense that anyone who done it before they integrated it with the online application may not have the option on the separate log in site for IHS.

InshALLAH my husband will be with me on 7 October.

I will pray for you all that you get your visas and all be reunited with your spouses.

Honest truth is I thought my visa was going to be rejected because I applied with overtime and I did not make over 1550 every month. I did however have 25,000 in the bank but even that was shy of the 6 months. Maybe I just got a good guy who thought oh well it looks good enough and give the visa. I'm just grateful to the almighty ALLAH.
