Faux pas! Please help!

OK.

Yes - no point crying over spilt milk. But I've previously had very good experience with immigration and I truly find them fair (so far) so I keep my faith.

Thank you again.

Nationality is NOT the same as immigration. Two very different sets of rules and laws.

[chrisologist]

Couldn't you just have not sent your biometrics? My understanding is that the application is then invalid and they refund you the fee minus a processing fee of £25?

[ohara]

If your application is refused you get £80 back - the fee for the ceremony which you won't be taking.

Since 18th March 2016 the AN fee is £1236 by the way

[chrisologist]

Yes, all of that has been pointed out already.

What I'm saying is to just not submit the biometrics if there's been a mistake - then they will not process the application and refund him the fee (minus the £25)

[Pubali]

I want to confirm that my application has been rejected (as per rules - no surprises there) but I've also received correspondence saying that a request for refund of fees has been made on the system. As before this has reaffirmed my faith in the immigration system - it all seems very fair! To me anyway.

I'll let you know once I get the refund and meanwhile I'm reapplying on Wednesday using the NCS - so all should be fine this time round!

Have a good day everyone

[Pubali]

I want to give everyone some good news - my application fee of 925 GBP is being refunded.

It is as I believed, the system is fair - and I've never had any reason to moan and complain - or to believe those who think negatively about it!

I've since applied again, through NCS, should get my citizenship soon.

Good day everyone!

You are a person we all can learn something from. You make me believe in the law of attraction. Your case could be a great example of "The Power of Thinking Positive".

Good luck. Keep faith and the good will happen. It proves it in your case.

That's all. Nothing more to say.

[Pubali]

Thanks!

The system's fair - I've always believed that.

And now my second application has been successful and I've got 21 days to arrange for the citizenship ceremony - just got the letter through the post. All in all, a great experience, no hassles (except those caused by my own mistakes).

Great news

Patience, positivity and accepting what is (rather than wishing it were otherwise) wins the day.

Congratulations. I hope that you participate in the British way of life with the same positive attitude.
