Question about IHS refund

[sunoo]

Hi Everyone,

A quick question from all of you. If visa have been refused the IHS refund will be straightway?

The reason I am asking this question is that I just done a status check on my Mrs application and they replied me saying a decision have been made. I am staying positive but asking it just as a question.

Does anyone have any experience?

Regards

Hi,

I am in the same boat - a decision has been made (checked status by email) - but they have not made any formal contact or invited applicant to the VAC yet to collect the passport.

I have heard that if it is a refusal they payment does get refunded even before u collect the passport.

Someone who have been refused can give us the better answer. I checked status via email today and they replied in half an hour saying a decision have been made. I am not sure when they made decision as this is first time I checked the status.

If you ring them - they tell u the exact time and date the decision was made. Inshallah it will be good news

But they won't tell me what the decision is

So I better wait

I dont think they refund IHS straight away in all cases as many people opt for appeal . Tracking status suggested decision has been made in my family case

I did involved MP earlier and he told me that settlement visa has been issued to my spouse and kid but i still have doubts as seeing is believing

[Hussaini Z]

Im dreading it... its so silly the keep telling you a decision has been made but not even a hint of the outcome

[sunoo]

Is there anyway to find out the outcomes?

I was only joking but really appreciate your response

All the best and hopeful your applications were successful.

My wife's visa was refused and I got the IHS fee refunded only after 2 weeks.

Can you please share the reason of the refusal?

THE ONLY PROBLEM IS MY WIFE'S ID CARD HAS EXPIRED! lol will this cause an issues when she goes to collect it tomorow?

[sunoo]

It shouldn't be an issue as the passport will be on her name. She can take any other form of identity with her. When was your last status check which informed you that decision have been made?

[Hussaini Z]

Decision was made 29/09/2016 @ 1pm collection email came today.

[sunoo]

Fingers crossed. Hope you will get a positive response. Visa will be valid from 29 of October I guess.

[Hussaini Z]
