IHS reference no. after successful UK Spouse Visa appeal

[Hopeful_Soul]

Dear All,

Greetings!

This forum has been of immense help for us, while we were waiting for the appeal response from the tribunal.

However, by god's grace, we have been able to get the original decision withdrawn from the tribunal and we have submitted the passport and paid the IHS fees through the link which was provided to us in an email from Visa center. After which we have received this email informing us that we will be getting another email, which will confirm our IHS number that we need to email to Visa center guys in New Delhi. We haven't received any email from them so far however, I was just wondering is the payment reference number is same as the IHS reference number required by them. I am pasting a part of that email below. I will really appreciate it if someone can advise us regarding the same:

TRANSACTION CONFIRMATION

Thank you

Waiting for some positive response from the friendly forum.

When we paid our IHS recently we got the same email as you first then a second one literally one minute later. The second email confirmed our IHS reference number which was the same as the payment reference number. Have you checked your junk mail?

Thanks Katie... your response is very much appreciated.

No, we didnt get the second email and we did check the junk email as well.

but its ok, even i was thinking that it should be the same number, I just wanted to double check it with more experienced ppl in this forum.

As expected, this forum once again provided the required information.

Thank you

I will update you regarding the updates in our case.

Thanks...
