Did you apply in person or by post?

Unlikely you have been granted ILR with the fee not taken.

You need to provide a bit more immigration history for anyone to offer advice.

The fee must have been taken, probably within a couple of weeks of posting your application.

Did you apply to vary an application you submitted (tier 1 extension) or just a direct Set(LR) application??

[zeeshanumer]

yes should be taken within few weeks and i was keep looking on my bank statement

should have taken before biometric appointment what i knew!!!

i have applied just straight ILR on long residency base, never vary

Suggest look through bank statements again. I would be very surprised if HO 'forgot' to take your fee.

[zeeshanumer]

same as i am surprised never happened in last 10 years

come across through web search and friends suggestion fee taking process through partner company of HO

and could be request for fee or be take before ( Audit ) in april if its true

what you suggest should i contact with HO or should i send cheque with payable to HO ?

[CR001]

HO takes the fees themselves, not third party involved in this.

You might be the luckiest soul in this expensive rat race! You did what you had to do so just sit back and chill. They had your payment details so will take it if they want and no obligation on you to chase anything. They would have kept the full fee even if they rejected your case for the tiniest of grounds so makes for a change when tables turned haha.

I also got lucky and got my full NHS surcharge refunded when switching from FLR(M) to ILR (LR) after 8 months so it can happen

Fee of £1875 implies it was by post
