Do I just pay the £1000 just to get a reference number?
Why do you believe you will be entitled to a refund or are exempt from paying IHS??And can I get it refunded easily?
In old golden days, paying IHS wasn't part of any immigration related applications which is now mandatory even someone is working for NHS.Tallywithme wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2019 12:52 pmI do not necessarily believe that I am exempt or entitled.

No special exemption or benefits cover simply because you work in the NHS. You have to pay the IHS charge. You would even need to pay the IHS if you had private medical insurance.Tallywithme wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2019 12:52 pmI do not necessarily believe that I am exempt or entitled.

Thank you for clarifying because even after 15yrs, this is the first time I am having to pay it. I did think it is a recent mandatory thing.seagul wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2019 1:15 pmIn old golden days, paying IHS wasn't part of any immigration related applications which is now mandatory even someone is working for NHS.Tallywithme wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2019 12:52 pmI do not necessarily believe that I am exempt or entitled.

It has been the case since April 2015 when it was introduced and a small number of nationalities were exempt in the first year and a certain work visa was exempt until a year ago.Tallywithme wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2019 1:40 pmThank you for clarifying because even after 15yrs, this is the first time I am having to pay it.

You should or might get an option for which service you want to choose to use. To book a UKCVAS appointment, it is at the end of the application process as far as I understand and obviously depends on the service you choose and how much extra you pay.Tallywithme wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2019 2:36 pmOh no! I followed the link you posted with the application form. It is saved until I can pay for the IHS. Am I supposed to be using that site?
As you stated CR001, I did not get all the options at the end of my online application. Unfortunately I had to do everything at work using my pc. My macbook at home kept crashing really badly. So I was offered to book over the phone and did. I am submitting my documments and biometrics in 2 weeks. I paid £2800 in total for everything. So fingers crossed it is a smooth application this time.CR001 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2019 2:38 pmYou should or might get an option for which service you want to choose to use.

Please note that we don't all have access or sight of the online forms and options.
