I was wondering if paying for the healthcare surcharge will class as the beginning of the application date, or is that only when we submit and pay for the application?
34G of the immigration rules refers to the date of submission without specific reference to
payment.
For the purposes of these rules, the date on which an application (or a variation of application in accordance with paragraph 34E is made is:
(1) where the paper application form is sent by post by Royal Mail, whether or not accompanied by a fee waiver request form, the date of posting as shown on the tracking information provided by Royal Mail or, if not tracked, by the postmark date on the envelope; or
(2) where the paper application form is sent by courier, or other postal services provider, the date on which it is delivered to the Home Office; or
(3) where the application is made via the online application process, and there is no request for a fee waiver, the date on which the online application is submitted; or
(4) where the online application includes a request for a fee waiver, the date on which the online request for a fee waiver is submitted, as long as the completed application for leave to remain is submitted within 10 days of the receipt of the decision on the fee waiver application.
I have a bank statement arriving on the 16/01/2021. We began the application 02/01/2021 and have paid the healthcare surcharge, but we have yet to pay for the application.
If the statement is to evidence a payment
received prior to the date of application for example, it can be submitted and should not be a problem.
