Fee waiver application

[kamsi]

I am due to submit an application for leave to remain extension in January 2022 but prior to that I’ll be asking for a fee waiver.

Does anyone know how long it’s taking to consider fee waiver applications (i.e from the time the request is submitted and to when a reply is received from UKVI)?

There is a thread that more or less caters for this...search for the FLR FP

Hi all,

I will be submitting a fee waiver application in the next 3-4 weeks and I wondered if anyone knew how long it’s taking to hear back after the application is submitted.

I know that no two cases are ever the same, it would give me an indication of how long I would be waiting before getting a response.

Thanks

One fee waiver application I am aware of took 2 months to approve two years ago (incl. the Christmas period)

Thank you very much Manci.

Most of the posts I have ready, Fee waiver takes up to 2 months. They must have a deadline which it is not known to us.
I can’t see the agency takes longer time to decide as your circumstances might change. For instance, the agency decides you will pay half of fee due to the evidence you had submitted with your application. But if they took long time to make the decision. Your financial circumstances might have changed, probably you have lost your job and used all your savings.

I applied for a fee waiver a month ago and still waiting for the outcome. I wanted to ask if anyone has applied recently and has an idea how long it takes to process the application.

Secondly are decisions of the application communicated via email or letter.

Thanks!

Two months after applying for fee and IHS waivers and having not received a decision I emailed the Team last night to chase it up and received a decision today.

Visa application fee waiver was rejected but the IHS was accepted. I currently work for the NHS and have done so since 2013.
