there were some people who got their JR ILR in June and still waiting for the cheque ...munawer wrote:they will send you a cheque within 4 weeks.
No. This does not apply to WP holders at all.taliska wrote:Hi I held a work permit from 2003 it was issued for 5yrs so i did not need to change over to the HSMP when it came in, however the year (from 4 to 5yrs)i would have been qualified to gain ILR was changed which extended my wait by a year and alsoincreased the fees I had to pay for my ILR. Are the refunds in relation to this change in fees? Would i Qualify for a refund othe extra fee i payed?
I have called HO today and they according to the contact centre agent there is no update on my file after the ILR (i.e. no communication or activity). He did mentioned that if I got the letter saying that I will be getting the refund then I will get it, he seems to have no answer for the delay.tech wrote:I agree with you. There is no guidance on this but It is down to caseworker to decide whether an applicant is eligible for refund and there should be note to say refund should be processed. As reported in hsmp forum link, there are many cases where refunds were denied especially where caseworker decided applicant needed an second extension to qualify for ILR.
Have you called Home office and talked about your refund ?
Hi gloria, just write to the address appeared in your ILR/Refund letter as I have called HO and he advise me to do so as well. Witting a reminder letter to any other address might not speed up the processing on your refund application.gloria wrote:It has been more than 2 months in my case. I got the ILR letter saying that I would be eligible for a refund of my second extension and they would process it. I am going to contact them in case they forget it.
I have called general enquiry number 08706067766, and opt for general enquiry (general queue), agent asked for my reference number and then told me that there is no update and he can't do anything (it looks like agents are not trained to answer these type of queries). He advise me to write a reminder letter to the case worker (same address as on the approval letter). He told me NOT to use the HO refund form as this might confused the worker and the processing might take longer then expected (hah... don't know that they call longer, it is already 2 months now).tech wrote:Can you please tell me which number did you call ? I am not getting anywhere with this.
If you haven't received the letter with your ILR (I am assuming that you applied after the JR, and you were not requiored to send HO the refund form) stating that the one off payment is due then I am afraid it is very unlikely that you would receive a refund.supercreature wrote:Pisces
I have not got any letter from HO at the time of ILR success. Still, I would say there was clear mentioning at the UKBA website that "if you are successful in ILR JR you will get the refund and you dont need to do any thing".
can any one please share the refund policy page link from UKBA website... I am afraid I've lost it ...
