UKBA is a proper multi million business and one of the top most revenue generating organisation.

May be a dumb question. Can we challenge the fee increase as its not proportinal for all categories

If its increased due to inflation - it should be proportional ?

The whole reason behind this steep increase in price is to put people off applying at PEO's

Think challenging that will be a waste of time

It is british business so has to be rip-off and poor customer service.

I guess many immigrants will be looking to emigrate if current economic environment persist as forecasted.

Whole idea of increasing the fees is purely from service point of view. To get a decision on a Postal application it is after nearly 6 months. Where as in a PEO appointment with in few hours. Hence the increase in fees and smiling CWs. Also no stress for the applicant as well.

Not sure if they are looking in terms of increasing Case worker's pay. When i went for my appt, during the light moment of sharing jokes he did mention that they dont get paid a lot(there is no smoke without fire) and kept moaning about it. Interesting eh!?!

I'm planning to write to my MP about this, because I think it's not a fair call; especially when it's not a proportionate rise.

Writing to the MP- Something I learnt by taking life in the uk test
