Refund from UKBA

[jaison142000]

Dear All (An especially Tier 1),

I was on a work permit from 2008 and my wife joined me as a Work permit dependent from June 2011. I was under old rules before PBS came in.

I got my ILR in Feb 2013 and applied for my wife's FLR M after that by post. I did not know I could apply for her for ILR at the same time as me. No where on the UKBA site it mentioned about rules for Old Style Work Permit Dependants. Or any transitional arrangements. So with the information available about the rules before 9th July 2012 I assumed she would have to wait for a 2 year period from the date she entered UK.

She got her Biometric approval letter and for her postal application this week (11April2013) but the visa was granted for 30 months. The letter also mentioned that after which she could apply for another extension and then after 5 years apply for ILR. I called up home office and they put me on hold and checked and said ya she could have applied with me and that the rules keep changing. They said she can apply anytime now with Set (O) form.

Please advice me if I could now apply would they reject it ?? Do I have to send all over again because they did not inform me properly on their website ???? Also could I claim the money back for the FLR m application and difference from new application and is applying together in the first place.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanking you.
