As already advised if your other posts, you should not have paid the IHS Surcharge. But if you have in fact applied for an unmarried partner visa, even if in error (from another one of your posts) and it is granted, the surcharge will be applicable and it is £600 for the first 33 month visa.

Do you think they going to grant me fiance visa if i made mistake of choosing wrong choice on the health surcharge ? Better it is paid than not paid. After all i will have to pay it anyway when i switch to a spouse visa on next step after our wedding.

If you have applied for a fiance visa, you DO NOT have to pay the health surcharge as the visa is valid for 6 months or less. You should seek a refund.

Not sure what you will be issued, your posts are a bit confusing on what you have selected for the VISA application.

For the visa application i called ukvisa and they told me i should select SETTLEMENT/ SETTLEMENT/MARRIAGE for a fiance visa. I hope the guy i spoke was right . its for the health surcharge i was confused i ended up paying £600.
