Amending a Tier 2 Visa Application

[IrishScouser]

Hi Guys,

Thanks very much for your help in advance.

I am currently on a Tier 4 visa, and am upgrading to a Tier 2 visa with my new employer as a sponsor, applying from within the UK.

I had paid the international health surcharge (IHS) last year, and when applying for my Tier 2 visa, I typed in my IHS reference number from last year, which was accepted and paid my Tier 2 visa fee.

I now realize my IHS was only for 1 year, and my Tier 2 is for 3 years, therefore I needed a new IHS reference number.

Is there any way I can amend my Tier 2 application-Spoke to the people in IHS who said I need to cancel my application, therefore lose the application fee, resubmit a new application and get a new IHS.

I had thought I could simply update my IHS by paying for 3 years, and then add this onto my application-Would anyone have any experience or advice regarding this.

Many Thanks,
M

If you applied through Priority Service, it should be fine. I made the same mistake before and the emailed me telling me gheIHS number is an old one. And I just payed for a new one and e-mailed them back.

I got no clue about the Postal Standard service. Cause the case workers are off the grid and they don't even attempt to contact you.
