Hi All,
I need urgent Advice on am email from Home office on my PBS dependent Application
I have applied for PBS dependent VISA. Wife got Tier 2 on SOC.
Post submission of biometric i have received below email. The details in email are correct with respect to my personal details and application no
Please find attached a request for a top-up of fees paid for you and your children’s Tier 2 dependant application. This is because at the time of assigning the certificate of sponsorship for your wife her occupation was not on the shortage list. Therefore a fee is required for your applications to be valid. Until this is paid I will be unable to consider your applications.
Query
1. Does this seem a valid case that COS is issued on SOC and at the time of assignment Job got out of SOC. Currently, i see it is in SOC
2. The email is asking for a cheque or providing debit/credit card details. Does Home office ask for it over email, is there a way to pay online or via phone call as I am not sure if this is a legit request
3. The subject line seems incorrect, as it refer Tier 2 application Jun2019, though i have submitted in Jan
4. I have seen Home office site for advice. The email format is genuine as per home office recommendation i.e. name DOT surname AT homeoffice DOT gov DOT uk.
5. I called the Home Office care no, they said if email is legit as per format then you can provide card details, though their site mention to be suspicious if somebody ask for "they ask for your bank account or credit card details, or confidential information"
Please ADVICE ASAP
Thanks in advance
