Cancel Set(F) and reapply with parent applying for settlement

[gskolhe]

Hi,

I received ILR Set(LR) in July and applied for Set(F) for my 9 year old son around the end of July. I paid for super-priority processing but realised while uploading the documents that I chose the wrong category. My son isn't on a family visa but is a dependent on my wife who has Tier 2 General visa. He hasn't completed the long residency route like me. I immediately submitted a cancellation request to the Home Office but never received any acknowledgement. So I again submitted a fresh cancellation request 2 days ago only to not receive any email acknowledgement again.

Now my wife is about to complete her 5 years on Tier 2 General in 3 week's time and my son is eligible to apply along with her. My questions are as below-
1. How do I know if the Home office has received and is considering my cancellation request?
2. Do I continue to wait for cancellation processing or go ahead and submit a fresh application for my son as a Tier 2 dependent?
3. If I submit a fresh apllication, do i need to mention the earlier application as "pending" or can just ignore?
4. The earlier application is asking me to attend a biometric appointment by 2nd Oct. What will happen if I don't do anything and home office doesn't respond by then? Will it get cancelled and refunded automatically? Or will I lose the money?

Thank you in advance!

1. You would not know. Did you ask for withdrawal here: https://eforms.homeoffice.gov.uk/outrea ... ments.ofml
2. You do not need to wait for anything. Add the child to your wife's SET(O) application
3,4. Noting happens. You may ignore it and instead ask for a refund:

Thank you @zimba. Yes, that's the link I followed for raising a withdrawal request. Thanks for the guidance on the rest of the queries.
