**** IHS top-up **** urgent

Post by Imransyed295 » Thu Apr 04, 2024 7:33 pm

I received an email saying I need to pay IHS top-up but I paid full amount when I applied.

I clicked the link in the email but it shows that I still need to pay full amount.

What to do I only have 5 working days to reply.

Are you sure the original payment went through and did not get stuck in pending and then rejected?

What was the amount in GBP you paid? Not everyone on the forum knows the difference currencies, we only use GBP when advising.

The IHS for a 2 year 9 month spouse visa is £3,105 for one applicant. So how much in ££ did you pay with the application?

So you haven't paid enough and need to pay the top up, which is what the email is asking you for. If you do not pay it, the application will be refused.

What date did you apply and when were the biometrics enrolled?

Well you did the application, presumably on behalf of your spouse. What time did you receive any email confirmation or anything like that?

Or was the application submitted online from Pakistan?

Indicating you paid very close to 12am and fell into the trap of trying to beat the system that many unfortunately do. Your application date is then likely considered the 6th February, after the increase came into effect.

You don't really have any option but to pay to be honest.

I have to wonder why you left it so late especially when you have been asking about the spouse visa since August 2022.
