Priority Service

[sealy88]

Hi!

I applied for a Tier 4 visa from the USA. When I went to pay for my visa application on the uk.gov website, there were various payment options (standard, priority, bronze, silver, and gold). I picked priority and paid for my application, which was about $738 (about $420 for a standard visa and $296 for the priority service).

I did not purchase the priority service through VFS Global, but directly on the visa application from UKVI. I didn't get a receipt to print out for priority service, just a summary of my visa application with priority written at the end.

I'm concerned that my application won't be processed as priority if I don't have a VFS receipt even though I paid for priority service. Will they still know that I paid directly through UKVI and not VFS?

Haven't been able to find an answer and everyone I have contacted has not been responsive so I am worried!

Thanks!
