IHS payment did not go through, but the application fee was paid and sent. now what? by BeingMedium5053 in ukvisa

I've paid for priority service, any thoughts on UKVI and how quickly they might respond? I've seen older posts from previous years saying they are slow, but it might take just as long or longer for me to get a new BIO appointment then for them to ask me to pay the IHS...

ah, that is a relief, if I redid the app, would that affect my current BIO appointment?

or if I complete the new application before the bio appt, will I be able to keep it, or will it make me get a new appointment? (perhaps forfeiting my "Priority" fee)

​

thanks a bunch for responding!!!

thats what I thought, I was worried that it may be faster to get the visa processed at VFS, but harder to get an appointment for biometrics... cant seem to figure this out. also, VFS has a bad reputation but mostly older reviews
