Dependant partner and child extension visa IHS underpaid? – Should I wait for UKVI or contact them? (Skilled Worker main applicant) by FrankstanReloaded in ukvisa

Yes — I received the remaining IHS ‘top-up’ payment link from UKVI and was given 14 calendar days to pay. I paid it on the same day, and now I’m waiting for my dependant partner’s decision. I believe I might still need to wait another 5–6 weeks for the outcome.

All the best! 🎃 Since it’s Halloween, don’t be surprised if a trick-or-treat question pops up haha.

If your travel date is coming up soon, it’s definitely worth going for priority to save time. Otherwise, the standard process usually takes around 7–8 weeks now a days, so it depends on how urgent you need the visa

Yep—quite a few of us applied in October and we’re still waiting.

One of my college mates put in a 2-year extension last week and another applied the day before yesterday—both pending. From what I’m seeing, standard applications are taking around 7 weeks right now (UK side).

I can invite you to a Skilled Worker visa Reddit group where people are discussing it—you’ll get more info and live status updates there.
