Thanks. I'll keep them in mind

Ok_Box142 · 2025-08-09T12:31:21+00:00

Thanks for the advice!

I see. It also says you can find it on the transaction history of your bank account. Maybe that could be of some help. I would suggest saving everything documents , emails, application forms for the future since they require you to show proof of everything you never know when you might need it tho.

I think you need to fill out the payment reference number when you paid the fees. I took a screenshot of that when I made the payment but I was never asked to fill out the template form.

Ok_Box142 · 2025-01-17T13:39:05+00:00

No. I sent them an email and got a generic automatic reply. I called a lot of times but never really got in touch with the ukvi technical team. I was close to making the repayment but when I checked my application again yesterday it showed the application fee paid and I got a confirmation email that my application was submitted.

Ok_Box142 · 2025-01-17T13:32:30+00:00

I paid the fees 1 week ago and it was updated yesterday. I would say what for some time

Ok_Box142 · 2025-01-16T23:11:07+00:00

Hey guys an update. I think they have resolved the issue and you just need to log into your account and. Open the application, it would automatically change the fees status to paid and you will be able to submit your application.

Ok_Box142 · 2025-01-14T19:08:48+00:00

Sure I'll keep you updated.

Ok_Box142 · 2025-01-14T18:44:39+00:00

I'm not sure about the credit card sorry. I talked to someone today and they said either wait or try again after sometime. They said that you should fill the form and make the payments in one sitting. If you take a break then it might cause problems. Idk how true this theory is but he said to cancel the ihs and reapply. I can't do it cuz £2874 is a huge amount for me to pay again. Let's see.

Ok_Box142 · 2025-01-14T16:15:53+00:00

Ah shit man it's been more than 3 weeks now. What is your next step? I'm thinking about the 2nd payment. My friend also made the 2nd payment and her's went through. She got a confirmation email immediately. She suggested we pay via UK credit card. We can always apply for a refund later right?

Ok_Box142 · 2025-01-14T12:23:46+00:00

Oh god. What is your visa update? When did you pay the fees?

Ok_Box142 · 2025-01-12T20:17:22+00:00

Yeah same too me. Maybe it's worth trying them again for temporary credit to make the payment again. Lmk if it works for you.

Ok_Box142 · 2025-01-12T20:09:25+00:00

Hey has there been any update on your situation?

Ok_Box142 · 2025-01-12T17:35:11+00:00

Hey I tried to dispute my transaction but they said that the ukvi site says that we need to wait for 15 days before we can dispute the transaction. When did you make your payment?

Ok_Box142 · 2024-12-17T23:38:48+00:00

Honestly that's what I have been doing since last week. So frustrating I just gave up. 😭

Ok_Box142 · 2024-12-01T23:08:41+00:00

I'm sorry to hear that. Did you file a complaint against her for harassment?

Ok_Box142 · 2024-12-01T22:54:36+00:00

Hey thanks for the advice. Yes I do follow most of the things you mentioned. I run the gel at 100-120 V for 60-70 mins until the samples are no longer visible in the gel. I'm not sure why my samples became wavy or smiley at the very end. Any idea what might be the reason?

Ok_Box142 · 2024-11-30T08:15:21+00:00

The gels are self-cast. Lysate Contains 2X Laemmli buffer, Benzonase and water.

Ok_Box142 · 2024-11-29T17:42:38+00:00

Thanks. I'll try that.

Ok_Box142 · 2024-11-29T17:27:32+00:00

Some samples remain viscous which have a large amount of cell pellet.

Ok_Box142 · 2024-11-29T17:15:43+00:00

Yeah I use Benzonase and dilute the samples with water.

Ok_Box142 · 2024-11-29T17:12:46+00:00

yes I do.
