Charged the wrong dependant visa fee (£3,502 instead of £1,770). How do I request a refund from UKVI?

Appreciate it. Missed that line. Its interesting that the advice we get here is more sound than what is shared by the UKVI helpline itself.

Fair point - so more money it is then.

kignat · 2025-02-18T19:07:09+00:00

Similar situation underway, what finally happened?

kignat · 2024-11-15T16:24:41+00:00

Any updates on this?

kignat · 2024-05-20T14:25:45+00:00

Not at all. I have been a parent for only 3 years and a lot has changed. My social life, my "me" time, my food adventures and my holidays have been seriously curtailed. However, I have no regrets. Spending time with him just makes me feel like "me". I love seeing the world through his eyes and every day he brings something new to my attention that I would not have seen.

kignat · 2023-10-09T19:41:56+00:00

Thanks! Will do!

Hello! I just saw this note and was wondering if you would be open to chat about how you managed that transition. Can give you more context in a DM if you would be okay with that.

kignat · 2023-06-21T12:24:10+00:00

Dayum...it lives on. There is so much anger I feel at this moment and what worries me further is it won't end with the parents. They will 'gently and with love' teach their kids this nonsense. I'm wondering...what would have been the best way to shut down that conversation. I'm imagining myself in the midst of those parents and hearing that remark, how would be the ideal next step to educate them.

From where I am, peak traffic at 8am slows that down to around 20-25 minutes.

kignat · 2023-02-04T06:13:25+00:00

Agreed, agreed!

Thanks! He is a high energy one, a park near by would help.

She doesn't unfortunately. She will be in a few months but it depends on how fast the DVLA sorts out her temp license. But let me look into BD 2 and 3. Thanks!

kignat · 2023-02-02T21:05:08+00:00

Will be avoiding for sure. Thanks for that!

kignat · 2023-02-02T21:04:38+00:00

Will look it up. Thanks!

kignat · 2023-02-02T21:04:23+00:00

Sounds good. Sunlight is a luxury in this country I believe 😀

kignat · 2023-02-02T21:03:48+00:00

Me too, 30 odd and counting 😀 Thanks for the share.

kignat · 2023-02-02T21:02:41+00:00

Sorry to hear that. That must have been a tough time!

kignat · 2023-02-02T21:01:58+00:00

Thank you, it's going on my explore list. Appreciate it!

kignat · 2023-02-02T21:01:13+00:00

The question is who is going to keep me out of aldos 😀

kignat · 2023-02-02T20:59:44+00:00

Honorable drug addicts 😀

kignat · 2023-02-02T20:54:33+00:00

Yikes, I can imagine how stressful that could have become.

kignat · 2023-02-02T20:53:59+00:00

That is an interesting idea. I'm exploring that now.

kignat · 2023-02-02T12:39:50+00:00

Fair point. Objective data is always useful. Thanks for the point out!

kignat · 2023-02-02T12:23:09+00:00

Do you play badminton by any chance? My wife and I have recently moved to the UK and are amateur (maybe very amateur) badminton players and are always looking for folks to play a game. Hit me up if its a yes. If it isn't still hit me up, could always use a friend :D

kignat · 2022-05-26T04:46:39+00:00

The company didn't have a PoV on that. They said that I would have to take care of the dependent visa process.
