2nd Installment for Visa attached to my Pre-grant Letter?

AmandainOz · 14-12-2007, 07:17 AM

Hi all

At last I have received my pre-grant letter via email today. However, attached to this letter was a "2nd Instalment Visa Application Charge (VAC 2) Payment requst."

Now, I am confused. I paid my initial fee like everyone else at the time of application. So why are they requesting I pay a 2nd fee of $2765? I checked on their website and it said something about a 2nd Intstalment Charge for those with less than functional english. But I am English! Would it be for another reason? I've emailed them, but its weekend, they are closed now and this is gonna bug me all weekend!

Can anyone help? Pleeeeeeease !

Amanda

Amanda,

Is your partner British too? I'm assuming you're the primary applicant.

Thanks Peter and Cal, Yeah I'm the primary applicant and partner British too! I'm assuming that it is just a mistake.

I am right in saying that we don't have to pay the second installment though aren't I? I'm worried now as I have really not budgeted for this extra cost.

I'll call them Monday! Not only that but they got my address half wrong too!

Biting my nails until Monday now ........
