Guest AmandainOz Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 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

I'm assuming you're the primary applicant. Cheers Peter
calNgary Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 It may just be a mistake so check with them before paying,maybe call them first thing monday if you can (sunday for you),,good luck Cal x
Guest AmandainOz Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 Amanda, Is your partner British too? I'm assuming you're the primary applicant. Cheers Peter 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 ........ :wacko:

pommysteve Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Eh? why would other half / partner / wife / husband need IELTS if they have a British Passport? News to me?
Dawn75 Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 This is a very old post ? But no if you have British passport you dont need to do the IELTS test.
