visa paid

when i did the online visa application i didnt do the premium one and did standard i not realize until after i done so i guess i be waiting alot longer for my visa now ,and no way going back get lounge service as i thought it was done with vfs but now it all in with visa i get ear biting from the misses again

Have you paid "all in" online for Visa and vfs ? how much was it?

We didn't do the premium service and it all went fine on our end.

Nickel i paid the ihs which was 600 pounds and the visa settlement/spouse was 1501.00 dollar which is about 979 pounds vfs add on you do after or u do with visa the premium which my wife ask me to do and i didnt do it just done standard

You can do the VHS premium service separately for 5,000 pesos - but be very sure that your other half prints off the receipt and takes it with her

Although you book the VFS appountment as part of the visa application, you pay for the Premium Lounge Service separately...

thanks for info guys ,,,

I noticed visa fee would vary ,depends on exchange rate on that day,and i think,paying on a Sunday is not favorable,very low exchange rate.I paid 1,613$ for fiancée visa,I thought we pay the same amount as the spousal visa.

Your waiting for the visa application decision by UKVI will not be any longer by not availing of the VFS Premium Lounge Service.
Good luck for a speedy and positive outcome

Hi nickel, perhaps the difference in fees is that you paid for the vfs premium service? if so, this service would mean you don't have to queue and you would get personalised attention at the visa center plus free snacks
This won't affect visa processing times though as micawber mentioned above. Good luck on your application

The VFS premium service is paid separately to the visa application fee. But Nickel is going to VGS Global in Cebu - there is a charge for using VFS Global in Cebu that is not payable if using VFS in Manila and it is payable along with the visa application itself.

Thanks Dave and Asia it was tough week for me but I will be okay.I pray everything else will run smooth and successful.

Just keep your chin up Nickel, you're nearly there now

I booked premium lounge but on my daughter's application it did not say Premium lounge service on her form. It just say standard.
Is that mean that when you booked a premium lounge it will say premium lounge on the application?

Confusing!!!

Thank you Timmers

You paid extra because you went to VFS Global in Cebu. Not sure why there is an extra charge - maybe because the documents have to be forwarded to Manila?
