so just to update everyone on this,
I got in touch with UK V&I, and they changed the visa type for us, and have now issued the spouse visa, so worked out great! :) I’ve just sent a letter informing them of the error but would be good if I can reach them ASAP. What was the contact detail you used to get in touch with U.K. V&I to change the visa type? I tried calling their standard number online and they were not very helpful, quoting scripted mumbo-jumbo. Unless the reason why you were told that they changed the visa type was because it had already been done when you received the email for the IHS payment? |

it was changed in the office, then we had the IHS charge come through, and the visa came through very quickly after that

Quick question. Was your application priority or non-priority?

That was a pretty quick turnaround considering how application processing has been significantly delayed for a lot of people.

Surprised you were able to get the details of the ECO. Was he/she reviewing the application from Sheffield?

it was Sheffield, i was lucky to have good contacts from my past industry (travel)
My nervousness is that my wife gets rejected due to an error in her application that can easily be corrected but the ECO processing her application is unable to use common sense to resolve the error. |

Re: Wrong Visa Type
Just thought to update on my situation just in case someone else comes across this thread looking for answers to the same problem. My wife today got an email from the Sheffield office with the IHS link asking her to make the IHS payment. We’ve made the payment now so fingers crossed we get a decision soon.
