As I thought it was $1900, which if you use EX.com to work out the conversion, it should work out to under £800 (today in fact is £766.89), whereby everyone seems to be paying over £800.

A little confused.


skilled migrants visa application charge (appl. lodged after 1st July 2006): $1,990

just reading what everyone was saying about DIMIA charges, we paid approx £813 in aug for a currency draft, that was for skilled visa.

on another note has anyone thought about booking a rate in advance and paying a deposit to book it. Rate looks ok at the mo.

£805 on the 9th Sept. Did peeps pay on credit card? I hear you get a worse rate, so we transferred £850 to debit card just to be sure. Bit gutted to see the £766 post earlier!!

Congrats Wendy,

It's a good feeling knowing that someone has at least looked at the application, rather than being left in a pile somewhere!!!

Starting to feel left out, my agent sent the forms on the 22nd of September, as of yet I have not received an acknowledgment :-(

Impatient I know..

Don't despair...most of us seem to be running at 2 months from arrival at ASPC to receiving an acknowledgement. You should hear something by the end of the month, maybe even end of this week.

Stay sane!
