Thank God I got fee accepted b4 July 2005

I suppose as they said they have taken on more people to process the applications they have to get the money back from somewhere eh!
I haven't looked to see how much the Skilled Independent visa fees have gone up yet. Might just have to have a look now.

I've had a look at the fees page on DIMIA website, but cant see anything about fee changes, the currency converter is still coming out at £535. Can you post a link please.
I am waiting for my police checks to come through, apart from that we are ready to apply. I assume the rate is the same for the Spouse Visa that I am applying for.
Thanks

OK, I found the bit about fees changes. But where did you get £816 from?
According to the currency converter the new fee comes out at £575. The new fee is $1305, and DIMIA use a fixed rate to convert to local currency, so todays exchange rate is irrelevant.
Panic over! I was about to shove the application in the post without the police checks. Phew!

MY SINCERE APOLOGIES! I did get the on and off shore fees mixed up, I'm really, really sorry for any confusion.
Cat
The correct difference is: Fee before 30th June 2005 = £535
Fee after 1st July2005 = £575
Sorry
