Me and my husband were asked to pay RPRF on 13th August (paid immediately) and have not heard anything since. The security check status is still sat at "not started".Kucuy15 said:I got a request to pay the RPRF on August 25th and I immediately started searching through this forum (quite the task!) to see if any members got rejected after being asked to pay this fee, I searched for EE applicants specifically.
I could not find any, although I may have missed one or two threads as there are just so many! As the request letter says, there are still some clearance processes ongoing with our applications but in all honesty I think it would be odd to be asked to pay it just to be rejected and refunded later. The two members that were rejected after DM had pay the fee in advanced when they submitted their application so it is hard to guess whether CIC would have asked them for it regardless and then reject them or not.
I am trying to stay positive though, and I have a feeling that this week is the week for many of us to see further movement in our application.
Those who were requested to pay the RPRF in August please let's keep each other updated on how our applications evolve.
All the best!!
I am a little worried about rejection, but overall I think you're correct in thinking that CIC aren't going to deem you eligible without having essentially completed the checks, and there is two of us so we always thought it would take longer than for a single applicant.
What I'm worrying about now (probably needlessly!) is whether I got the dates correct for our trips out of the UK in the last 10 years, and whether the fact I have a poor credit rating will matter (note that I'm not the main applicant, I am the "spouse" and my husband has a far better financial record and memory than me!)
Be sure to update me when you hear any more news!
