Hello,

Yesterday, I got PPR1 + RPRF for spouse + Schedule A's for both of us + biodata form.. all in a single email.

Here's my timeline:

App: 12th May
PER: 25th Aug
MR: 9th Oct
RPRF fee + PPR1 request: 27th Oct
Medical Done: 11th Nov
PPR2 Request: 22 Nov
(Got married on 8th Nov 2014. Didn't send my passport, sent request to add my spouse as a non-accompanying dependent instead.)
Addition of spouse application delivered: 20th Dec 2014
Spouse MR: 20th Feb 2015
Spouse medical done: 4th March 2015
My job category is 2281
(LVO)

Thing that is bothering me is that I had added my wife as a non-accompanying dependent, as due to some personal reasons I do not wish to take her with me for now. I've heard non-accompanying dependents don't have to pay RPRF.... If so, why am I being asked for my spouse RPRF? (Note that I've already paid mine).

It would be really helpful if someone could shed some light on my concern. Thank you in advance.
