Questions
Will I get my fee back?
Usually not. The Immigration Health Surcharge and some priority fees may be refundable — the template's table and GOV.UK explain when.
Can I withdraw if my visa is about to expire?
Take advice first. Withdrawing can end the protection that keeps your leave running while an in-time application is pending.
Do I have to give a reason?
No. The reason paragraph is optional.
Is it in the Immigration Complete Bundle?
Yes. The Immigration Complete Bundle includes every DocPilot immigration template.
