-Send a free email to IHSrefunds@homeoffice.gov.uk after the 6th week. IHS refunds for withdrawals may take up to 6 weeks. The amount is supposed to reflect on the card that you used to make the payment, so check that it is not expired.
-The entry clearance guidance states that each case is reviewed on its own merit. Although an adverse immigration history could affect your future decisions. However, call UKVI or speak to a seasoned immigration specialist about the possible outcomes.
-Also seek guidance from your school's Immigration and Visa Compliance Team on what to do. They communicate directly with UKVI.

ThomasJaeger:
Good morning house,

I made a UK Tier 4 Visa Application in December 2022. Had my biometrics on 24th December and paid for priority service.
I used my brother's bank statement as proof of funds and everything else was intact. I indicated in the form that my father was late and that was why my brother is paying for my tuition and upkeep.
On 20th January, 2023, they wrote back and requested my father's Death Certificate and Legal proof that my brother is my legal guardian.
Unfortunately, we didn't file a death certificate when our father died and we were unsure of what legal proof was required to show my brother was taking care of me. On 7th February, I contacted them via call and subsequently via email to withdraw my visa application since I did not have the requested documents and I had ran out of time to report to school. My passport was returned on 14th February without a decision. However today, 14th March I still have not received an IHS refund(This is week 4 of passport return).
1. Do I write to request an IHS refund on withdrawn application? If so, how do I go about it?
2. In submitting a new application after requesting a new CAS, do I just transfer the adequate funds into my own bank account for 28 days and remake my application?
3. Can my visa be refused based on my previous withdrawal?
