Frustration!!

Thanks peanutz and andypaul. Sofi is going to the bank tomorrow to get the Manager's cheque. She will take the form with the 42,500 stated but also have the print outs from the websites with her and will ask that the discrepancy is noted for what it's worth.

We will however go for the 'so-called' new fee (43,775). Then Sofi will book her appointment online for asap after 12th May. All the documents etc are already on their way to her by courier.

Exactly the money is not as important as a visa in hand, but worth politly highlighting as we did when things were changed and it affected us at first we thought badly but turned out the wife had her visa before she would have been interviewed.
But I know the Visa department manager took it seriously as politely and well constructed criticism is both useful to improve the service but worth avoiding in case it gets back to the bosses in sw1 who may decide where you are posted next. So yo0u may well help others following in your footsteps
