I am a Pakistani applicant, originally from CIC Islamabad and later transferred to London. Due to some misunderstanding on my part, when I was asked to submit RPRF by London office, I submitted it locally like I had paid other dues when visa office was in Islamabad, and sent the proof to London along with other documents. After about 2 months I received a letter from London, marked as 2nd and final reminder for RPRF payment to London with an explanation of how to make that payment. I paid RPRF and sent the proof of payment.
After that I sent an e mail to islamabad explaining the situation to them and requesting the refund of fee paid in excess. In reply they directed me to send my application along with green slip (CIC's copy) of the bank to another address and said that the amount will be refunded in 15 days. I did that, but as I had already submitted CIC,s copy to London, I sent my own copy (yellow slip) as proof of payment.
More than 5 months have passed and I have not heard any thing from CIC Islamabad. Can any one guide me what steps should I take to get the refund or should I consider that amount to be lost.
