I am going to send my final application to visa office London soon. I am not attaching RPRF with my appliation at this stage because as per my understanding visa offices request for RPRF, once your application has been assessed (somewhere before or after your medicals). I have already submitted my full fee of first stage to NS.
Kindly, clarify do i need to submit RPRF at this stage or it would be latter requested by visa office?
you don't need to submit the RPRF fee as the visa office will request it at later stage,that request could come along with the medical or after the medical.
I am also in process of sending my final application to Buffalo USA and having the same question.
