but they (or their parents in the case of school) had been paying taxes for that …

the surcharge is because you haven’t paid into it previously, like everyone who has lived in the UK before you.

in general this is just amortizing a $100k fee over 5 years and across 4 people to make it seem less ridiculous. a UK visa for a single person is like 10k for 5 years

that’s some gymnastics to get there. might as well add in US health insurance costs for a family for 5 years

only 205 continuing claims in NC. clearly something wrong. usually 20k +

continuing claims skewed 20k lower on wrong North Carolina data

Sounds like it was fraudulent claims skewing it
