Hi,
I have my PEO appt on Friday and when I was in the bank to order my bankers draft I phoned the Home Office 3 times and all three times they told me it has to be made out to : Home Office

How can you pay?
You must pay by one of the methods specified below.
• Cheque
• Postal Order
• Credit card1 - Visa (including Electron), MasterCard or American Express (Amex)
• Debit card - Delta, Maestro* (including Solo)
Banker’s draft (payable to the Home Office)

Cheques and postal orders
You must make the cheque or postal order payable
to Home Office Leave to Remain

Hope this helps[/u]

Thanks, I will post how it went.

The number I called is : 0870 606 7766 and I got through each time within about 2 minutes. Can't remember what option I chose, but went for general immigration enquiry.
