FEB-2016 PEO Appointments

[middletier 1]

Hi,

I am looking for an appointment for ILR application in February. I have tried different locations and dates but looks like system does not show any bookings after 13th February, did anybody booked the appointment after 13th Feb?

[knowpain]

I have just booked 13th February yesterday...
Its showing 30 days advance date or something... So keep checking each day

[middletier 1]

yeah, I think its showing 30 days in advance instead of 42 days, did you fill the ILR application form online?

[knowpain]

No i didnt fill it online.
I am going through a 10 year route long residency so i used SET(LR) form.
I have filled and printed it and will take it with me.

Online i just paid for the appointment.

I have exhausted searching from 15-22nd FEb 2016 too and no luck. I thought it's 42 days?
Can someone clarify?

Also, for 13th Feb did you book at Croydon center or where?

[middletier 1]

I have tried too but it looks like system shows only 30 days advance

[middletier 1]

I tried lastnight however couldn't find any slots after 13 feb, seems the system not releasing the slots 42 days in advance. Please clarify if anyone booked appointment from 14-24th Feb?

Can anyone update this topic? I'm trying to book a PEO appointment at Croydon for the week 22-27 Feb but after numerous searches I haven't seen any booking slot available beyond the 20th.

So it appears it isn't 42 days out that slots are available but more look 30 as mentioned in this forum. Can anyone confirm?

Starting to get nervous as there are plenty of slots the week before I want - do I just need to wait another week? And is there a specific day/time that slots are released?

It used to be daily @ midnight. In the days when unscrupulous people were block booking slots and re-selling them for a premium price, in order to secure an appointment applicants were logging on the point of midnight in an attempt to book one. After the HO introduced the pre-payment system this issue was resolved. It now seems that the HO are no longer releasing slots 42 days in advance, why or whether this is ongoing hasn't been confirmed.

Many thanks. But any idea how far in advance if it's no longer 42 days?

As far as I know, nothing that can be confirmed yet...

Hi Guys,

I have contacted the Apply Online E-Support Team and please find their reply as below;

"Although appointments are normally available up to 42 days in advance, currently there is essential I.T. work being carried out on the booking system.

We will increase availability of appointments on our calendars as soon as the IT work is completed, but we regret we do not have a precise timescale as to when this will be.

You would be required to keep checking for any availability as we are unable to guarantee this.

I hope this information is helpful".

Many thanks for that. Very helpful. Pity the UKVI couldn't mention it on their website!

Yes most encouraging. It seems to suggest that appointments for early March have not been released yet.

[colinjg]

Still waiting. Emailed the helpline this morning and got the same response as middletier1.

Anyone else having any luck with post Feb 20th bookings?

It's been three days since UK BA has released any new appointment. The Last one is available for 26th. I tried their new system. Quite impressive but no new date is available.

Guys,

Anyone had success to book dates for the second week of March 2016?

[Dante32]

There still appear to be no appointments past Feb 26. Anyone have an update?

[ashafqat2]

No new appointments. It's been a week since they have released any new appointment.

Looks like appointments for 29 February have been released, at least for Solihull.
