Hi Wazz127,
Its 42 calendar days (
not working or business) in advance.
For example,
You are looking for a PSO appointment on 15 Feb, using
http://www.timeanddate.com/date/dateadd ... ad=42&rec=,
will give you 42 days from 15 Feb, which is 04 Jan. So you would be able to book your appointment on 04 Jan the earliest if looking for an anointment to attend on 15 Feb.
Also you might have to be quick as number of appointments released each day at each PEO is as follows,
1) Belfast = 12
2) Cardiff = 26
3) Sheffield = 30
4) Glasgow = 35
5) Solihull = 40
6) Liverpool = 58
7) Croydon = 220
Total PSO appointments available at all PSO in the Great Britian for one day = 421(per day)
a) Appointments are available from 42nd calendar days of making an application.
b) New appointment slots are released between midnight and 6 am between Monday to Friday.
c) Cancelled appointment slots are
NOT reopened.
The above is confirmed by home office in a communication through Freedom of information act at following,
https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/ ... 2.pdf.html
Its true that couple of more weeks from 42 calendar days are highlighted at PSO website. But the only appointments available to book in advance are from 42 calendar days from the day you wish to attend the PSO.
Hope that helps.
All the best.
At present appointment slots are only released up until the last week in December.
