Hi all,
I have been able to book the appointment now. Thanks for all the tips shared in this forum. For anyone facing similar issue, I would reiterate the following advices-
1. Be flexible for any premium service center (as postal service might take as long as 1.5 years and you cannot leave the country during that period. One of my friend has been waiting for 11 months and still waiting...)
2. Try booking at 12 midnight (not sure about 12 noon, as i haven't tried). At this time the website performance is really slow which might be due to many people try to access at the same time. You will get this message several times- "Page cannot be displayed" and it will take you back to the login screen. But be patient and keep trying. It took me around 30 mins
3. Try to book the first available date. In my case, I had Tuesday to Saturday all days available in a week (25-29 Sept) but it was not showing me any available time slots for Saturday which I wanted to. I had to book on Tuesday, the first available day. What I am trying to say is they may open the slots per day basis starting from the first available date. If not Tuesday then try Wednesday and so on.
4. If you select a date but 'save and continue' without any time slot selected then you will get the error saying "Question not answered" something like that. This is for most of the cases nothing to do with your answers, it is just because you haven't selected any time slot. So follow my step 3

Hope this helps. I can understand how frustrating it is when you know your visa is expiring and you are not getting an appointment booked! hence, wanted to post my experience if that helps you.

Lucky you, Congrats!

Have been trying for over 2 weeks endlessly....See dates available almost everyday @ 12am, but havent been able to proceed after choosing dates. No time slots come up for some reason after it finishes loading. It only displays "you must answer this question to continue" after i save and continue.

Have tried all sorts of browser tricks without success. I am beginning to give up honestly.

I desperately need some help from members please!!!!!!!!

Wagwaanin'.

I had a question. My wife's visa expires on the 11th of November.

Is it too late to book a Premium appointment since the date (if available) would be after the date of expiry of the Visa?

U could get a date before the 11th of November-released by cancellation. But you'd need to be be constantly as stated by @Chanti1211

I got my appointment for 15 Nov Glasgow. I was on the web page constantly refreshing it from 10:30 pm last night till just after 0:00 hours and the appointment showed up. I was pretty quick from there at completing the booking. Fingers crossed for the application

I have been up almost all night from midnight to 6:15am, kept changing the centre and trying and no slots popped up. Any advice please ? I am really worried.
