Ah cheers, I went ahead and rebooked it the night after as well anyway. Couldnt risk showing up and they say oops we dont have a booking for u as its a system glitch. Rather play it safe and go in with a booking confirmation.! Thanks for that! Congrats as well on your successful outcome!morshed wrote: ↑Fri Aug 10, 2018 10:19 amI rebooked my appointment. The reasons are I needed an earlier appointment and I was not sure if the booking was in my name or someone else's. I emailed them (online support team) asking the question but their answer was not straight to the point. So I kept trying to rebook and once I rebooked I got an automated confirmation email about the new date. Someone from home office also called me and asked which date I actually choose and I opted for the rebooked date and already attended that with successful outcome.Mystarch89 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 08, 2018 7:10 pmHi Morshed, did u rebook the appointment after or u just stuck to the same appointment and attended it?
I've experienced the same issue as well and have even paid the 75 quid surcharge for Early Hour Appointment. If i were to rebook a normal hour appointment, does anyone know whether i'm entitled to the refund for it ?
Regards
I'm not sure about £75 refund but I had to pay £75 extra on the appointment day as the new appointment was out of normal office hour.
It says answer a question is because u have not chose a time slot.Jlooi wrote: ↑Fri Aug 10, 2018 4:20 pmOur lawyer said that they will make booking in July from May. But when we brought all our documents in two days ago, they said why didnt you tell us to book? I was shocked to hear that. Now we do not have any appointment made and i need one before August ends. I have just realised yesterday how painful it is to book same day services. Went in midnight and saw appointment from 21 September onwards- I cant book it because my vis expires on the 20th Sept. I am losing the will to live at the moment. Been checking since 6pm till 3 am, then had a snooze started at 6 am again, then snooze from 8.30 and checked every half an hour. Saw Belfast and Glaslow, click in the dates and it asked me to answer a question but when I tried to click on it, it wont let me then it refreshed itself and say no appointments. Please help me with some tips...
Cancellations can come in at any time, I’ve seen appointments appear for the next day a few times but these are not common and tend to get snapped up quickly. You may just have to go down the postal route.Jlooi wrote: ↑Sat Aug 11, 2018 3:57 amSorry to disturb all of you, I am unable to book anything. The midnight slots dates goes too far ahead for me... the latest is 22 Sept and my visa ends on the 20th September. I have been awake two nights now... trying to get something and I snooze here and there... have missed the golden hour for cancellations? If there is a golden hour, can you please give me some pointers???
Thank you for your advice in advance.
Thank you very much, Mystarch89.Mystarch89 wrote: ↑

They advised me to cancel the booked appointment and apply using the standard route, once accepted I can request an upgrade to premium (which of course has an extra fee). I had to send an email to
pscappoinmentrefunds@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk requesting the refund of the money already paid.
I am going to do the online standard application but I will be able to pay only when I get the money refunded,
Do any in this forum have experience with this? https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... quest-form Upgrade to Premium Form
Thank you if you can advise/help me!

I wonder, how quickly they make a decision following receiving the premium visa upgrade request for a postal application. Is it a single day from when they receive the upgrade request?
I might cancel my appointment for August 20th in Birmingham and switch to postal instead. I will make a decision on Monday and let you know the time when I plan to cancel so that someone else can book on my slot.
But wish you all the best in the postal. Keep us posted on how you do!!!
what’s going on???Maybe try a different browser, clear your cache and cookies. Log out and log back in.
One thing I'm doing is always opening my link in a chrome incognito window to make sure no cookies or anything are being retained. But I feel it displays different things to different IP addresses and is just totally random and broken. I mean it might not even let you book those appointments. I saw appointments from the 18th September last night but when I tried to book it just autocorrects it to the 24th.

Im going to keep trying. I dnt understand why i cant even the the ghost booking availability.Also try using different computers, different internet connections or restarting your router. It's a long shot and basically black magic at this stage but having fresh IP addresses may help.
