Thanks CR001! Now we are getting some idea on how this will work!
Thank you CR001 for this post. But still this does not answer the question regarding decision times? So same day decisions will not exist? So quickest route will be super priority i.e 10 days?
Hi Aly2013,Aly2013 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 26, 2018 5:31 pmHi allyf. Unfortunately I’m not really sure how to interpret the article but it sounds like the PSC system will be changing. I spoke to a solicitor today and as far as she is aware premium service appointments will still be available in Dec (although as anyone see any?!) with the main change being that those booking a PSC appointment would be required to submit an online application first.
Hopefully there will be some proper guidance from the UKVI next week.
anyway, I am quite content with the new online system starting nov 5. There appears to be options for super premium at service points (no longer PSC). I just pray it’s up and working efficiently by the time I need to apply in December!Hi ishfaqsangraishfaqsangra wrote: ↑Sat Oct 27, 2018 9:34 pmIs this facility also available for Tier1 E settlement/ILR application as well?

Tier 1 E is /settlement is there, but the Beta service for online application still excludes it?allyf wrote: ↑Sun Oct 28, 2018 12:27 pmHi ishfaqsangraishfaqsangra wrote: ↑Sat Oct 27, 2018 9:34 pmIs this facility also available for Tier1 E settlement/ILR application as well?

I spoke to an immigration lawyer too and they seem to think they could secure a date with PSC in December..”no problem at all” he said. Didn’t understand how , when they work off same system as us! Oh and he was charging £1000anyway, I am quite content with the new online system starting nov 5. There appears to be options for super premium at service points (no longer PSC).

Thanks for the reply allyf.allyf wrote: ↑Tue Oct 23, 2018 10:23 amThe appointments have been coming up all of last week… But it was for the end of November. Now I’m seeing appointments come up for last-minute ones Ie for this week or next week appointments… But you literally have to be checking every minute as they are sporadically released. What date are you needing? And is there a way of creating a program that notifies you when appointments become available? That would be idealkenvac wrote: ↑Tue Oct 23, 2018 12:12 amI have been struggling in getting any appointments for ILR past 10 days.
So far I tried late evenings, early morning, afternoons midnight's you name it.
Any advice please?
I am thinking of creating a program which emails user as soon as anything gets available to book.
Hi boopity,boopity wrote: ↑Sun Oct 28, 2018 10:40 pmHi there,
I am getting increasingly anxious about the whole process of my FLR(M) visa. My visa expires December 14th and I (stupidly) booked to return back to the states on the 21st of December for Christmas. My plan was to use pay for the premium service.
I've been trying for a 1.5 weeks to book with no avail (i've not seen a single appointment).
I know that the new system is coming on board but I'm excluded because of my FLR(M) visa.
What am I supposed to do?! I can't submit and then do my appointment after my visa expires because of potential traveling
Sorry, just freaking out.... I will keep trying for a spot...

Yes but FLR(M) is not settlement, it is an extension of the family visa from within UK. Which is another piece of confusion. Because the document talks about the "visa for joining family members in the UK" not being in the new system before Jan. But it doesn't talk about extension of family visa "Further Leave to Remain" from within UK. These 2 are treated as separate categories by UKVI.
I spoke to an immigration lawyer in London. They suggested the super premium service. It can be used by upto 4 unrelated people, sharing the costs. The service is practically on demand and they come out to the customers premises (house, office). For people in a fix like me for FLR(M) that could be an option if there are 3 others wanting to join in.allyf wrote: ↑Mon Oct 29, 2018 10:40 amHi boopity,boopity wrote: ↑Sun Oct 28, 2018 10:40 pmHi there,

It’s unfortunate that they will not accept applications online for FLR M. The only advice I can offer is keep checking the PSE booking online as they are releasing days till the end of November… But they appear to be cancellation only so you may have to jump on it quickly.
Best of luck
How much do they charge?aka007 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 29, 2018 1:53 pmI spoke to an immigration lawyer in London. They suggested the super premium service.

They haven't told me yet said they will call back after confirming they have 4 such requests. But they said if I don't need application prep assistance then there will be an arrangement fee. For Application Prep they will charge their standard fee. I didn't ask as I have already filled my application online.allyf wrote: ↑Mon Oct 29, 2018 2:13 pmHow much do they charge?aka007 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 29, 2018 1:53 pm

On a positive note I just called UKVI and inquired about FLR(M) in the new application system. The lady asked me where had I heard about the new system. I said it was in gov.uk news sometime ago (couldn't really quote the link in this thread as it was third party). After putting me on hold the customer service rep came back saying she had spoken to her colleagues, and they were being debriefed about the new system this week. So asked me to call back Friday or next Monday. But she did say that "In general all visa categories which can be applied online now will also be included in the new system starting in Nov".
So fingers crossed FLR(M) is included and only " Visa to join family members in the UK as a dependant" are excluded!
Hello please how did you solve this problem because I’m facing the same thing.broody wrote: ↑Fri Jul 27, 2018 11:54 pmI have been trying to book appointments for the last 3 daysand night but nothing seems to work. at 12am as soon as i see any slot and try to book it it says answer the relevant question and then back to no slots available
What should i do? has anyone got any information as to how long it will go on like this and if this technical issue is being dealt with by the HO?
