Thank you so much!

Very good list of documents you have it covered

Hi,

I am applying with similar documents, nothing i can see is missing.

Also, can you please give some pointers on how you booked the appointment. I have been trying day and night across all centres without success.

Thank you for your responses.

As for the appointment booking, you need to keep trying! We saw so many pop up and go, but we had some key documents missing so didn’t book any at first before we got them. Anyways, we never saw any appointments come up around midnight or the weekend. The appointments mainly came up at different times of the day during the week, around 10am, but mostly around 1pm or 2pm. Sometimes we saw 15 appointments available at once, as if the HO just released them. Other times we saw only 1 come up, obviously a cancellation. The locations were mainly Cardiff and Croydon, sometimes Birmingham... but never saw any come up in other locations.

I hope this helps and good luck!
