PEO Appointment Booking - Any luck

I have been trying to book a PEO appointment between the 02/05/2012 and 28/05/2012 for a few months now with no success. I have logged in at all times of the day but still cant find a date. Each time a new date in May comes up, I it is taken.

It is an incredibly frustrating process. Please any ideas how I can increase my chances of getting a PEO date. I on on work permit and will use Form SET (O) with 1 dependent. Will not include baby as she will do MN1 after ILR.

You wont be able to get any appointment anyways ...

Only appointment available as on today is until 23rd March ....

For appointments in MAY you have wait another 2 months to book a date and you can book only 48 days in advance ...

Normally you are allowed to book only 6 weeks in advance. So may have to wait till March End / April to book your appointment.

Could have something to do with what I read here:

http://firstmigration.com/visas/uk/inde ... remain-ilr

From 29th February 2012 the UK Border Agency will be including ILR visas in the new Biometric system...

...due to the massive increase in the number of people that will need their Biometrics taken, the number of Premium appointments at the Public Enquiry Office (PEO) will be drastically reduced.

This is only according to firstimigration. I have not heard from any Home Office authentic source that the “PEO appointments will be drastically reduced”.

I get to point 2.1 on iApply and cannot get any further ...

There is no option to proceed to Choose Options and Book Appointment as far as I can see - am I going mad?

Has anyone got past this point on the updated site today?

I don't know if this just means there are no appointments available?

Any help greatly appreciated!!

You are looking at the wrong page. If you need to book an appointment at PEO, this is the link that you need to use.

That is the one I am going to, but once I get to point 2.1 to download the form, I cannot go any further in the application process - there is no option to proceed to 2.2 or 3 as far as I can see.

Thank you all for your replies. But when i go through the page for booking PEO appointments i get the following:
Username/passwork >3 letters/numbers from memorable word>choose form> SET (O)>number of dependents>select dates. The available dates shown extend to the 14th of May 2012 and an extra day seems to be added every day. But i cannot book any date - as it says no dates available? Is this because the dates are not available or some people have already quickly booked the dates as they are released.

What POE you are booking for ? There are more appointments for Croydon PEO than anywhere else. (try Croydon if you can't find dates in any other PEO).

Also you can’t book more than 42 days in advance.

I checked last night and there were loads of slots available.

Linkers,
Thank you. It looks like I will have to wait till late March or early April to start looking for dates.
Thank you very much for all your help.
