Hi Cheeseandrea,


They are REALLY unhelpful both via the email service and on the phone. its so pathetic.
I still cannot see any dates beyond the 13th of April strangely enough and yet they keep telling me ALL the dates after 13th April are fully booked which we both know is a lie. its so sad that we pay so much money for such pitiful service from them. They keep telling me there are limited appointment slots for rescheduled appointments, and that they release dates 28days in advance, which doesn't make sense because I can only see date 7days in advance on my online booking portal.

At this moment I am still emailing them and trying to get them to grant me access to dates after April 13th. if you cancel the appointment you currently hold, wouldn't you have to pay another fee to book again? my email address was blocked by the moderators hence why you cant see it.

I see. My email is reference to email removed by moderator. Yea, cancelling means we have to book a new one and pay again... But it's better then not getting the VISA appointment at all.

Hi CR001

Sorry about it! Won't do it again. I just really need to know if I apply 32 days in advance instead of 28, will my application be rejected? If not, what are the consequences? Will it affect my future application for ILR?

Many thanks

Can you see any appointment at Belfast centre? Mine is showing no appointment at all in the next 42 days.

The first 2.5 years of my UK spouse visa is expecting on 14th May 2016. I have an premium appointment booked for 13th april and only just learnt of the 28 day rule for ILR recently.
I was told when I called HO that if I applied more that 28 days before my visa expires I might have issues as my visa will expire before I reach the 5years duration require for
ILR.

The latest appointment I have been able to get so far is 13th april, looking online I am not sure if the dates beyond april 13th haven't opened up yet or they are fully booked! Croydon and Birmingham have messages saying "all appointments for the next 42 days are fully booked"

Kindly advice should I attend the 13th april appointment. Though its 32 days before my visa expires? Is there a way I can get a later date? Also the visa fee was increased after I paid online, would I need to pay the difference? If yes, how do I pay the difference?


Thanks for your anticipated response.

Hi Madison,

Any update yet??
