Re: UKVI Digital Changes, No PEO/PSCs from October 2018?

Dear Swskum Many thanks for kind and elaborate information, I am so glad that I was seeking answer in this group. Your situation is exactly same as mine. It's such a shame for the sophisticated home office for publishing a new portal without any guidance... (Maybe they wanted us to hire solicitors ...

Re: New Appointment Centre UKVCAS

I should clarify, those who applied in November when the directive was quite obscure will probably be OK with applying earlier however, I think it’s pretty clear now that the application date and submission date are the same. In theory it should make sense as appointments should be available within ...

Re: New Appointment Centre UKVCAS

I seem to recall reading that if you cancel, you have to book again and may lose any payment you made but not sure that was a certainty. However, I think you may well be worrying unduly and you will get an early appointment when you apply, keeping in mind though that the holiday will eliminate a co...

He went for a free one but could have paid £60 for an earlier one. Thank you for the clarification! I wil...

Re: UKVCAS Super Priority Service

Hi everyone,
Can someone please remind me, if an appointment is booked with Sopra Steria, are you allowed to change booking if something comes up earlier? Or do you have to cancel current appointment and re-book?

Re: New Appointment Centre UKVCAS

It appears that not only is the HO unable to deliver decisions within the 24 hour period promised for priority applications but Sopra Steria is also not able to offer appointments within five days from the online application as promised. Very disturbing! Ok i think I might actually start crying now...

Just wanted to say a big thank you to CR001 and allyf for the help and advice. We (finally!) submitted yesterday. Our experience of the service centre was not pleasant. Took close to 4hrs to go through the whole process. This was due to too many appointments and not enough staff. To their credit, t...

Hi I paid 3018 gbp for super premium service at Croydon . Yeah looks like even though they say you can book appointment within 5 days, doesn't seem to be the case, probably because of upcoming holidays. Anyway's, coming back to my question, when you submit your documents, does the date of it count ...
