Sopra Steria appointments

Hi,
Has anyone this month applied online and chose to use Sopra Steria for sending documents. Would like to know what the availability is like or should I rather wait until January.

Also after submitting the application how long do I have to book an appointment to send in the documentations as with NDRS it was within a week

I applied online and used Sopra Steria this month. Unlike NDRS, you cannot book an appointment before you pay and submit your application online to UKVI. Only afterwards can you access Sopra Steria's UKVCAS website and book an appointment. The system is supposed to "guarantee" that you can get an appointment within 5 days. I found that it was possible to do this, but choices of location are not ideal.

Please also note that UKVI set a deadline of two months for you to attend your UKVCAS appointment from the date of online application.

So, no need to delay in my opinion.
