PREMIUM SERVICE APPOINTMENT BOOKINGS

[rella5]

Hello guys,

I am trying to book a premium appointment (ILR - SET (M) in one of the PEOs and for reasons not known nothing is coming up!

The system keeps saying there are no appointments.

How do I go about this?? Is there a particular time one can book or how??

Thanks.

This used to be the case earlier when there was no payment needed after booking.
Now-a-days I have heared that appointments are easy to get.
You can try exactly at 12.00 in the night when appointments are released ... you wll get one after a month in future. This is only f the timeline is too tight.

Appointment slots are only released 42 days in advance. Anything further ahead than this won't show on the system.

Thanks guys, My visa expires July 19, my ESOL was done in June 2013 but certificate date of issue reads July 2013 so I am not sure here which date the HO will consider as expiry since it was done in Trinity College and there certs does not go further that 2yrs..hence my reasons for making an application around late June.

So, to book a PEO appointment, I have to wait till around mid May to get an appointment for end of June considering the 42 days roll out??
Visa expiry - July 19
28days to time will be 05 May
Earliest filling date would be 22 June

Thanks again.

If you are applying under SET(M), spouse of the settled person or British partner, then you can apply 28 days prior to the entry date in the UK and not the visa expiry date (assuming you're came to the UK under the spousal route and not switched from another category). Normally, when the visa is granted, you are given a 3 month grace period to come to the UK and you need to complete 2 years probation period (under the old rules for SET(M) if you're applying now). So calculate 28 days from when you will be completing your probationary period.

Thank you for your reply..
I came in the Uk when my partner was on a student visa- she was not settled then. We both renewed like twice before she got ILR(long stay). Now I will be 2yrs under the category on 19th July from the date this category visa was issued-(spouse visa - 2yrs issued one month after she got ILR) So I think my grace period is 28 day to expiry of this visa.
