Hi

I am trying to book an appoitment by using UKBA online system from last three days (3,4,5 Dec,2012) every midnight but system does not shows me the login window after 11 PM untill morning. I did tried many times from mid night to 1:30 but failed to login and then again tried in the morning, logged in but when querying dates it shows the result as technical error and after 7:30 Am it shows no appoitments available. Is there any one else who is going through same pain. I need to book this appoitment urgently. I am trying hard but no success. Looking forward to hear any tips to book ILR appoitment.

Thanks

Thought today is 5th. You mean the last 2 days (3rd & 4th)? Or have you tried tonight already? Anyway, there are no easier ways, but to keep trying. Login at about 5 or 10 minutes before midnight, and keep refreshing using F5 key on your keyboard if using a desktop or laptop. I don't believe you will get anything after 1am. The portal is busiest at those times. Hence the error messages you will get. Ignore and keep refreshing. The key is to keep trying.

Good luck

All you require to book a PEO appointment online is your first name, last name & date of birth. I.e. this is what you will be prompted to enter after selecting an appointment in the appointment search result screen. At what point did you see the error you mention?

Can I ask which PEO you saw SET(O) appointments for, when you logged in at 2am? Were any available for Croydon or Solihul? The appointment booking site has been particularly unreliable this week, with it going down many times during the night at around midnight & early morning.

it came after i submit my booking so rather than confirmation page i did get error saying Case ID not found like. Yes UKBA site is mostly not working after 10 PM , i was keep on trying and then get to see some slots but there was nothing for Croydon at that time.

i just tried few minutes back again after availing no results last night until 2pm - i tried by selecting no dates and kept trying on various combinations on all the locations and got one for 14th Jan 2013 at sheffield, saw few for croydon aswel. Try again you never know you might get lucky ..
Good Luck!!

Yes, appointment slots are released upto 42 days in advance. It's not something that's stated by the UKBA, but rather what many of us who have used the booking system have found out through personal experience.

Thanks very much for that! So if I accidentaly put dates beyond the 42 days - it should still work at least for that 42 days right i.e. If I try to look for the next 90 days and there is something available within 42, it will tell me?

It should, but I believe many just leave the date fields blank when searching. When you search at midnight, you should then see all slots for the selected PEO's 42 days from the current date. E.g. if you search at midnight today or tomorrow you should see appointments for January 18th 2013 (or before) but nothing after that date.
