Hi Vimal, What do you mean by Belfast is a good PEO? and how do you know it is good?

If you are looking for a good pub, you can refer to The Good Pub Guide. I'm not aware that PEOs, intended to offer a uniform product, are reviewed by their clients and graded according to the standard of service offered. Are you asking about the parking or bathroom facilities (baby changing room) in that location, or perhaps if they have drinks vending machine?

Furthermore, unless a member of this community has been to both facilities (unlikely), he would hardly be in a position to make a comparison.

Hi,
just going by others testimonials, almost everyone who has gone there praises the belfast peo, the staff etc...so that is what i meant by good

Your question makes no sense if you actually understand the immigration process. Your application is supposed to be given exactly the same treatment irrespective of the location. Just because someone has a good experience in Belfast does not mean that Belfast takes a lenient approach. That application was unique to that applicant who met the requirements of the immigration rules. He would have been given the same result in any of the PEOs, but as he did not attend another PEO, his comment on his Belfast experience is worthless to you and your enquiry.

I get your point. However applicants in Solihull get their documents reviewd first and then pay...but to repeat i get your point though..

You should attend a PEO that is convenient to your location where you can secure an appointment. Selectively choosing a PEO that is remote from your location, on the very dubious rumour that they are acting as something of a sanctuary, is completely misguided.

Holding two appointment is not right. You are depriving others of the opportunity to book an appointment while you seek to get advice (FOR FREE) in this forum.

Can you please advise on getting more than one appointment with 3 dependants? with 2 it's a nightmare!

there is no secret..just keep trying..i got mine trying at 1 am a t night..good luck

is it possible to book more than one appointment for same candidate at one PEO office or different offices with various dates.
i have raised this question because have seen some posts that people are booking multiple appointments but i don't know for what reason
