PEO appointment on the same date as valid-until date on BRP

Hello,

I just went to book a PEO appointment for SET(M) under the impression that you should not do this until 28 days the current flr expires.

The only appointment which was available in Glasgow is on the very date which is stated as valid-until 28/10/2013 on my BRP.

Is this a problem? Has anyone else had experience of this?

By your previous posts, your leave was granted from 28/10/2011. Therefore, you can apply for SET(M) from 28 days before 28/10/2013. Thus from tomorrow. Leaving it till the last day is fine.

Thanks for putting my mind at rest.

I was very surprised that the only date available was 28th october because after reading everything, I understood that you should not even try to apply more than 28 days before. It looks as if I wanted an appointment in most other PEO's this would not have been possible before the FLR expires.

I guess really you should start trying to book a PEO appointment a couple of months in advance for a suitable date within the 28 day window??

Also another question.

Does my spouse also attend the appointment? There seems to be conflicting information about this.

Many thanks for the info once again.

Your spouse should attend yes. If you spouse is unable to attend then s(he) must sign the declaration and write a letter stating that s(he) supports your application, your relationship is subsisting and give a contact number where s(he) can be reached. Sometimes during the week appointments are added to the system, perhaps book the appointment and keep checking to see if you can make an earlier one, if you so wish.
