No PEO appointments for Solihull or Sheffield

Hi,

I am trying to book PEO appointment in Solihull & Sheffield since last 10 days or so. But unfortunately, I am not able to find one. I start my search around 23:45 everyday. I can see that the appointments are released for Croydon, Liverpool and Belfast exactly at 00:00 midnight. But somehow either all the appointments are booked for Sheffield and Solihull within a second or probably they are not releasing any dates for these PEOs.

Is there anyone who had success in securing a position for 23 December or latter in Solihull. I remember for Sheffield they released appointments for 23rd & 24th December but then after that I couldn't find one.

Is there any particular time when UKBA releases appointments for these two PEOs.


Many thanks

A J

Unfortunately its not possible and I believe they won't give you any clue for not releasing appointments over the phone.

This is really confusing that everyday 10 appointments for Croydon are released for SET (O) applicants with dependents and none of them is reserved by anyone.

Is it because people stopped applying for settlement or may be we don't trust Croydon due to their bad history of IT infrastructure. :o

Thanks aliq09 for the tip.

However, the problem is that they are not releasing appointments at all for Sheffield and Solihull since last many days. My target date for the appointment was 23rd December. I started appointment searching around 5th of November just to understand the patterns (I know appointments are released 42 days before.). They stopped releasing appointments for Solihull on around 7th November and last time when they released appointments for Sheffield was 12th November (i.e. appointment date 24th December).

I have developed an application which is constantly monitoring appointments for Sheffield and Solihull automatically.

@mego_1980 : If you want to get a notification, let me know about your target date and send me your email address in PM, I will update you as soon as the appointment dates are available for Solihull or Sheffield.

@edmondlim: I have noted down your email address. I will let you know as soon as they will release one for these dates.

@aarnags: I don't think they are bad. In the past they had this network down problem. So if someone is paying such a high fee for same day service then the preference would be to go to a centre where they don't have these issues.

May be some senior member can shed light on it.
