Booking Premium Service Appointment for ILR

Hi there,
My husband is eligible to apply for his ILR application via Tier 2 General route and looking to book 1st or 2nd Feb as his appointment date.
Last Sunday, around 10th Dec we used our alternative email address to check what slots are available and although many centres showed 1st or 2nd Feb as the date for selection, clicking on them simply showed below message instead of Time slots.
"Available appointments on date selected"
The only dates that did show time slots were around 20th - 22nd Jan.
Today when we again tried to look for Feb slots, all the Premium centres except Glasgow and Belfast showed "No appointment available in the next 45 business days"
Does this mean the slots for all those centres are gone for good unless some one cancels?
Also even if we select Glasgow or Belfast, it doesn't give us the time slots for a date beyond 24th-25th Jan.
Can some one with a recent experience of booking ILR premium appointment tell us if this is normal & if the slots to book for Feb would open up in the coming days? Or is there an alternate route?
Thanks in advance!

The appointments are available upto 42 days. If you click the date it will not any appointments if there are not any.
Normally booking slots are release post 12:00am.
As per my understanding appointments for 1st week of Feb will be available from 18th December. You should login after 12 00am and try you luck.
You can try Glasgow one as it should NOT be difficult to book.

FYI its PSC(Premium Service Center) now not PEO !
Normally appointments are relases upto 42-45 days. Only if any appointment is cancelled before that would appear !
It does not matter which PSC you apply. It depends on your case. You can try Glasgow see if you can find earlier appointment

Hey guys,
Just managed to book a Premium Service Appointment in Sheffield scheduled for 2nd Feb 2018 at 10:30 AM for my husband's ILR SET(O) application.
As mentioned in this thread by other group members, the trick is to indeed try after 12:00 midnight.
We noticed that even though advanced dates up to 42-45 days opens up but the time slots were only eligible for certain dates.
(Ex: Dates upto Mid-Feb have opened up currently but time slots were only selectable from 27th Jan -2nd Feb. So 3rd & 5th Feb time slots would open up after next working day, ie 27th Dec and so the math goes on.)
It's also worth starting a fresh application with another valid email address if you are unable to find any date-time at a single location of your choice. (Just make sure to then use the same email on your actual application form too.)
I hope this helps some one in need. Good luck & thanks for your replies/help!
