Looking to apply under the FLR(M) category and do this via a premium service centre. As my current visa expires July 22 I am (obviously) a little stressed about getting it all done in time. There's a limited time frame as the appointment has to of course take place before this date, but also after we get married in Vegas June 12 (could be ~10 days for us to get a copy of our certified marriage certificate we'll need for the application).
I've read somewhere that appointments aren't released until 42 days in advance? I did just check now out of curiosity to see how the system worked and as everything I've read about appointment release seems to be anecdotal rather than clearly indicated by an official source. It came up indicating no appointments were available for the week I searched (July 4 - 11...as I don't want to leave it until the day of my visa expiry, but will if I have to!). There's no indication that it's due to them not being released yet. I'm slightly panicking as there's also something that says your searches for appointments are limited (only 5 times)?? It's beyond me as to why this is the case.
Can anyone point me in the right direction of an official source that says anything about the release of appointments? Or have any advice for securing an appointment on a tight time frame? I'd hate to have to go through an immigration advisor or solicitor as our application is quite straightforward otherwise.... but if that's what I have to do to secure an appointment then I'll just have to shell out *surpise surprise* MORE money!! Falling in love with a foreigner is so expensive
Although waking up to that English accent every morning is worth it! Haha.
