Clarification : Online application & PEO appointment

[vb1974]

I have recently joined the forum and was hoping to get a clarification regarding a query about online application and the premium appointments?

Does one has to complete an online application form prior getting the PEO appointment or it can be taken separately for paper form?

Look forward for the guidance.

What is your status? Which visa you want to apply for? The requirments are different for each visa.

A brief history will help forum members to help you...

When applying in-person it is up to you whether you wish to use the "apply online" service (using interactive forms) or use the paper form instead.

If "applying online", you will need to use the interactive forms, pay the payment online (for some immigration categories) and then book an appointment at the end of the "applying online" process.

Alternatively, you can book an appointment, use a paper form to submit on the day of the appointment and pay the fees at the PEO on the day of the appointment.

Your choice.

Dear Sir/madam,


My present status is of TIER 2 sponsored migrant, visa valid till 02/14, however due to redundancy I am being forced to change employment. My new employers had applied for new sponsorship license in Feb 2012 but unfortunately issuance is still awaited. RMLT simultaneously completed.

My end date with present employer is end of June. I am hoping and praying that the license is issued followed by COS# at earliest so that I can apply for new BRP asap. For that very reason trying to look for some PEO dates for June/July, else no choice but to send by post? From the various posts, it seems it will take atleast 2-3 months for the process by post.

Does on line application form expedites the process? I have been trying for the PEO appointment but no luck! Any further advise?
