The main update happens at midnight, with cancellations appearing at different times.
Note that there are no appointments released on Sundays @ 00:00 unless it’s a cancellation, it’s Mon to Sat that you need to aim for.

Hello, I am due for ilr next month and looking to make an application through the premier route. I am hearing rumours that from October this year, home office will stop the premium route and all applications will have to go the longer route. Please can some one advise of they have heard the same too? Also why are no slots opening for October?

Well... it's not really you have to go with the longer route! I m sure HO will come up with something like PSC with more flexible location and time. But the question is what that would be and when it will come into practice! I also need an appointment in October ..Hope they will come up with something very soon!

That news just makes me all the more grateful I got my booking when I did! I wonder if it will be a better service than what we have now for both standard and priority applicants. I hope so for the sanity of future immigrants because this premium thing is a total mess :/

I guess one just have to wait and be ready for a postal application in such a case. Have you been in touch with any of the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner ( OISC ) regulated immigration advisers? What do they say?

I am on the same board and understand how stressful it is! Please kindly let us know if you get any updates from Home office!
Thanks

Unlikely you can book them. Many times slots show but are not bookable.

That’s working as expected, bookable 6 weeks in advance and no further

Hi!, Things were not as fussy as I thought during booking a PSC appointment in October! By the grace of Allah, I made an appointment on October 1st week at Croydon. Afer completing the payment I received an email subject to: UK visa application: payment confirmation - what to do next [Mr ********] which shows my details ..appointment time date and place.
I guess its all done with the booking..right?
Try exactly 12:00 to get an appointment and if things go wrong then don't panic. just refresh and re-login! For a quick completion, i would suggest you to write down ur card details in a notepad and copy from there! it saves a lot of time..Good luck with booking and hope outcome will be good as well.
Best Regards

Can any help. Each time I click on a date for an appoint, I get a message in red text saying "You must answer this question..." Then it returns me to the previous page.
I can't find the question that I need to answer on the page. I have also through the rest of my application and can confirm that I have not missed answering any question. I am just confused as to what question requires answering.
This has prevented me from booking an appointment.

Hi everyone, I’m sooo glad to see the post. I feel really frustrated as been attempting to book an appointment for the last 14 days and also trying every 12 midnight. Sometimes an appointment appears but when I click the date it’s either just loading or shows “need to answer questions”. Been trying 2 devices at a time (laptop and idiot-phone) and used chrome, firefox and IE but no luck. Anyone can help please what I should do?
