SET(m) premium service centre booking

Post by Birdaa » Wed Aug 29, 2018 11:41 am

Creating this topic to share my experience booking a PSC appointment for my final settlement visa after being on FLR(m).

I appear to have boxed myself in to only being able to apply on a specific day so I keep checking the available appointments daily. I originally applied for FLR(m) via a PSC appointment on 22/11/2013. I then renewed this as early as possible on 26/4/2016. So although my current visa expires on 26/10/2018, I won't complete the 60 month requirement for SET(m) until 22/11/2018. Counting 28 days back, the earliest I can apply is on 26/10/2018, the same day my visa expires.

It's coming down to the wire but I'm hopeful seeing more appointments made available this week. I am continuing to check even though I know appointments for 26/10/2018 won't be available for another two weeks or so.

Minus 28 days is 25 October according to the calculator on timeanddate.com

It’s too early to book for that date online, slots are released 6 weeks before. You’ll be able to book that day on 13 October at 00:00 if the UKVI booking system is behaving itself.

If you can’t find a slot it’ll have to be a postal application.
My comments do not constitute immigration advice, if in doubt consult an immigration adviser/solicitor

Thanks for this. It means I have an extra day of wiggle room. Unfortunately, a postal application isn't possible with planned travel for work as well as personal travel in December. If anything I will just apply for an extension of the FLR(m) and pay the fee and PSC fee again to buy some more time as I can do this at any point before my current visa expires.

I will update the post once I'm able to book an appointment.
