Hi There,
I have a specific question. Today, i.e. 6th Oct 2018 I have got a premium service appointment for SET (LR) visa (Paper Application) for 17th Nov 2018. Can I leave the country for a week in between my booking and visa application, i.e. 12th Oct 2018 to 21st Oct 2018?
I have NOT made an online application so nothing is submitted in form of application, I DID opt for a paper route to ensure that I can leave the UK for a week and come back and do my appointment and submit the application in person. Is this okay? Will my application be invalid if I leave UK in my situation? I cant find anywhere where it is written you can not leave the country if you have made a premium service booking.
The reason why I am confused is that I have received an application (summary) along with premium service booking payment confirmation receipt where it says visa application date is 06 October 2018 00:03 AM. Therefore I am seeking clarification as I am confused.
Please let me know.
Regards
Ravi

You only booked an appointment, you have not yet submitted an application. So, yes you can travel is you want

Sure you can leave, You application date is the date of your appointment.
