Leaving the country after booking a premium service appointment for SET (LR) ILR visa application

Post by ravichitwan » Sat Oct 06, 2018 1:04 am

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
