Interesting observation for Online appointment booking

Dear Friends,

What I have observed over the past week with online booking system for ILR Set (0) excluding long residency category that - if I put just my name only ( without adding family member), there are plenty and yes I mean it PLENTY of appointments available.

As soon as I add family member (my spouse who is currently on WP dependant visa) there are NO appointments available whatsoever irrespective of the date and location.

Wish I was single and would have obtained an appointment by now… hehe… but as you know guys life is brutal especially once you are married. :D

Anybody has similar experience? Any advise what can be done to obtain a family appointment. (With one dependant only)

Yes Vinseh,

there are quite a few in almost every PEO, but as soon as i add a family member ( i.e. total no. of person applying is 2), i CANT see any to be honest.

Can you please confirm if you had seen loads of appointment even after adding a dependent/family member

Comments are welcome.

I have had the same experience. When I add dependents online appointments does not show any availability but if I do not add dependents then it shows a lot of dates available.
