As per the new appointment system, One has to pay 100£ within 48 hours of booking online appointment.. I had booked mine 4 weeks back.. when this was not applicable..

Now i see that the appointment in my account is still active.. but want to understand from the forum if i need to call up and pay £100 now.. or will it be charged during the PEO appointment?

I am certian that the 100 pounds per person can not be avoided even if appointments were booked before 6th April.
The question is when to pay it: pay it now or when attending the appointment.

If that is the case, when you apply 19th Apr 2013. 18th Apr 18th Apr 2008 you were not in UK.

But, there is another case like: the day you enter EC dated and 5 years after 28 days before you can apply.

So, calculate according to these rules and fit your appoitment inside the bar.

I was issue entry clearance on the 2nd of May 2008.. and i entered UK within 90 days.. i.e. 2nd June 2008.

Now should i take 28 days from 2nd May 2008 or 2nd June 2008.

Thanks for your responses.. but both are contradicting..

My current visa is valid till 2nd June 2013..

should calculation of 5 years be 28 days from 2nd June 2013 ( as suggested by Kevin24) or 28 days from 2nd May 2013 ( as suggested by Alanwong)

As you arrived in the UK within 28 days of your EC date, you can count that period towards your 5 years.

You can apply for ILR 28 days before completion of your 5 years (inc the period between EC and First Entry).

I booked my ILR Appointment using Form Set (O) using the UKBA Online Booking tool.
I also called the UKBA Number and made payment of £300 (for 3 people).

I got confirmation email and now I have also received UKBA Appointment Letter. The confusion is because UKBA Appointment letter mentions in the subject that appointment is for Application Type FS.

I did not understand 'FS' so I called the same UKBA Payment Line. The gentleman said, he is hearing it for the first time and he does not know what it is. I am in a fix. I do not want to reach PEO and then get turned down because of some problem with application type etc.

Does anybody know what is this Application Type FS? In the worst case, if UKBA has booked me for a different type of application, do you think they would consider it when I explain the situation to them? Those who have been there, could you please share your experience?

Thank you so much in advance for your help.

Regards,
A
