TIER 2 ILR - SET (o) IN PERSON PREMIUM NO DATES

[Sreeni83]

DEAR ALL

I 'VE BEEN TRYING FOR THE PAST 2 DAYS TO GET A DATE FOR THE ILR PREMIUM SERVICE - BUT NO DATES ARE SHOWING UP ON THE SYSTEM TILL MAY 2018 IN ALL CENTRES. FUNNY THING IS THERE WERE PLENTY DATES IN APRIL 2018, SAW EVEN 4TH APRIL 2 DAYS AGO IN CROYDON. SOME PEOPLE SUGGESTED ME TO LOOK AT ODD TIMES LIKE MIDNIGHT OR 2 AM, BUT ITS SAME. I AM SUSPECTING THE 6TH APRIL FEES HIKE RUSH. ANY IDEAS GUYS?

REGARDS

Posting in CAPITALS is difficult to read and considered the same as SHOUTING.

You don't state what date exactly you are looking for to book an appointment???

Any date will work as you are on Tier 2 since March 2013 and your current visa only expires in December, so not sure why you believe there is an issue??

Hi

I am also trying to book my premium service appointment but it seems website is down. It does show dates till 14th May 2018 and few appointments after refreshing a number of times, but keep throwing this message again and again:
Page cannot be displayed
There is a problem displaying this page - try again in a few minutes.

The problem should be fixed soon, so try again in a few moments

Is anyone else too experiencing this issue now or experienced in past? I tried from midnight till 2am and now trying since 8am.

Thanks.

I was able to see appointments for 14th May after 11am but now can see most of the appointments are booked, if server was down then how come someone is able to book appointment when I am unable to do so sitting on this since midnight.

Please advise if there is an alternative?

Who said the server was down??

Who said the server was down??

Purely my assumption as I am consistently getting this message

Sorry for posting in Upper Case. I was panicking after realizing no date in April 18.

I was hoping I would get a date in a week atleast but when i saw May 18 dates, i couldnt believe it.

At present the website isnt loding up, it says not available. Tried clearing cache etc,,, but no avail

My employer gave me a letter dated 30th March 18, how long is it valid for?

Sorry folks i m going mental over this

I have also been trying to book ILR premium appointment for 18 May without any success. I was able to select the date 18 May then 'loading' was displayed for a very long time without anything showing up.

Please is there a better way of doing this to get this appointment booked for 18 May?

Many thanks.

I think the latest release is for appointments on 15th May 2018, please wait for 3 more days to be able to select 18th May. The system throws appointments upto 42days only, so count 42 days in reverse from 18th May 2018.

Valid for a calendar month from what I understood.

It shows loading after selecting date (15 May) and never displayed anything beyond that until after a while then it says page cannot be displayed. Is this a known issue?

Yes, I am also facing the same issue since Friday, I am trying to book an appointment for May. I think there is some server issue, guess we must contact Home office and inform them about the problem with the website.

Is is possible that the appointments are not available and system is down deliberately to implement fee hike on 6th April 2018? And the system will be back on 6th now to make a new booking?

Thanks

No, highly unlikely.

Likely either maintenance work over the last couple of days or just very busy with people trying to book and pay for appointments before the 6th.

What made to have this thought is one of my friend who has blocked 4th May appointment on Friday but still not paid is still able to see his saved application directing to payment page, where as people like me who still need to select the date and time slot are getting this message of "Page cannot be displayed".

As I said, likely huge amounts of people trying to book appointments. Many more than are members on the forum!!

[Sreeni83]

same issue Apsk. I blocked a date 5th April 8.30 am @ Croydon on 29th March 18. Went to my head office, after HR agreed to give me in person on Friday (Bank holiday, no office, so less busy etc..). Checked on Friday morning , still slot available, and left for office. Came back with the letter and since Friday evening this is the case.

I think their system cant cope with the load as people are trying to pay before 6th April and get it all booked. Otherwise, something is got to be horribly wrong?

[Sreeni83]

No phone service available for online issues. They clearly say email with the query, so is like stuck at present
