Future absences prior to ILR premium application date

[kwws88]

Hi,

I am not sure if you guys are aware that ILR application done via premium appointment has to go through the online application system now. One of the issues I have had at the moment is the latest dates for premium appointment is approximately 6 weeks ahead when I last checked this week.

My issue is I plan to book my appointment by mid september to ensure I have got my passport for my vacation on first week of september prior to proceeding with ILR application. However to get the dates in September I have to book in advance of my vacation via the online application system, which the problem is that the system does not recognise when I am trying to input my future absences dates from 1st to 9th of September.

Anyone has got any advice whether how I can proceed on this kind of scenario?

No it doesn't. You can still use the paper form and book only an appointment for premium service

Thanks for your responses.

I have accessed the booking via this link: https://www.gov.uk/ukvi-premium-service ... ppointment


It appears to bring you into a page where you will need to fill in the personal details which turns out to be a full application form instead. Kind of confused by the way the system works now. Also I am holding Tier 2 visa at the moment the link seems to suggest I have to book as part of online application.

You are not applying for a Tier 2 visa, but "all others" (ILR). So you can use the paper app.
