Hi All,
My visa is expiring on 23rd July and want to apply for ILR asap. Could anyone please guide me for the appointment booking.....when can I start looking for appointment.
If I start from today, for 27th June onwards appointments, is that ok?

Hello,
PEO appointments for Croydon are easy to get but if you want appointments at other PEOs like Solihull, you have to be quick to grab. I have recently had my ILR done from Solihull. While booking the slot, what i was told by a friend was that the slots open at mid night. Indeed this was the case, I searched for available slots at 11:55 and they were not visible and then at 12:00 there were slots available. Sit online one night and see what date slots are available.

CDP: the appointments become available 42 days (6 weeks) in advance.
If for example you want to book a PEO appointment for Monday, 23 July 2012, you need to book it on Monday, 11 June 2012 (exactly 42 days in advance).

Use the date calculator to work out the date you wish to visit PEO.

Hi, I need to apply for ILR after 11th August as that is 28 days before my visa expires on 8th September. I want to make an appointment at Croydon. I was told that appointments are available 3 months before you have to apply on the online system. I have been looking for it since 11th May but none are available. I read in the forum here that they are available only 42 days before. Could someone please confirm which is correct? I want to book an appointment myself and not through a law firm as that would cost me a lot of money and I cant afford it. Thanks in advance.

fatimahanif: It’s too early to book an appointment for 11th Aug 2012.
As I said before, the slots become available 42 days (6 weeks) in advance.
The system even sometimes shows appointments beyond 42 days but doesn’t let you book anything beyond 42 days time.
If you want to book a slot for 11th Aug 2012, you need to do it online on Saturday, 30 June 2012. Make sure you do it at midnight on 29th June (when the date changes from 29th to 30th June 2012).

Hi, thanks for the quick reply. Is it generally easy to make an appointment?

Yes, it’s very easy to book an appointment online. I would suggest you register your self in advance and get ready at the time of booking your appointment. This would save time at the time of booking.
You can even register yourself today at UKBA’s website.

That’s no problem. Set a reminder for 29-30th June as the slots for 11th Aug will appear at that time.
