Actually, please confirm for me one more time (I would hate to apply a day too soon and get denied!)...

I came on a marriage visa.  Was approved for FLR (M) #1 at an in-person appointment on June 5th 2013.  So 5 years is June 5, 2018, right?  And 28 days before that is May 8, correct?

I'm planning to refresh the page at midnight Monday night (Tuesday 'morning') to try for book on May 8th.

I've been keeping away from it lately so I don't stress so much, but the last few times I checked right at midnight, there has been one or two appointments visible briefly right after midnight.

I get May 8th!

It depends on the way you count it but if it was me, I would actually go for the 9th, to be completely safe!  :)

Yeah, that's what I fet, too, but it is still an uneasy feeling.  Maybe I'll try for the 8th and if I don't get it, problem solved.  :P

I'm so impatient and yet conflicted about the timing...  I'd like to do it yesterday if I could!  Blargh.  I will just count the days again and again.  :)
9/1/2013 - "fiancée" (marriage) visa issued
4/6/2013 - married (certificate issued same-day)

I totally get it!   I still haven't got over being robbed of a week because of the weather.  ;D But I know 6 weeks spent waiting for the appointment and wondering if I had booked a day too early would be worse! That's me though!  ;D

Less than two hours to go!  Anybody wanna confirm when my "28 days" actually is one final time because I'm super paranoid?  I promise this is the last time!

Marriage ("fiancee") visa issued: 9 January 2013
Entered UK: 1 February, 2013
Married: 4 June, 2013
In-person FLR(M)1: 5 June, 2013
Postal FLR(M)2: 6 January 2016

So five years is 5 June, 2018.  And 28 days before that is...?
9/1/2013 - "fiancée" (marriage) visa issued
4/6/2013 - married (certificate issued same-day)
5/6/2013 - FLR(M)#1 in person -- approved!
8/1/2016 - FLR(M)#2 by post -- approved!
8/5/2018 - ILR in person -- approved!
22/11/2018 - Citizenship (online, with NDRS+JCAP) -- approved!
14/12/2018 - I became a British citizen.  :)

I do know!  That's why I need a third opinion.  I've counted it again and again and keep coming up with May 8th, but I'm still apprehensive about it.  But my husband was granted special permission to take one day of leave during that week, and the PSC we need to go to is really hard to book... I don't want to intentionally miss one opportunity to get booked in only to find out that it's not possible for the remaining days.  This whole process is such a balancing act.

On the bright side, the fee increase was about £400 less than I expected, so if we completely miss out, we can keep trying for Saturdays after that week.  We really just want it done.

I trust Google.  I'm gonna book it (I hope!).  Thanks, ksand24!

I got my appointment!  Six weeks and 14 hours from now, I'll be applying for my final visa!

My five years was Monday October 16, 2017.  My in person ILR was Monday, September 18, 2017.  All was fine.  Yours is exactly the same.

And Google has spoken.

Woo hoo!  Glad you secured your appointment!!!

Congrats!!

Just an FYI for people having problems with getting dates. I did the premium booking for my first FLR(m) and ILR and both times when I first looked there were no dates in Liverpool or near by. I pretty much kept hitting refresh for at least 2 hours and both times an appointment magically appeared. Not sure if this is a Liverpool thing or what but it did happen twice.
