Premium service for SET (M) visa unavailable?
« on: July 16, 2018, 10:24:22 AM »
Hello :)

It's time for me to apply for my ILR visa SET (M) and I hoped to book a premium appointment, but when I get to the part of the process on the website where the available dates are displayed it says there are no dates available for the next 45 days at any of the locations throughout the UK. I did a bit of digging and it seems that sometimes they are released on a Monday morning. I have been checking all morning and nothing... anywhere. Is it an issue with the type of visa I'm after, my timing, or is it possible that there is actually nothing anytime, anywhere? I was hoping for Glasgow.

Thanks!

Just keep trying over the next few days.  The system is quite buggy and releases appointments at no particular time/day.  It's odd.  But you should find one.

I booked mine just after midnight.  I stayed up specifically for that purpose, and refreshed the appointments a few times prior to midnight and nothing was available, but a minute or two past, nearly the entire day that I wanted was open, so I had my pick of appointment times.

Easier said than done but try not panic

I posted a similar thread a while ago and the experts here said you’ll get one - and I did.

I didn’t do midnight but I did book mine at 6am and had a large choice

For about a week or before I went on daily playin around and honestly everyday there were openings

Keep trying and you will be surprised- I too I initially hit the “no appointments for 45 days” message and had a huge meltdown but all was fine

I wanted Cardiff as closest but ended up at Solihull (got our flr there) as I wanted an 8am appointment & Cardiff only had 1pm

I read somewhere but don’t take this as me saying it’s fact that once you get an appointment you can easily change but when you try to change you are shown fewer spots and they differ to the initial slots people are shown when they make the initial appointment

Did I believe the advice don’t panic you’ll get something - well no I didn’t! Wished I had now though as it would have saved me some sleepless nights

Thanks everyone. I really appreciate the replies and feel much better now! I think I will try after midnight tonight and early morning thereafter... and hope for the best!
