Mesmerised !! Anyhow, it says that every person attending should register. however in case of ILR set (0) it is not mandatory for the dependant to attend.

Yes Vinseh,

there are quite a few in almost every PEO, but as soon as i add a family member ( i.e. total no. of person applying is 2), i CANT see any to be honest.

Can you please confirm if you had seen loads of appointment even after adding a dependent/family member

Comments are welcome.
