Just to update, heard from lawyer that my application was considered and approved yesterday. Expect to get docs back this week. So the answer is that Croydon PEO at least is honoring its timings and considering premium cases (straightforward ones at least) within 1-2 business days if not on the day ...

Paul you paid using Draft? A. £1300 Banker's Draft payable to Home Office (Dated 13.02.2012) Name and date of birth written on the back.

Thats quite surprising that they mentioned you that. I had appointment on 17/02 as well and mine was straight forward application.

I don't mind waiting a week or so, I just wanted to check that I'm not automatically going back into the postal queue. Of course I realize that if extra checks are required I might wait longer - just...

It is not for additional checks. I was told in advance I could either go to Liverpool for same day consideration or to Croydon for "within a few days" consideration because Croydon PEO has more cases to process and takes longer. Assuming no additional checks are required (I have a very str...

I went for a premium appointment at Croydon PEO on Friday last week. I arranged through a lawyer/agent and was told that while I could submit my application and biometrics on the day, my application would not be considered until today (Feb 20). I have a trip planned in a few weeks and am nervous tha...

Not immigration history, but countries you have traveled to since your last application? I have been to some places which du...
