I agree, this is true, you can go to any city you wish....I think the offices are staffed depending on demands. Dont be surprised to get farther appointment date in a relatively unpopular city. You get more slots where the demand for appointments are high hence HMPO tend to have more staffs on ground hence more appointment slots.shak80 wrote:I think you can go to any city ..................where the day is available..............

Also any Luton PO tips & hint will be greatly appreciated. Ta!hsmp2010 wrote:anybody who had experience of birmingham PO can tell how much its waiting time and how long interview took thanx
InUkOnHsmp wrote:What tips do you need TTOE, I was there on Tuesday.
Multistorey car park across the road from the building. The PO folks are quite relaxed, they do ask a lot of questions though, but are very friendly.
Do not need to carry any documents with you at all, apart from the interview letter. Carry water etc, as there is no water cooler in the office or in the building!
Any other questions, do shout and good luck mate!
It will, update us as soon as.... all the best with the rest bits. I hope your lil one fast track appointment went well.InUkOnHsmp wrote:No problem have fun, I am hoping my passport to drop through the letter box today,lets see.

No problem TTOE, update from my side, I was home for lunch when there was a knock on the door, and a very hefty truck driver like DX worker dropped off both the passports for us, contrary to what I heard on the group, he took my signature, noted details like the color of my front door etc etc, very thorough. So finally our passports are here, now to surrendering our Indian passports, and applying for PIOs for the family.TTOE wrote:It will, update us as soon as.... all the best with the rest bits.

Many thanks mate again.
Many congrats mate!InUkOnHsmp wrote:Thanks everyone for their help and support at various points. Love this forum!
I'm so very sure all is well, expect the ppt tomorrow or next.InUkOnHsmp wrote:The fast track appointment was really strange, it was in peterborough, and the person responsible kept forgettting to take vital documents, and I had to remind him more than once. I just hope there is no glitch with the little one's passport.
