Dear all,
I am trying to book PSC appointment for ILR on the 28th,29th April or later but do not see any appointments for Croydon.
Have been checking multiple times in the past 2-3 days but could not find any slot.
I can see for Solihul but nothing for Croydon. Is it possible that the slot for Croydon on those days is not released yet.
Thanks,
Jacob

In recent weeks it seems appointments have only been available to book between 20 and 28 days in advance. Keep checking.

Many thanks CR001 and Screenprint. Based on your experience do you suggest I book the available one for Solihul (which is like 4 hour travel for me) now and change once Croydon becomes available.
Cheers,
Jacob

Can you not wait a couple of days and check availability and then book?

If you application is straight forward it does not matter which PEO you goes to. Hopefully u will get a Positive Result Regardless of Certain PEO !
But if you have a complex history, than I would suggest to do post application.
But Looking at your history below your case seems like a straight forward !

I think your options are pretty clear i.e.
1. Wait for slots to open up at Croydon or
2. Book at Solihull (not a bad place personally)
Depends if you have time to keep checking then wait else go ahead and book it. I live on west end and it took me 2 hours to drive.

Thanks CR001, Screenprint, RRSB2012. I will wait for couple of days and hopefully slots will open in Croydon. Logistics wise it is just abt 35 minutes drive, hence much easier for me, otherwise I am ok for any PSC. Will keep you updated.
Cheers, Jacob

The slots have not opened yet. Today is 5th of April and they have still not opened up Croydon slots from around 20th April Is any one else facing the same issue or it is just me. I called the help desk no and they have no knowledge about any technical problem in the system.
Cheers,
Jacob

The slots will be available as and when they are released for appointments.
Call HO to know how many days in advance are they released.
If you don't see them .. it means no slots are available for the day(s) of your choice at that moment - either already booked (if released) or not yet released.
End of story!
Life isn't fair, but you can be!
