reschedule the ILR appointment

[Anjali85]

Hi All,

Hope you are doing well.

I've booked ILR appointment at Croydon UKVI. Due to some personal issues I've to reschedule it to a different date. When I tried to change the appointment on web, it show the message 'there is no appointments available at croydon for next 45 days'.

Can you please advise when UKVI release the appointments? Like, how many days before?
What would be the right time to change the appointment? like, 12.00AM

It is too early for end of January dates. This date is in 65 days time. Appointments are only available to book 42 days in advance, sometimes only about 28 days in advance.

thank you, what time UKVI release the appointments? midnight?

[CR001]

Yes, more or less.

You don't have enough time to reschedule as 1st Dec to 25th January is 55 days. You won't be able to reschedule at all. You would likely have to cancel your existing appointment and rebook it in the 2nd week of December for the date you want.

You must cancel the appointment at least 5 days before the date you have booked.

Please do remember that Refund for cancelled appointment can take upto 4 weeks time as mentioned on UKVI website that might mean you would have to pay fees again if you do not want to wait for that money to be refunded to you ...

Hi All,

Advanced christmas and new year wishes to you all.

As you are aware there are no premium appointments available in any of the Premium Service centers now. Two questions I've related to this.

1. Is there any option to get an appointment?
2. If I dont get an appointment before visa expiry date, is there a buffer time allowed after the Tier 1 visa expiry date?
like, ILR can be applied till 1 month after the expiry date. If its possible can you please provide the link which states that?

It is not necessary to start a new topic with ongoing questions about the same application in the Tier 1 General Dependent sub forum. Kindly keep all your questions about the same application in this topic, now merged.

There are no appointments available for the exact dates you are looking at as it is TOO EARLY for end of January. Other members seem to be having no problems booking appointments.

1. Is there any option to get an appointment?

Too early for end of January appointments. What have you done regarding your appointment on Friday?

2. If I dont get an appointment before visa expiry date, is there a buffer time allowed after the Tier 1 visa expiry date?

No there is no buffer. The must apply for ILR before their visas expire.
