PEO appointment date confusion

[babitha.srinivas]

Hi all,
A bit confused here.. We managed to get a PEO appointment for me and my dependant son for 31st of August. We entered the UK on the 29th of September, which should mean we complete our 5 years in the country on the 28th of September.

Now the confusion is whether our appointment for 31st of August lies in the Eligibility period. The website says you have to apply within 28 days of being eligible for an ILR. I have tried rebooking for 1st week of August but in vain. Been trying everyday, every night.

Can anybody confirm if our appointment date is ok and we ll be eligible to apply.

TIA
Babitha

Anyone? Please advice

My view is that you complete 5 years as of the 29th September 2018 and not the 28th which would mean the earliest PSC appointment should be the 1st Sept Happy to be corrected by a senior member/moderator

I’ve just checked and there are dozens of appointments available across the country - Croydon, Sheffield and Solihull to name but a few

Thanks for your reply. I m really looking to book an appointment in the first half of september. The appointments do show up but when u try to confirm, it says page cannot be displayed for some reason, no matter how quick i am or whether it is google chrome or IE. Its quite frustrating... I really hope it is the website and not something i am doing wrong.

Page cannot be displayed
There is a problem displaying this page - try again in a few minutes.

The problem should be fixed soon, so try again in a few moments

Go to GOV.UK

That is what happens when i try to confirm an appointment. Is it because the slot is taken, because when i return to look for another appointment, it still shows the same appointments as available and doesnt let me confirm and goes back to the same message as above

That’s a technical issue with their website. Clear cache, close your browser window and try again.

tried all the suggested methods, didnt work though appointments were available. Atlast cancelled the booked appointment after confirming that I ll get a full refund. Did a fresh PSC appointment application and just managed to book at my preferred centre. Will keep an eye for an earlier date. Thanks for the advice
