Could someone help me with following queries. I will be completing 5 years on Tier 2 on feb 27th 2019 and I know that I can apply for ILR before 28 days of my qualifying period. I can see that with the new service I need to complete the online application form first and book the biometrics appointment through sopra steria website.
1. I m confused if I can submit my application before 30th jan 2019 and book my appointment after 1st feb 2019 so that I can attend my appointment as soon as I can.
2. any idea on the earliest appointment times once an application submitted? like is it possible to get an appointment within 2 days or so ?
could anyone help me with these queries please
Hi srika,
There were various discussion going on regarding the application date whether its online submission or biometric date - so probably worth reading previous posts.
To be on the safer side you can submit the application as soon as you reach 28 days qualification period and book an appointment accordingly - it really depends how busy the centres are - so not sure if you would get an appointment in 2 days. Also you need to pay extra to get an appointment earlier. Generally appointments which are in 2 weeks or more are free.
Senior members can reflect more on this.
