Hi All,
I've just submitted my wife's first extension and looking for an appointment at the centre now, can someone confirm the following;
1) How long does the scanning take, do they have machine that quickly scans them all or is it a slow process of page by page taking an hour to scan 60-80 pages and passport pages too?
2) What days are the appointment times releasing for booking, is it daily I need to check or do they release times every weekly i.e Mondays
1) Why dont you want to scan all documents and organise them yourself? Its best to scan and upload yourself. However, if you wish, you will have to buy scanning service at the time when you book your appointment. You will spend more time at the centre also. Yes they have bigger scanners which does the job quicker than a normal scanner (they had it at the london premium lounge but can not vouch for all centres).
2) Can you not view any appointments? You should be able to view appointments for next 4 weeks. Note, free appointments are eaten up quickly so you will have to look for paid otherwise. Also, check different postcodes to search for different centres. Sometimes, the centre closest to you may not have any availability showing up depending on your location.
If you check the system now, it should show you availability till 2nd November. Just after 12 midnight today, it should show you availability up to 3rd Nov (1 day more).
