Follow for similar queries:Suggestion for booking biometrics appointments, might be helpful to new users:
You have 45 working days to book an appointment (excluding Sat/Sun) after online submission. These days biometrics appointments are running at a 28 days lag i.e. you get an appointment for the 28th day unless you get to find an earlier cancellation.
My suggestion:
1) Login UKVCAS booking system 12 AM midnight GMT (1am BST) to look for appointments.
2) Look for different centres and locations if you are willing to travel.
3) Look continuously for 3/4 days regularly (after submission and before booking a slot) to find an earlier cancellation or free appointments during the day/after midnight. For free appointments look especially between 6am-9am in the morning. Free options are offered by Core Centres only (week days).
4) If you fail and can not find any earlier cancellations or free appointments for next 3/4 days after submission, book one logging in at 12 AM midnight GMT. You will get one for the 28th day (has to be a week day for better availability). If the 28th day is a Sat/Sun, availability will be almost nil.
I would suggest you try your luck for 3/4 days before you book one. Once you book an appointment, you will not be able to see any more availability.

5.2. Who should attend the appointment?
All the customers named on the application must attend your appointment with you.
Please only bring named applicants with you to your appointment. For any exceptions where one
additional person may be permitted please see the options below
Do I need to attend the appointment (I am the spouse sponsoring the visa) or is it just the applicant needed?

Just paid for the super priority for SET LR and realised UKVCAS runs 28 days late:(
I have two questions with regards to booking UKVCAS appointments
- when are new slots released?
- do enhanced centre appointments definitely cover uploading the documents( intend to book Guildford)?
Your help is much appreciated,
CULLINAN wrote: ↑Sun May 02, 2021 12:24 amJust to clarify, do not confuse the Super priority service (SP) with UKVCAS appointment slots.
SP is provided by UKVI and the time count starts after biometrics appointment.
Biometrics appointments are provided by UKVCAS on behalf of UKVI.
There are free (very less) or paid slots upon availability. Biometrics appointments run at a 28 days lag these days due to corona delays.
There are options between core centres, enhanced centres and premium lounge. All provide the same service with some added perks for example, comfortable sofas or privacy at a premium lounge, scanning service included in enhanced centre etc. The fees depends on the centre option you choose.
Your friend might be lucky to get next day appointment (or it maybe before corona). Given corona, availability is drastically affected.
You will need to test your luck looking different centres and different locations. If you do not mind paying around £250 for biometrics look for premium lounges also. Maybe you will get an earlier slot there upon availability.
Croydon Lansdowne usually has better availability if you do not mind travelling (in case you live far).
