that is because they can only book 6 weeks ahead. You will have to try again on monday and this will open a window for 11 July, Tuesday will open windown for 12 July etc. Also ring exactly at 9:00 otherwise you wont get an appointment, all appointments are gone within the first 5-10 minutes

and this will open a window for 11 July, Tuesday will open windown for 12 July etc.

this should read as 13 July, Tuesday will open windown for 14 July etc. (they don't do weekends)

Keep trying if you want an appointment. Start dialling from 5 mins to 9 and continue redialling till you are connected. If you are lucky to get through by 9/9:05 you can get an appointment. If not try again. I know its frustating but thats the way it works. I

fahadz1,

What push_hsmp said is correct, you got to keep trying . You must be dialling 2 mins before 9 am and initially you will be hearing a recorded voice that says "HO opens at 9 Am blah blah..", but keep re-dialing till 8.59 and you will hear a change in recorded voice as "welcome to border & immg blah blah....", then follow the instructions and you wil get connected to the agent..

I booked my appointment in similar way after trying 3 days like this..if you try the way i told above you must get one sure in 2 or 3 days..

Finally, the frustration of waiting for postal applications for more than 2 months and in between calling them to find status is worse than waiting for appointments..so stay calm and you will get one..

all de best.

mate if you are really frustrated then I suggest you to apply through solicitor, you might get appointment within a week or two. cost veries from £500 to £1250 . I have talked to few solicitors in order to get my appointment but i got appointment by myself in middle.

asking same question on form wont yield anything unfortunately.

I agree with you, it took about 4 attempts as well for me to get an appointment. I felt same way and on the 5th attempt (5th day), I was lucky to get one. So the options are there for you to take; postal, agent or keep calling. Don't wait till 9am to call. Try from 8:58 and keep calling constantly even if the out of office message keeps playing. All the best!

Trick is to start calling at 8:55/57. Even if you hear the message that the office is closed and will open at 9:00 AM, continue redialling. Just before 9:00AM you will get through and be first few in the queue and get the appointment. All the best.

mate, I've been doing this for 2 weeks ... what is really needed - some luck

I am afraid even quite recent experience is irrelevant now

Last several days its got much worse - I can't even get through (after 10 minutes' waiting) to a live person who will then tell me that no more appointments are available .. I think their systems are crashing, sometimes you get through and shortly after that your call is being dropped without any reason ..

Keep trying, luck will shine on you. There is no other way to get in-person appointment at PEO (other than using immigration consultant's services). Its frustating but there is not much that you can do.....
