Urgent appointment for Tier1 extension

[InUkOnHsmp]

Hi Forum,


I just came to know that I might have to fly to another country on a company assignment in mid October. Now I am on HSMP and was planning to apply for extension in the last week of September, but that will engage my passport and will render me unable to attend the conference.

I know I can apply for an in-person appointment, but that will be 6 weeks from now, even if I get it and that will be too late for me.

Is there any premium service I can use to get an urgent appointment for my Tier1 application? Is the in-person application the fastest way to get an appointment and an extension?

Any pointers will be appreciated.

Regards

some solicitors can make urgent appointment. they have different slots. i had got mine within 3 days notice. but you will need to pay solicitors service charge.

Based on what I have heard - In addition to their normal daily quota (does one really exist??) the Solicitors also get slots for the appointments cancelled. Worth giving a try, I think

Thanks Nionlight and Push for your suggestions.

Anyone with first-hand experience with such solicitors, specially in the Cambridge/London area, even otherwise?

Just to add.

I was in the same position as you, desperate for appointment.
I used to call home office every one hour every single day.
some one cancelled and i took the slot.
(many people cancel appointments)

SO just keep trying you might get lucky as I did
