Now I will share my experience which could be useful for anyone who is going to use the same day service or appearing in person.
Appointment date: 14/05/2010
Time: 09:00 am
Center: Sheffield
- I reached there about 8:00 am, door opened at 8.30 am.
- I went through Security Check where I had to remove my belt, watch and everything I had in my pocket, also they asked me to remove mobile battery.
- After security check I went to the reception where I showed appointment booking and collected a token
- Waited until my token number called by Visa officer.
- Visa officer asked for all the supporting document along with the Tier1 forms, he did a quick check and then directed me to the payment desk counter.
- Payment Desk officer asked for the documents along with token number and then I made the payment, he kept all the documents and instructed me to wait until i called.
- I Waited around 30-35 mins then Visa officer called my name and told me he is considering my case and everything looks ok to him, he asked me to wait for another 30 mins.
- Visa officer called my name again after 30 mins and asked couple of questions then he said he is ok issuing my tier 1 visa and returned all the supporting docs to me.
- After 15-20 mins reception called my token number and handed me passports
- I was out of the visa center at 11:00 am

All the officers were extremely good and very polite and very friendly.
Complete procedure took around 2 hours.
My wife she didn't join me but I submitted form on behalf of her (I just took her authorization letter)
If anyone has any question please let me know.
This forum rocks i will recommend it to my friends as well.
Thanks again.
