I booked an appointment for premium service to get my ILR done in one day so I can travel abroad. On the site it says "Do not apply more than 28 days before you visa expires !!!" So I did apply 21 days before. The first available appointment was 9 days after the end of my previous document!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I booked it thinking that I do everything right.
Few days before the appointment we called to ask some question and found out that I have overstayed my visa.After woman said to write covering letter explaining what have happened! It is not my fault that they do not have enough appointments.
So now my case is treated as POSTAL APPLICATION! I am waiting....
Is it just me who is the situation like this? Only good thing is that I pay less money for postal application...
I was in a similar situation where there were no appointments available at the Croydon PEO 28 days before my Limited Leave to Remain expired, so had the option of taking a day off work travelling to the Liverpool PEO, or sending in a postal application. In hindsight, the Liverpool PEO option, a day's lost pay, and £250 in return train fares probably would have been the less frustrating option.
Best of luck with your postal application.
Thank you )))Good luck to you you also )) How long have you been waiting now? I was looking at 3 cities and non of them had appointment before my document expired.
