croydon vs cardiff peo

[andy77]

Hi

I was going to book a peo appointment for myself and 3 dependants, so to take an overall view i checked out the forum for some inputs.

I have a choice of croydon and cardiff as per my location, what i would like to understand is that which peo is better, i know both of them are doing the same job but reading through what happended in croydon a few months back with the IT hangup i got wondering.

Is there such a thing as a better peo than another one

cheers

I would still suggest Croydon as it's the HO of UKBA and they have senior case workers which other PEOs don't have.

Also they (Croydon) can handle complicated application while other PEOs sometimes don't and ask the applicants to apply by post.

As far as the IT issues are concerned, they can happen in any PEO. But for last few weeks I have noticed that IT systems of UKBA have been much more stable and there are less IT issues these days if you compare it to Apr and May 2012.

One reason why there are more scary stories coming out of Croydon is the volume of 'not straightforward' they come across, and as a result need to go through the rigours of UKBA. Other PEOs simply refer you to Croydon, thus maintaining their own higher Pass rate.
