Belfast or sheffield??

Post by vhathiramani » Thu Jan 10, 2013 9:46 am

Hi,
I am a self employed dentist , was on work permit, started on jan 13th 2008 . My tier 1 is valid till 2014. due for ilr, i got 2 appointments one in belfast on jan 29th and one two weeks after that in sheffield. I live in newcastle so sheffield is convenient but am debating as belfast is a good peo. the minus point is that I have 3 dependants to travel with ....please advise

Hi Vimal, What do you mean by Belfast is a good PEO? and how do you know it is good?

If you are looking for a good pub, you can refer to The Good Pub Guide. I'm not aware that PEOs, intended to offer a uniform product, are reviewed by their clients and graded according to the standard of service offered. Are you asking about the parking or bathroom facilities (baby changing room) in that location, or perhaps if they have drinks vending machine?

Furthermore, unless a member of this community has been to both facilities (unlikely), he would hardly be in a position to make a comparison.

Your question makes no sense if you actually understand the immigration process. Your application is supposed to be given exactly the same treatment irrespective of the location. Just because someone has a good experience in Belfast does not mean that Belfast takes a lenient approach. That application was unique to that applicant who met the requirements of the immigration rules. He would have been given the same result in any of the PEOs, but as he did not attend another PEO, his comment on his Belfast experience is worthless to you and your enquiry.

I get your point. However applicants in Solihull get their documents reviewd first and then pay...but to repeat i get your point though..

You should attend a PEO that is convenient to your location where you can secure an appointment. Selectively choosing a PEO that is remote from your location, on the very dubious rumour that they are acting as something of a sanctuary, is completely misguided.

Holding two appointment is not right. You are depriving others of the opportunity to book an appointment while you seek to get advice (FOR FREE) in this forum.
Please do not send me PM if I haven't sent you one yet.

is it possible to book more than one appointment for same candidate at one PEO office or different offices with various dates.
i have raised this question because have seen some posts that people are booking multiple appointments but i don't know for what reason
