It says a minimum of 2 working days, which means it is possible to use this online method up to 2 working days before the appointment.Service SET (M)
About this service
Application for permanent residence in the United Kingdom as the husband, wife, civil partner or unmarried/same-sex partner of a permanent resident.
Cost
Fee if you are applying by post:
Main applicant £840.
Partner or child aged under 18 (if they are applying at the same time as the main applicant) £129 for each family member included on the main applicant's application form.
Fee if you are applying in person:
Main applicant £1,095.
Partner or child aged under 18 (if they are applying at the same time as the main applicant) £154 for each family member included on the main applicant's application form.
Before you pay:
check that the limit on your card is sufficient to cover the fee;
and
tell your bank that you are about to make a large payment (this will ensure that they do not mistake this untypical transaction for online fraud.)
If you want to book an appointment at a UKBA Public Enquiry Office (PEO) you must do this before you pay online. Please ensure there is a minimum of 2 working days between the date of payment and your booked PEO appointment. If you visit any PEO within 2 working days of paying we will cancel your appointment.

I was hoping for different issue and expiry date (i.e.- not an exact 2 years visa), which in turn might have brought forward the settlement eligibility date! Unforunately, no such luck!!

Online payment and using interactive form is not the only option available. One can still use a paper form and pay the fees at the PEO on the day of the appointment.

RegardsI aim for these fees to come into effect in November, subject to Parliamentary timetabling.
My wife has her appointment booked in for November 8th. I too would like to think that by doing it on-line before October ends would enable us to beat the price increase.manutd666 wrote:It is at least 2 working days before the appointmentIt says a minimum of 2 working days, which means it is possible to use this online method up to 2 working days before the appointment.Service SET (M)

Lets wait and see cos i really doubt its happening so soon.gazza1990 wrote:If the prices were to change on say, 01/11/2010, they should really make the effort to have an updated form on the site by 26/10/2010 (I have checked today, there isn't one)
Thanks for your sharing.All the best.manutd666 wrote:Just for an update.
I decided to go ahead and use the online application form .I made the payment today, it’s pretty straightforward really, after the form is filled in and all the sections are checked you will be directed to the UKBA website to upload the form ( don’t forget to save it before you do so, to make sure you’re uploading the right form), then you go through the payment screen and finally you can download the final official version of the form ( so it will be saved on your PC, in case you don’t have a printer connected and want to print the form elsewhere).
My wife’s appointment is this Monday 01 November 2010, I just followed the instruction ( 2 working days before the appointment : Thursday + Friday). Now if they decide to put the price up then I believe the worst case scenario will be to pay the difference.
I will keep you updated obviously
