Premium Service

Post by tigran_k » Mon May 07, 2012 10:19 pm

Hey All,
I am planning to apply for Tier 1 extension after 2 months.
I tried to book an appointment for premium service in UKBA web site, however from July 1 till December whatever date and whatever city i choose(Liverpool,Croydon,etc), it says there is no available date.

Anyone has an idea what i am doing wrong, or really all is booked for next 6-9 months??

2nd question - Is there any offices in London which act on behalf of UKBA and provide premium service? If yes, then any information about the prices(is it too high than the UKBA standard price) and if anybody has good experience with any office please let me know their contacts.

Many thanks in advance

I faced same issue yesterday. My impression was that premium service is unavailable.

But have you managed to book it since then, tigran_k?

I booked mine on May 8th. And another member in the forum booked his Yesterday. So the system works. Check at midnight.

Carioca,
Still now i am not able to make an appoointment, tried on UKBA site(even midnight, even 5 am :) ) no chance, trying to call and make appointment or clarify whether all are booked already - nobody answers... so it is pretty annoying already.

Did you book for Tier 1 or some other visa? What city? And what time were you lucky to get the appointment(i tried 12 am, 5 am,) several times, no luck yet

Hi,

I am trying to book an appointment for Tier2 ICT premium service. Just thought of asking you by seeing your feedback, if you were sucessufull in booking the premium service appointment? I am facing the same issue as you with the UKBA websit.

Thanks,
