Hi all,
Long story short...........desperately need to get a PEO appointment for my Tier 1 extension and cant afford to send via post as i have to cancel loads of business travel plans and cannot do that as i will wind up broke!
So if anyone has got hold of a SUPER PREMIUM SERVICE booking where they visit you for the biometrics, please PM me and I would be interested in sharing the massive GBP 6000 cost if you can let me piggyback your appointment since upto 4 people are allowed to apply per SUPER PREMIUM.
Or and i need the appointment to be before the 6th of October 2012.
Cheers
Maggy

Hi all,
Just to let you know that i had a stroke of luck today and managed to get an appointment through First Immigration. Cost me 750 quid but hey what else could i do!
Just to let you guys out there know be careful.........even when going through a solicitor, because i asked a solicitor to book it for me about a month back as i couldnt get an appointment after a month of staying up until midnight! And they guaranteed a slot from their allocation. Well i called them yesterday and they started by saying how difficult it was and its not sure and all that and the alarm bells went off........so i have been trying every one i could find on Google and yell.com until i found some luck with First Migration and they were much helpful than the other lot who were iffy with what they were saying and it was all maybe this maybe that...............some of the firms out there are milking the situation (dont blame them really..........in a way!) but some of them are downright stupid and naive by promising stuff they cant deliver and waiting on it for weeks without informing me.
To be honest i would have been truly screwed if i hadnt called them last week as i dont think there was any plan to inform me that they couldnt get an appointment........idiots!

Is £750 just for booking or they will prepare your case and will represent you in PEO? As far as I am concern, there is no Slot reserved for any company. It was the case long time ago. now a days company will have to apply for their client individually.

theres 3 options i was given:
1- fill out the application myself and they check it and get the PEO appointment: 750
2- above + they fill it out for 1000
3- above plus someones theres to hold my hand during the appointment 1250
But main thing for me was, i was desperate for an appointment and even called UKBA for a Super premium service appointment and the earliest available one was on Oct 23rd! and they asked me to call back every day at 9am for cancellations etc. So i am glad i got this appointment as my application is more or less straightforward........so fingers crossed now it all goes well
