New service: UKVCAS centres: same day appointment.

Post by nhqazi » Wed Nov 21, 2018 12:09 pm

Hi there

I had completed my ILR application and was waiting to get the online booking appointment for the same day service, however, till today I could get any slot as the online booking system kept showing that there is no appointment for next 45 days.
I came to know that From November 2018, Sopra Steria will be introducing a new service for customers in the UK applying to extend their stay or apply for citizenship. Additionally, UK VISA PREMIUM SERVICE CENTRES WILL CLOSE FROM 29 NOVEMBER 2018.
Now I am wondering how to get the same day service option. I have checked the new service option at Sopra Steria website, they offer the services like document checking and fingerprint etc. I am wondering how to get the same day service for my ILR application. How it will be booked after 29 Nov as I am still looking online booking system to get the appointment for the same day without any success.
I really appreciate your comments on it.
Regards
Nadeem

Thanks for the reply, However, I am still confused if one-day premium service is still available and if yes how can I book it. Additional can u also comment that all the premium service centers are closing by 29 Nov 2018.

The old system premium one day service ends and will be closed on 29th November. Please read the links of the new service and centres. There will no longer be a 'same day decision' process.
