Applying in person

[sjidh]

Hi,

My visa expiring on 24th Oct 2011.
I wish to get direct appointment at Home Office Croydon.
Can I send my dependent for the appointment on behalf of me like normally we send the solicitors?

Thanks

In normal situations, no.

Applications on behalf of other people
The public enquiry offices are for personal applicants only. However, in exceptional circumstances you can make an application on behalf of someone else if you are their husband, wife, sister, brother, parent or legal guardian. You must carry a letter of authorisation signed by the applicant.

Can you please send me the reference from the UKBA website?

Thanks a lot!

Google applying in person at a public enquiry office.

Here's another useful tip. If someone cites quoted text from an official source but has not provided a link (as I have done), you can drag>select the whole text (or part of it) and then right-click>search google for........ This will generally offer up links to where that text is located.
