Online appointment booking

Post by Bajwagr8 » Wed Mar 28, 2012 2:36 pm

Hi All,

I have been struggling with online appointment booking for ILR at Croydon. However, whenever I specify that I want to book appointment with dependant; it doesn't show me any available dates.

But, when I change that to NO dependant; then it shows me available bookings there.

Any suggestions, please?

Thanks,
Salman.

there are less appts for those applying with dependents, try a different PEO, keep trying Croydon until you get an appt, or apply by post.

no - the option of booking by phone is no longer available unless the online system is down. Even if it were available - they still have the same choice of appts available on the phone as they do online.

If you can't find an appt in Croydon you will have to apply by post.

Bajwagr8 the first thing you need to do is to get online and go for it at 00:00 (12am) in the morning(or night whatever you call it) and quickly look for it you will get it and the best days are Sunday nights, Monday nights and Wednesday nights. It is really a frustrating procedure but try your luck every minute between 12am till 1am as they release the appointments as or when........ Also look for it every hour during the day just keep it on and keep checking there is no harm on that but that is what I did to get the desired appointment. Please nore you can only book within 42 days appointment not more then that

Good luck

Thank you everyone for suggestions. I will try every night then.

Due to this biometric requirement, I have to take my wife and newborn baby as well. That's why Croydon is the only option.....

Hi Bajwa

Did you manage to book appointments for yourself + dependants by selecting the number of dependants from the drop down list or selected 'None'. As I also have the same issue when I select any other choice apart from 'None'.

Thanks

Hi Bala,

No. I didn't get appontment yet. I still have some time. I will try these suggestions next week. But I don't get any appointments when I select any dependant from the list.

Best of luck.
Salman.
