Stage 2 confusion

Stage 2
1

Hello everyone,

I’ve received my endorsement and completed the Stage 2 application. I’ve already paid the IHS and visa fee.

Now I’m at the final step where I need to book an appointment with VFS to submit biometrics, but I keep getting the message: “No appointment slots available.”

I have a few questions and would really appreciate guidance from anyone who’s been through this:

  1. Is it possible to book a VFS appointment in a different country, or must it be done in my country of residence?
  2. If no slots are available, should I just keep waiting and checking, or is there another way to request an appointment?
  3. Is there anything else I should do at this stage to avoid delays or issues with my application?

Thanks in advance for any advice or shared experiences.

Are you sure there isn’t a control on the web page to allow you to search later date ranges? IIRC, it was a little hard to find. I saw the “no slots available” message at first, but then found a slot about a month out.

Hi @Derek , Yes i checked, there is noting to schedule.

@Dev Try booking with priority if that option appears and you want earlier dates. If not, choose the next available standard date by searching the calendar further or keep checking regularly as new slots are released unpredictably due to cancellations or reschedules.

All the best.
