    hi fountainhead!

    with regards to booking of appointment, its still too early if you book now, its better to book for an appointment 2 weeks before your scheduled/estimated date of submission, same as what i did.

    You can visit http://www.vfs-uk-ph.com/Appointment...ppWelcome.aspx
    here you can only book at highlighted dates

    Good Luck to your application soon!

    What is the exact error that you're getting PAT? The way I entered my name during my online appointment booking is I typed it in capital letters. Good thing I only have one first name so it's easy to type. For instance, if the name is JUAN MANUEL DELACRUZ then write it as is. Put JUAN MANUEL in the GIVEN NAMES(S) text box and DELACRUZ in the SURNAME text box How many times did you try?

    I tried more than 5 times already, and yes, it is all caps, I also tried to insert my middle name in full and in initial but still didnt work.I do not know what to do now....I pay visa fee yesterday noon time.Do you think it is the possible cause?

    I don't think it has something to do with when you paid your visa fee. From what I can recall, marylen also encountered the same problem during her online appointment booking and she eventually managed to have a successful transaction.

    I went to the website and made an entry and it went through without any error. Can you try closing all your browsers and start again. Let's see what happens.

    Sorry to hear that. I don't know how I'll be able to help you make your online appointment booking successful. It's really weird coz I did not encounter that problem during my appointment scheduling and even now when I tried to book an appointment. Don't lose hope. Maybe tomorrow it will be okay already.

    If you want to book a date that is not highlighted in the website, why not try to call the UKVACS call center and ask them if your preferred date is available. As what islander said, if you do it online you can only select from the dates highlighted.
