Booking an appointment at visa application centre

[menchkin]

Hello,I need help again, I've been trying to book appointment to UKVACS but having trouble with this " please enter valid given name(s)".....I did many attempts and got the same error.I am so confused now, I made sure I spell it correctly as it is written in my passport.... please help me.... and thanks in advance.

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.

I closed everything, only the booking appointment was left and tried again but still no difference...

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.

Yey, that's good to know that you finally able to set an appointment online. Make sure you already have all the required docs before you go to UKVACS.
