We have done our forms on line, but have not paid for them, 2 applications for visas only took me around about an hour, as we are going to visit London, after compleating the forms, we were directed to a screen to input the date we wanted to attend, you seem to be able to book upto approx 6 weeks in advance, we then received a pop up screen which told us our appointment was at 8.30am

will have to leave Brighton around 6.00am, have saved the forms on the computor as a file, and can access our information at any time with our reference numbers,.
BIGGEST PROBLEM, was finding post codes for two references in Goa,
We are going to London on 7th November, will post then and let people know how we got on.
If any one wants to ask me any questions please feel free.
