Same-day Premium Service

Same-day Premium Service is offered at the Home Office facility in Croydon, South London.

1st 4Immigration is authorised to submit clients' visa applications using this service. The slots (appointments) we use are separate from the ones offerred to the general public, our cases are submitted to a separate Team who deals with cases from representatives.

Same-day service (now is more next-day service) is available to those clients who are already in the UK and applying to extend their stay or to switch to another visa category.

We can submit the following visa applications every week but need to give the Home Office details of an individual client in advance. The categories below are biometric and require every applicant and dependants to accompany us on the day of submission (to provide fingerprints):

  • Indefinite Leave to Remain (Settlement) for those holding a Work Permit, HSMP including under Judicial Review, Spouse visa, Tier 1 or 2, Ancestral visa. Categories, such as Long Residence 10 years or Humanitarian Protection or European law applications can only be submitted using a postal service (we can still assist).
