Making an appointment
To make an appointment you must first complete an application
form which you can either get online or from our customer
services reception at Bayard Place. You must then pay your fee
at the cash office in Bayard Place, and obtain a receipt (please be
aware of the cash office opening times).
You must then contact us on 01733 863766 or 453571 (you may
use the free internal telephones at Bayard Place for this) and make
an appointment for an officer to inspect the house where the
sponsored person will live when they arrive in Peterborough. You
are advised to make the appointment as soon as possible, at
least 28 days before the anticipated visa application date to the
relevant embassy, consulate or high commission.
You should bear in mind that the inspection may take place up to
two weeks after the appointment is made. You should also allow time
to carry out any remedial works identified before the property
could be considered satisfactory. After the inspection has been
carried out a written report of the assessment will be sent to you
within 10 days of the visit. This will make sure that there will be
no delay in dealing with the visa application because you have not
submitted the documents relating to the residence. We do not take
responsibility for any late or incomplete applications made.
