The UK now has 7 Premium Service Centres throughout the country. These have always been in place, but recently had their names changed from Public Enquiry Office (PEO), to Premium Service Centre (PSC). The 7 offices are as follows:
Croydon Premium Service Centre
Liverpool Premium Service Centre
Solihull Premium Service Centre
Cardiff Premium Service Centre
Glasgow Premium Service Centre
Sheffield Premium Service Centre
Belfast Premium Service Centre
They all have different operating days and hours. The services available at each can vary. At the bottom there is a list of who can’t use the Premium service. Anyone who has a complex visa application or requires discretion will typically not be able to use it as the process is designed for straight forward immigration applications. If you need your visa processed quickly and can’t wait around for your application to be processed by mail contact WM Immigration for help with a Premium Service Centre application.
