No, but you might benefit from a course on English comprehension, as you clearly can't understand the otherwise clear information that is being imparted in this thread. I, and everyone else who is British, will have to pay for a new passport after 10 years, but we won't have to pay, or qualify, for a naturalization application. You can use that analogy for your ILR.Hucer2212 wrote:Like you said, after 10 years I would have to apply for another ILR and pay another 2000 pounds?
The confusion is simply because UKBA are using a generic letter. The suppose ILR approval letter states this in bold letters on page 2Hucer2212 wrote:@Gagan:Gagan1986 wrote:You just need to renew your biometric card every 10 years then like we renew everything else. Renew does not mean new application.
Thanks for the straight answer
Your BRP card was issued on the 'issue' date. You can safely use this date to count your 1 year requirement. Prior to this, you were not on ILR.Scanner wrote:I am a bit confused. When am I actually due to apply for naturalisation after I receive my ILR? I know it is minimum of 1 year after I get my ILR.
I applied on the 02/05/2012. On my biometric card it says place and date of issue was 23/10/2012. However the card says valid until 02/05/2022 (exactly 10 years from the day I sent in my application NOT 10 years from the issue date).
So my question is does the one year start counting from 02/05/2012 or from 23/10/2012?
Thank you sir/mam for your brilliant answer, so what happens if i lose my Bio-metric card and it gets re -issued with a new date? will the BRP card still have the expiry date of 02/05/2022?wpilr_nov12 wrote:Your BRP card was issued on the 'issue' date.

Your BRP card will have expiry date of 10 years from date of application, not date of approval. This is to limit the usefulness of photo to 10 years from the date they receive it. If BRP card was to expire on the 10 anniversary of your ILR approval, then your photo would have been more than 10 yrs by then.
You can try to find out.. and share with us.Scanner wrote:Thank you sir/mam for your brilliant answer, so what happens if i lose my Bio-metric card and it gets re -issued with a new date? will the BRP card still have the expiry date of 02/05/2022?
I thought the picture used on the BRP Card was the digital version submitted along with biometrics??? Which is usually 2 months after the application date (with the current waiting timeswpilr_nov12 wrote:This is to limit the usefulness of photo to 10 years from the date they receive it.
WRT your query, see if you qualify under paragraph 7.5gfor naturalisation 15 months from your ILR application date.Scanner wrote:So my question is does the one year start counting from 02/05/2012 or from 23/10/2012?
Yes. that's true. The photo on your BRP is the one thats taken as part of your biometrics.Damanisshallo wrote:I thought the picture used on the BRP Card was the digital version submitted along with biometrics???wpilr_nov12 wrote:This is to limit the usefulness of photo to 10 years from the date they receive it.
