Dual nationality Tier 4 holder

Post by Talatea » Tue Nov 10, 2015 7:26 pm

Hi,
I have a dual nationality and am currently on a student visa on one of them for the UK.
My other passport is American, and as an American I can enter the UK without a visa.
I'm currently out of the UK and don't have my BRP for my UK visa with me, and was wondering if entering the UK on my US passport would be illegal or cause problems if I already have a residency on my other passport?
Thank you.

Thank you.
Would mean you be granted entry as a visitor.

If you have declared both your nationalities in your Tier 4 application, HO will have a record of this and will know. Be mindful that entry as a 'visitor' can in effect override your student status.

Is there anyone who can send the BRP to you? Do you not have a copy or pic of it with you?
