Urgent Query - Life in the UK Gave passport ID number instead of BRP

Post by rubyracer2 » Sat May 01, 2021 2:18 am

Dear Gurus,

I have an urgent query and hope someone will be able to respond. When booking the LIUK test a month ago, I had selected the option to "Yes" as having a Biometric residence permit in the booking page.

The next field was the Document ID number , above which there was a link to acceptable forms of Photo ID. One of these was the passport. I then gave my passport number and expiry details.

My test is later today and I was double checking my identification and I realised that selecting "Yes" to the BRP question probably defaulted the document ID number to the BRP number which is different. The website is now not letting me edit the options either.

Will I be refused to sit in the test? Any advice will be highly appreciated. Attached below is a screenshot of the page

Take both BRP and passport. Should be okay. If asked, explain the centre. As long your name and date of birth matches your original documents, I believe you will be okay.

Thanks Cullinan for your quick reply. I'll take both documents and hope they accept it. The link to the acceptable forms of Document Id just above the number really fooled me and due to my carelessness I didnt check this page before the last day.

Fingers crossed they will accept the documents :oops:

Hi Cullinan as you predicted they have not flagged this issue and allowed me to sit for the test. they are mainly checking Date of Birth and Name and comparing photograph. Also I passed the test but no letter was provided, only a reference number in the email and the portal only shows "PASS". Hope this number is sufficient for applying for ILR.

Should I write a cover letter explaining this issue in case they decide to compare the records with my stored BRP number?

as always many thanks in advance for your help

No explanation needed.

No letter/certificate is provided now.

Input the LIUK ref number in the form. It is sufficient.

Does (TUPE) Employer need a sponsor license number to issue Employment Letter

Post by rubyracer2 » Fri May 14, 2021 1:21 am

Dear Gurus,

My company is undergoing reorganisation with employees being moved to a subsidary. This transfer is being done via TUPE and they have notified the Home Office through the SMS.

Meanwhile I have qualified for ILR and asked for an employer and absence letter. However they replied saying they are still waiting for the new sponsor license number.

Is the sponsor license number required for issuing the employer letter? I'm worried this will delay my application date. Would really appreciate some guidance. Thanks in advance

Yes. I suggest to wait until your new sponsor has their licence

Yes, because in order to employ you they need a sponsor licence.

Thanks Manci and Zimba for your inputs. I have scheduled a meeting with the immigration lawyer to discuss.
