No, I applied in the beginning of April (submitted biometrics beginning of May). APAD confirmation came a week ago, and I received my card today.
Hello,Sgun wrote: ↑Sun Aug 22, 2021 10:22 amHi,
I finally received the email from Apad yesterday confirming that my application to transfer from a BRC issued under EU regulations to one under EUSS was successful. Here is my timeline:
Granted pre-settled status: December 2020
Online application for BRC exchange: 24.05.2021
Biometric submitted: 28.05.2021
Apad email application successful: 21.08.2021
Existing card expiry: April 2024
Card received: Not yet. Based on Apad's email, it should arrive within 7 to 10 working days.
So, it took almost 3 months from the application date to receive a decision.
Good luck everyone.

I received my settle status in March 2021. Got my BRC replaced to Settle Status 2 weeks ago. I have already sent my old BRC to home office. Do I now need to send my new BRC by post as well to be updated in the system or just updated it online.
Many Thanks
Call TNT from today tomorrow and Thursdayfa86 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 24, 2021 9:31 amHello,Sgun wrote: ↑Sun Aug 22, 2021 10:22 amHi,

have you received your tracking #?
i got my decesion on 21.8.2021 as well. but cannot tracking my card.
What a waste! I have been trying to reach TNT for last 2 days but no luck, waiting on the phone over and over again for an hour, no one answers. Tried online chat a few times that doesn't work either.Ballackmo wrote: ↑Fri Aug 20, 2021 8:58 pmCall TNTimbik wrote: ↑Fri Aug 20, 2021 6:05 pmCan anyone tell me what happens if we miss the delivery of the new Residence Card, please?
We all applied/gave biometrics on the same day and received the new cards for me and son today but I do not know where is the other one (for my daughter). Moreover, we first received her confirmation email (10 days ago) but still no card for her.
How to make sure if it hasn't arrived at my address or if we missed it does it return back to Bristol?
Thanks

I have received confirmation e-Mail from APAD, so I hope that new BRC will arrive soon. My process lasted just over 4 months from submission date until confirmation e-Mail, and just over 3 months from biometrics appointment until confirmation e-Mail.
However, thank you very much and wish you all the best!!
Have you settle status or pre settle ??Soso12 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 25, 2021 11:44 amHiSlim_Shady wrote: ↑Wed Aug 25, 2021 11:01 amGood afternoon guys, I hope that everyone is well.

I have the consignment number ( I contacted to APAD yesterday) but TNT track&trace cannot find it, which is weird because APAD says it was dispatched 12 days ago. By the way, I applied for 3 cards at the same time and other 2 cards were dropped through my letterbox together, not handed over.
Just want to post an update here. I managed to come back to the UK with just the digital status last Sunday. I travelled from Santander airport from Spain to Stansted. The check-in staff at Ryanair seemed to be aware of the EU settlement scheme. They asked to see the status and luckily I printed out the online page and they were fine with it.kamoe wrote: ↑Fri Jul 16, 2021 2:52 pmI don't know what to say, only that this does not seem to fit with what other members have reported here. See this post. And this post. And this one. All cases of people stuck abroad because they attempted to come back on electronic status only.Ololo bo wrote: ↑Fri Jul 16, 2021 10:48 amBoth my Solicitor and the UKVI told me that I will be able to re-enter the UK with the digital status and the solicitor told me to also print out the decision letter. (...) And finally, I called Ryanair and after an hour of waiting it was answered and they said I will be able to use the digital status to board the UK bound flight. After spending hours calling ( average waiting time for UKVI and EU resolution centre is 30 mins) as well as money for consulting solicitor I suppose I now finally have some assurances.
I understand there is a big chance of not being allowed to board a UK-bound plane from abroad if you do not show a physical document. Electronic status only is not accepted, not is any form of email printout you attempt to supply.
I do wish what Ryanair told you is going to be honoured... but I would not bank on it. It took you hours on the phone to get an answer? How long do you think it is going to take at the airport? Ryanair being Ryanair chances are the person you spoke with on the phone will never speak to the person who will be making the decision to allow you in the plane. A least not as quickly as you need them to when you are about to board the plane.
Be careful.
The border police was a bit confused, she was acting tough at first but I explained my situation and as soon as she scanned the passport she was like "oh yeah, the computer says yes and you can go now". 
Though we almost couldn't board the plane due to our covid test didn't have date of birth on it but luckily we found the correct version sent to our emails just in time. So yeah a lot of issues these days. 
I sent a complain via the home office website and hopefully can get an update.Are you non EU family member or EU citizen?

Yes , it takes 2 week or 3Slim_Shady wrote: ↑Fri Sep 03, 2021 12:07 amHello guys, I hope that you are well.
One quick question, after receiving new BRC, I have submitted a request for details update on GOV.UK
How long does it take to receive an e-Mail that new details have been updated?
Can I travel with my new card, even if I do not receive confirmation e-Mail that my new details have been updated?
Thanks in advance and best of luck!!
