Hi guys,
I'm seeking advise for a mate who has just been granted leave to remain as refugee. He received his BRP today. My questions are:

1. Can he travel to EU member countries with the BRP, without a national passport?

2. How does he go about applying for a CTD? he called a number supplied in the letter sent to him by the HO confirming his status, but couldn't get through to anyone, and had no success in making any sense of what next to do.

3. What documents doe he have to submit to make the application?

cheers, guys..looking forward to hearing from anyone.

cheers.

Just check your post 15 December 2013 is coming in next week that is why I have asked you which year? Secondly you can call them your self but you will be first listening some bad kind of music then after 26 minute some one can reply you if you have over 6 month waiting. other wise it will says your application in still in progress.
best wishes

Thank you all. This forum really helped me to view the progress of Travel Document Applications.
Date of application: 23 May 2013
Date of receipt by UKBA: 24 May 2013
Date of debit of fees: 24 May 2013
Date of receipt of acknowledgement: 27 May 2013
Date of receipt of travel document: 11 December 2013

Alrighty,
I have been looking at everyone posts since i applied for my TD. I generally wasn't confident to do it directly to HO and i asked my solicitor to do all the legal actions on my behalf.

Here its my timeline:

Date of application: 17th of July 2013
Date of receipt by UKBA: 19th of July 2013
Date of debit of fees: 19th of July 2013
Date of receipt of acknowledgement: 29th July 2013
Date of receipt of travel document: 9th December 2013

Although it took them 101 working days to issue my TD, i was also informed by my solicitor that he ended up sending them a letter to speed things up otherwise they need to answer what has took them so long to issue my TD in court.

It's not fair if they charge people instantly but all of sudden forget about their application.

There is no formality on how they process the TD's.

Long story short, It's been really great to see your posts here, it did calm me down.

Right I called home office today concerning about my TD which I have been waiting for over 7months now they said a parcel have been send to my solicitor on the 7th of December and its on second class delivery so fingers cross

rohei · Post by **rohei** » Sun Dec 15, 2013 1:14 am

Am confused because am getting different answers when I call home office about my TD
At first wen I called them a guy told me that a parcel has been sent to my solicitor on the 7th of December so I might receive it dis week or next week.
But after few days when I called them again they where telling me that my biometric is pending so they are yet to receive it from post office.
TD application 22nd April 2013
Acknowledgement 23rd April 2013
Biometric done 15th of November 2013
8 months now still waiting is sad

Congrats!
Did you do anything to speed up the process? I applied back in July and provided evidence of my illness and I'm still waiting! It was a renewal and I already have ILR

Enjoy your travel

Dear Guys
They are currently dealing with June Applications and mine was made on 12 June. I am really praying for my TD to come, as this time wait is just ridiculous. Please anyone who has applied in the month of June 2013 or forward, Keep the forum posted, as it really gives me patience and calmness.
Thankyou
