It is Indefinite leave to remain card, I am not sure if its the same as BRP, but when I was applying for naturalization, I was told that my ILR card is official until it expires at least?
I need help: if I have UK passport, can I still travel with my residence permit card (that is not expired) and my old passport outside of EU and coming back to UK? If I received UK passport is my residence card still official and legal to travel?
Thank you

Hi all, My wife is about to apply for ILR in the next few weeks. She done her biometrics two years ago and received the card then.
Does she have to do this again for ILR or will the one she received at the spouse visa stage be still valid?
