You can travel and reenter the UK with ILR sticker if it is still valid.

UKVI does not keep the passports anymore. By using UKVCAS service centers, it will be scanned and you will keep your passport.

Hi Zumba, do you know could I travel while I am waiting the BRP? I have similar situations. Thanks

I applied BRP of ILE transfer to NTL two weeks ago. This is my first BRP, before that I only used ILE Visa in the expired passport and current passport leave and enter UK few times. My parents not well recently and I am hoping to go back to see them, but the worrying part is when I leave UK will the...

I attended an interview last Friday for BRP application. The staff checked and scanned my passport and upload some documents for me too. I went home and checked my UKVCAS account, I saw the document have uploaded by me and the staff. but I could’t Find any cue that my application have submitted or h...

I went to the appointment yesterday and I asked the staff in the center will they scan all the passport page if the person already has ILR for 20 years? He said they will only scan the current one. I have two passports (expired and current) since I have granted ILR. The staff only scan the ILR vigne...

You are NOT making an immigration application, you are simply applying for a BRP. :!: You should send the documents you have, explain your absences in a covering letter with proof if you can. You will be only refused a BRP if they cannot in any shape or form determine that you have settled status w...

Thanks for the responses. I do understand that the original NTL form asked for cancelled passports OR proof of residence to prove I've not been out of the country for more than two years (which is actually funny, as I've not been out for more than 2 WEEKS at a time over 20 years). The thing that's ...

This is the same NTL process done online. :!: Proof of residence will be requested if the UKVI cannot determine through other means whether you have been absent from the UK for more than 2 years or not. As the ILR status will be lost if absent for more than two years form the UK, you may be asked t...

Hello, I'm in a similar position only my ILR is even older - I've had it since 2003, but am only changing employers now. I am VERY confused about what I need for the application. To prove my continuous residence in the UK, the online form says I need both all of my cancelled passports (which I have...

After you summited the online application, there is a email sent with your name and the application type , reference number. Show to your employer, maybe he/she will accept it.

I have ILE/ILR ten years ago but never apply a BRP. Due to the rules have changed that ILE in expired passport does not meet the right of work requirements, I need to apply a BRP. When I fill the BRP applications online. It requires the proof of residency, I do have a problem with this.I lived abroa...

yes, we just applied online, made appointment and uploaded the documents. It is almost 8 weeks and still no response from Home office.

Thank you for the speed responded.

I think it takes up to 6 months, so maybe just need more patience.

Hi family member recently did the same as you in Jan. Passports and documents are all returned, in fact other than the passport which they scanned , they didn't even look at the other documents. She uploaded all documents at home before the appointment. Hi CateS , just want to make sure for those p...

We returned few years ago, like you , we were in and out of UK every two years. But we did apply for visa for returning resident before we returned to settle in UK. She is currently a student, so she uploaded her letter of attendance from school and also dentist's letter stating her attendance. Oth...

I am going to transfer my vignettes ILE visa to a BRP, I did some search before that I need to apply by No Time Limit. Last year December I searched HO website I still can find the NTL form, but seems it has changed to online applications only not postal? The link below doesn’t not mention anything ...

I'm in a similar situation, BRP card coming up for renewal but I haven't been in the UK much since it was issued due to work, basically coming back every 2 years to 'keep it active'. Although I consider it my main country of residence and maintain a presence there- I do intend to settle eventually....

No I don't have a confirmation letter however how quick can I get a reply to the HO from a different country, my flight is in 1 week. Thanks I just printed out the link below , highlighted No. 4 &6 that related ILE. Not asking Home office( don’t think they will respond anyway) https://www.gov.uk/go...

No I don't have a confirmation letter however how quick can I get a reply to the HO from a different country, my flight is in 1 week.

I used my old passport with ILE and the current passport many time. Enter UK is not a problem, but departure from my home country airport always been ask a lot question by airline staff. I did carry the print out from the home office website, high lighted the rule that ILE same as ILR. It won’t exp...

Can I have a direct answer to this please? Can I re-enter the Uk with my new passport as well as my expired one which has my ILE the Uk visa in it even though I was unable to transfer the conditions into my new passport before leaving the UK to visit my home country? I read that the visa is valid a...

Many thanks for the thoughtful response secret simon - it is greatly appreciated. I hadn't considered an SAR with the UKV&I - my only concern there is that her hearing is in ten days' time and the HO indicate you should get the results back within a month which doesn't look like it fits with curren...

And finally, if she had been let in under ILR (I suppose this could potentially be established by the SAR you mentioned, would I be correct in thinking that she would have a right to British Citizenship after five years of residency with no major absences (a criterion she would meet in 2020)? If it...
