ILR Sticker on old passport to BRP

Post by JJUK » Mon May 06, 2019 7:31 am

Hi all

Thanks in advance for the guidance as always. I got my ILR in 2010 on my old passport. I am planning to change my job and found out I need to have a Biometrics card. I was filling my online form and noticed it could take 6months and passport has to be submitted along with this form.

Kindly suggest, if I can keep my passport with me whilst applying for biometrics card, like British nationality checks at the local council buildings.

Thanks
JJUK

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

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

Hi Zimba.. I will apply for citizenship and just wondering if ILR visa attached in my old passport is enough as a document or do I have to have a BRP card to apply for citizenship? Your thoughts on this is much appreciated. Thanks.
