Applying for a BRC renewal (or even a new passport) won't interfere with your naturalisation application.
They are totally separate processes (and naturalisation isn't an immigration application).
Be aware though BRC application could take some time.
Great! Thank you πŸ™πŸ½

Re: Settled status application – unexpected evidence requested

Just wanted to give an update on my settled status application. I was granted settled status today, only 2 weeks and one day after submission (CoA dated 22 August 2022). No additional documents were asked although I did provide a copy of my latest council tax and joint bank statement two days after ...

Re: Settled status application – unexpected evidence requested

I have a similar timeline and immigration history. I applied and got Settled Status last year. Since to get Settled Status you need to prove you still live in the UK and that the relationship with your sponsor still exists up to that point, when I applied, I uploaded upfront and without waiting for...

I thought I'd report back: I just came back into the UK, and I am happy to report I had no issues whatsoever.
