Re: Proving the status

Could everyone who has first-hand experience of this issue please go right now and report it to the 3million ? It's the only organisation with some influence and leverage to hold the Home Office accountable. But for this, they urgently need first-hand accounts. Do get in touch with them and provide ...

Re: Updating BRC after settled status

I have settled status since 2020. I received my new card BRC. Given that the new card is issued to show your new status... Well, it already shows your status. No need to link it to anything. Linking only makes sense for documents that were issued outside of the EU Settlement Scheme (EEA cards or pa...

Re: Pre- settled status / right to reside

I'm sorry but the question remain the same . You are asking two completely different questions here: 1. Is Pre-settled status the same as right to reside. 2. Is some eligible for child benefits when they have Pre-Settled Status. Therefore, no, the question does not remain the same. In fact, it is s...

Re: Settled Status in 2 Days!!!! (NON - EU)

Biometrics are only required when you apply for a physical card. Settled and pre settled status are digital and don't require additional biometrics themselves. Now, if you do want a new card to show for your status, then yes, you probably need to do biometrics but having a card is not mandatory (it'...

1. You don't need to send her current BRP to get the new one. You can just apply for the new one, and if you want, destroy the old one after the new one arrives. But no one is going to invalidate the old one or come after you if you don't destroy it. I was in this situation and for months I had two ...

It does say that for most people "the process will be entirely digital", then that eVisas will be issued.
Everyone does get an eVisa, which is all they will need for work purposes. It's just some people also get a BRP for travel purposes.
Yes, not saying otherwise. :)

Re: Are graduate visas exclusively eVisas ?

True, it doesn't actually say no BRP, but it implies it. It does say that for most people "the process will be entirely digital", then that eVisas will be issued. Easily misinterpreted, specially since that's how the EU Settlement Scheme works.

Once again, thanks for clarifying.

For the vast majority of applicants, the process will be entirely digital, and if your application is successful, you will be issued with an eVisa. To be fair, it did not change.
