BRP (RC)

Hi All,

I have a question: a friend of mine change his name due to marriage and he is in the UK on Tier 1 General and was issued a BRP card.

Now, he is confused. Should he both inform the UKBA using change of circumstances form and then apply for a replacement BRP or applying just for BRP replacement is enough?

And what is the application fee for BRP(RC) form? I could not find it.

Thank you all

See change of circumstances (click)

thank you but I saw this link and could not find my answer.

It said that we should inform them and then apply for a new BRP. So we should do both?

Moreover, I did not find the application fee.

Dear All

Any idea how long it takes to get replacement BRP using BRP(RC) form.

I recently noticed that the Place of birth is misspelled on my BRP card. I am well beyond 10 day limit and would end up paying for the renewal. The place of birth in my passport is correct. I have not updated any information in my passport.

As my situation is not changed, I am confused that this issue does not fall in change in situation category. Due to the incompetency of UKBA staff this situation has arise. Anyway I have to get this rectified.

I am not sure what to select while filling in the replacement form. There is no section in the form which is for rectifying issue with place of birth. Section 2 - Applicant’s Details is the only place where one enter place of birth. Can you please help me out. My ILR is due in December.

This is my story. Any one with advice, suggestions or information that can help me, I am asking you to please come forth.

JULY 2013: Received BRP with misspelt name, 3 Months after being granted FLR. Solicitor acting on my behalf immediately wrote to the H.O asking for a replacement BRP card.

SEPTEMBER 2013: Home office responded that they needed confirmation of spelling. Solicitor sent back my old BRP with my Birth Certificate to confirm spelling.

October 2013: Solicitor was told that they would be issuing my BRP but was given no timescale. I also rang them personally and was told that they spelling of my name was confirmed.

November 2013: I rang them personally again, and was told to wait & that my case is being dealt with.

December 2013: Was told that my solicitor didnt send birth certificate and old BRP till recently, however this was disputed by my solicitor who gave me recorded delivery reference trracking number. They said that my old BRP was destroyed and that my new one is being sent to be in January.

January 2014: Rang today was told that my case is yet to be looked into and no new BRP was sent out for me , this contradicts what I was told two weeks ago. My number was taken and I was told that a case worker will call me today, which I know is a lie because theyve taken my number on more than 7 occasions and I've yet to receive any call from them.

I've contacted my local MP and will be visiting my local UKBA branch soon.
This has caused me destitution and a remarkable loss of job opportunities and I would like to take action against UKBA in near future. Any advice? My advice to you all is ring after two weeks to see if there has been any progression on your file..record ukba

Is it really necessary for you to put your same post into so many other threads?? You should start your own topic/thread and wait for response/help.

Sorry if I am annoying anyone by reposting my thread. I am extremely stressed out. A 6 MONTH wait for a biometric replacement has taken its toll on me.
