Help - confused re BRP
Posted: Mon Jan 14, 2019 5:29 pm
I have found some very useful information on this site but I remain confused. I am hoping someone will be able to help.
I received a Permanent Residence Card sticker in my passport in 2013 which expires in 2023 (Married to German citizen) however my passport (South African) has since expired - do I need to apply for a BRP card before I apply for citizenship? I know from this site that you can still apply with an expired passport but I am just confused with the whole BRP - is my sticker and the BRP one and the same? I can't remember if when I applied for the permanent res. card if I gave biometric details?
I have considered going to an immigration lawyer but they are quoting astronomical prices - so if anyone knows a firm in the Peterborough area and their fees are fair and reasonable that would also be helpful.
Thank you!
