I changed my pbs tier 4 dependent to spouse visa on 21/03/13. With much difficulty I booked a peo appointment for ilr on 02/04/13 hoping my brp will arrive in 2-3 days. I'm so dissapointed my brp didn't arrive yet, I need to apply before 05/04 otherwise I have to wait another 2 years. Cannot post it because of travel plans with kids for my home country after 5 years.

Call DX on 0844 371 0000 and ask if they have anything waiting for you, There is no post until Tuesday now (except sat post), I'm not sure if the courier delivers on a Saturday?

Thank you very much for ur quick reply. I should have asked about it here earlier rather than waiting for post. I think they r closed tomorrow and dont know about saturday.

Just spoke to DX and they say they have nothing in my name, I find it very strange why HO didn't send my brp yet.

Yes I have already emailed UKBA but they are closed until 01/04.

Can I go to my appointment without the brp. I have the letter which they say my brp will arrive in couple of days and I'll be eligible to ilr after 2 years (standard letter). My appointment is for same HO (Sheffield), they should have my brp and details about me in their system.

If you have not received your BRP before 05/04,you could go for your appointment with the Letter. Explain to the CW that you haven't received your BRP.

Thank you for your reply. My appointment is for 02/04 can I attend it with the letter because there is no appointments for 4th or 5th.

After my spouse visa was granted I had a little discussion with CW about my eligibility to ILR now at first she said no(tier 4 dependent not route to settlement) but when I told her about the rules she spoke to her senior case worker and told me yes I can apply for ilr before 5th of April if that what you want. She told me I'll not get an appointment before 05/04 and anyway you will need to wait until your BRP arrive.

When the CW has told you to attend after you receive your BRP,why do you want to attend before 05/04. Is it because of increased Visa Fees or you think the rules may change after 06/04.

It is because of the new rules after 06/04 my stay as Pbs tier 4 dependent will not count towards Ilr where as now I'll be eligible for ILR. So after 06/04 I need to complete 2 years in spouse visa. I just want to get over with everything.

If you have made the appointment with the PEO you could go with the letter for your appointment. Only issue is,if they take the Visa Fees before your Case is decided!!
