Dear all,

I have a question regarding booking BRP appointment.

My current visa is expiring on 20th August 2022.

Made my ILR application and paid on 31st July 2022(today).

Struggling to get a suitable BRP slot before 20th August.

Therefore, checking to see if I can book one beyond the 20th(expiry of the current visa)?

Thank you

The most important part is making the ILR application on time. You can do the biometrics when you get a slot. Even after BRP expiration is fine.

As you have submitted application already before expiry of current leave you are covered and if biometrics appointment is subsequently after expiry, not a problem.

Thank you very much for the replies. I managed to get a BRP appointment on 26th of August. So, it's 6 days after the expiry. Hope that will be ok.

As your application is lodged before the expiry date, the protections under section 3C apply. There is no issue at all
