Then you're in the wrong forum! Moving thread from Europe immigration forum...

how you mean im in the wrong forum

Your post should be in Indefinite Leave to Remain forum or perhaps the General UK Immigration forum.

It was in the Europe immigration forum, which wasn't appropriate as this concerns Europe Immigration, excluding the UK and Ireland.

Anyway, don't worry, because I've moved it for you.

Travel with both passports - one with the ILR stamp and the current one (new). No problem!

If you apply by post, we cannot tell in advance how long it will take to decide your application, so you should not make non-urgent travel plans until we have returned your passport to you.

But if you do wish to transfer the visa to your new passport, use NTL form and apply in-person at a Public Enquiry Office.

An Immigration Status Document (ISD - vignette on separate paper) may prove a problem when applying for visa to travel to other countries as some countries require that the UK residency permit / visa be affixed in the applicant's passport.
