NTL - BRP CARD APPLICATION

[Wesli445]

Good afternoon to you all.

Please, I will like advice on what action or which direction I should take. I submitted an application for my indefinite leave to be transferred from my expired passport to the BRP card (September 2019).

Once I submitted the application and made payment online - I received links to book an appointment for my Biometrics and the one for the document checklist.

Document Checklist - stated that I will receive a decision within 8 weeks of submitting my application. Today is exactly 8 weeks that I have submitted the application but I have not received any email or letter from UKVI.

Please help!

It is a generic statement of 8 weeks that all applicants get. Note also that it likely starts counting from your biometric and document submission date.

NTL to BRP can take up to 6 months.

I’m in he same boat, I submitted application back in Sept. assuming it takes 8 weeks, it’s now way over n only realise it could take 6 months, I have to travel in Feb. What can I do?

Naturalisation?

Can’t afford naturalisation now but def something to think about in the future. I still need to travel in feb. Even if I apply for naturalisation now not sure will I get it in time for feb. Also it needs two things to prove my English. I can do the life in UK test but don’t have any degree or anything else. Plus do I still need to show my ILR? I’ve misplaced that passport so I have nothing to show that right now.
