@fbiboy2002

Do we have to upload a copy of our passport? or just the consent form, prove of address and brc card

[Fbiboy2002]

Rose2019
The consent form upload it in case the home office realise that they don't need to send people emails asking them for consent to go ahead with application via email
What happened is after you done your application you will receive email few days later asking for consent to go with your application so I guess the home office doesn't know its included in our application in sopra steria they never asked for this paper
And yes you have to do it and sign it upload it and take it with you to your appointment..
You have to upload your valid passport
And proof of address like driving licence or bank statement
And your BRC
And take them all with you
My appointment was only 10 minutes as the system was down and the lady there did my checks manually from her computer so I don't know how long in normal circumstances...

@fbiboy2002

So at the appointment at sopra steria..my physical current valid passport and brc card...i do not send it to the home office...just the copies right?

[Rose2019]

The passport page where the data is have to be uploaded right?

[Rose2019]

@fbiboy2002

is it only the current valid passport we have to upload or we have to upload the old passports too?

[Rose2019]

@fbiboy2002

is it only the current valid passport we have to upload or we have to upload the old passports too?

[Fbiboy2002]

Rose2019
No you don't need to send anything to the home office
Upload only your current valid passport the information page
And proof of address
And your BRC plus the consent after you sign it
Take all the supporting documents with you to your sopra steria appointment they will rescan it and you will have them back with you

@fbiboy2002

I saw when looking at the address we have to send the brc card to be updated.

it just says

PO Box 2075, Liverpool L69 3PG

Do I write Home Office EU settlement on the envelope?

Also when you sent your card..did u put a return envelope or home office just sent it back with their own postage

@fbiboy2002

At sopra steria..did u have to do your biometrics yourself?

[Rose2019]

@fbiboy2002

Thank u, as you have been very helpful
when you scanned your documents to be uploader at sopra steria...was it colored?

also when you went to sopra steria..apart from original copies. Did you take any photocopies?

Finally an update on my card
I applied on 26th november 2019 to change my eu family memeber brc to settled status brc and got my card today!
Which is 13 jan 2020. It took them 48 days to make the change.
Now the point of concern for me is that can i travel on my card without updating my details by sending it to homeoffice as i am flying next week can i update the details after i come back to uk or is it compulsory to do it before i fly
@fbiboy can you please shed some light on it thankyou

[Mitchelle]

@rose the homeoffice sent my card through Dx i am saying this because i am pretty sure that will be the first question you going to ask so i answer it before you even ask. Thankyou

[Rose2019]

@michele

hahaha yes u read my mind...at least i know now DX courier sent your card. Have you been asked to send the old card to home office?

[Rose2019]

@michele

also at sopra steria...when u did ur biometrics..where u told to do it yourself or they helped?

[Mitchelle]

@ROSE no not yet probably this week sometime they will send me.the letter but i did recieve the card today amd i did my biometrics on 28 november 2019

[Mitchelle]

@ rose
You dont need to worry it very quick service mine was done in 5 minutes they do everything because when i went for appointmemt i uploaded my documents already so they just scanned my documents and i was free to go literally in 5 minutes no wait no nothing as they have 50 staff members in croydon office so mine was quick

[Mitchelle]

@rose
You dont need to worry there is nothing to be worried about just in case if your are rest assured lol hahaha

[Rose2019]

@mitchelle

I am going to sopra steria next week wednesday..my appointment is at 11am

the thing is if u travel without updating your card..what if you are coming back into the UK and they swipe your new card and it has issues?
I did call the eu settlement scheme and they did say the card is sent back to home office for verification...fbiboy2002 sent his card and he got it back in days

[Mitchelle]

Thats exactly my concern! But the again i have theletter from homeoffice to confirm that i have gotten my settled status. But lets see i am thinking to do it before i go

[Mitchelle]

But i am waiting on fbiboy to reply lets see what he says or else i have to call homeoffice to confirm its bloody confusing process
