ILR - Entered airport with BRP but biometrics not checked

Post by alxale » Mon Feb 03, 2020 1:12 pm

Hi All

Yesterday when arriving in Gatwick (back from a short trip to France),we presented our BRP with ILR but the IO did not check for biometrics (finger print) or ask any questions. Is this normal ? We were really tired so did not ask about it

Usually we were asked for the index finger scan with the BRP

In my passport there is a normal stamp (no conditions) but the number of the BRP is not written above it (usually they write it above)

Is it something to worry about ? We are from a non visa national country which does not need a visa to enter the UK as tourists. I have read about people being accidentally or mistakently admitted as visitors even when they do have ILR.

Thanks,
Alex

Nothing to worry. BRP checks are done majority of times but not 100% of the times.
