Correction to BRP - Advice required

Hi all,

I'll give you some background. I applied for in-person T2-ICT extension at Croydon office in April. Luckily the application got through and I recieved the BRP 1 week after that.

As per my CoS, the extension is until April 2012, but on the BRP it was incorrect (MORE ACTUALLY) as Jan 2013. But as per my employers advise, I reported this to the home office via letter to avoid any problems for future extension.

Home office took 4 weeks to respond to my letter saying that it was their mistake and we will have to send the cards back to them so that they can issue the corrected cards. The letter however doesnt mention in how many days we need to send them the cards.

Now the twist it, in the meantime, we have booked for our 2 weeks India trip on 23rd June. So if we send them the cards now, there is no guarantee that we will get the cards on time.

Now my options are -
1. Travel on current cards (with incorrect LTR expiry date) and send the correct cards on coming back -- Is this a safe options?
2. Send the cards asap and wait for them to send the corrected cards. Now this is a gamble, not sure how long they will take and we may have to cancel our trip

. Any idea on how long they will take to send the cards? As my case is already investigated and only cards need to be reprinted, will it be before my flight?

Thanks a lot for your help. Am really confused!!!

Thanks,
Tan

I had a similar problem, my valid until date was printed as may 2011 which should be may 2013. I have posted back to Bristol address got my corrected card back in less than 5 working days (posted on 20may2011 received on 25th may 2011). So even if you post it now you should get in a weeks time.
But its up to you. I think you can send it back later as well not sure.

Thanks a lot Sandy,

I am now in favour of to send the cards back to Croydon office and only travel on the corrected cards. Thats the safest way out.

Really appreciate your help.
Regards.

Better to contact them first, when I phoned they said they can issue replacement card in 2 weeks time and in my case I got it in 5 days time.

Yes,

I just contacted them and they said its not advisable to travel on incorrect cards. So I have finalised on sending it to them before travel.

However, they refused to give any kind of time line when they will send it back.

Fingers crossed and hoping for the best results.
