BRP for ILR

[wsc]

Hi All,
First time and first post here. We are in the process to apply for ILR and since I have booked premium service in Cardiff and paid the fee (phew... a lot money for three of us), so am I right to assume that when filling in the SET(O) form, I don't need to fill in the Payment section?
Another stupid question is that since we have BRP which will be due October this year, after the interview:
(1) What happen to my BRP card? Will they issue a new BRP card?
(2) Will they charge for BRP card?

I saw some information on the internet that if we change the status then they can put a stamp on the card and it costs about £800 per person, which means will drain out another £2.4K from my pocket.
I appreciate if anyone can shed some lights.

Thank you!

No, leae this blank.

Another stupid question is that since we have BRP which will be due October this year, after the interview: What do you mean 'due in October;??
(1) What happen to my BRP card? Will they issue a new BRP card? HO keep your existing BRP (if you have one) and you get a new one within 2 weeks of your ILR appointment and approval

(2) Will they charge for BRP card? No

I saw some information on the internet that if we change the status then they can put a stamp on the card and it costs about £800 per person, which means will drain out another £2.4K from my pocket. What do mean 'change status' and 'stamp on card'? Where on the internet, provide the link?
I appreciate if anyone can shed some lights.

Thank you!

Thank you CR001,

I suppose I am on Tier 2 General visa to work here, and then have transferred to ILR, then I am transferring condition? Or I got it wrong?

Another stupid question, most of my friend, if not all, told me now to apply for settlement, I will need to pay NHS fee. But I am on Tier 2 General visa here, so I am not affected? Am I right on it?

Thank you

You are not 'transferring a condition' to ILR. You are APPLYING for ILR which is an application on its own. Transferring applies to those who have a vignette in their passport and transfer the 'visa vignette' to a new passport etc. Ignore this link, not relevant to you.

Another stupid question, most of my friend, if not all, told me now to apply for settlement, I will need to pay NHS fee. But I am on Tier 2 General visa here, so I am not affected? Am I right on it? IHS fee is NOT payable for ILR. Suggest not listening to poor/incorrect advice from your 'friends at the pub/work' etc.

Thank you

Or you could advise them to join the Board where they may learn a thing or two
