I posted last month in the citizenship forum but to summarise I am an American citizen born to a British mother (with an ILR stamp in an expired passport) and have lived and worked in the UK for 52 years. Last month I lost my job and found to my amazement I could no longer work in the UK without obtaining a BRP or using UKM for citizenship.
I'm still waiting for my police report to complete my UKM (better safe than sorry in case there's any little thing I did that I'd forgotten about in my early years), but then I was offered a new job. I started Monday and was sent home today when their HR belatedly caught on to the fact I needed a BRP....
I hope to find out tomorrow if they will keep the job open for me and if so it will only be for two weeks..
I see I can get an appointment at a premium service centre within that time frame.. What I can't find out is if my application is approved same day or next will my employer be able to phone and check with the home office that I have been approved or will I have to wait another week or 10 days until I receive my card?
If so I will probably lose the job
