Biometrics Resident Permit-Fast track?

Post by Lauren1111 » Fri Sep 29, 2017 1:34 pm

Hi there,

I was wondering if anyone could help.

I am aware that there is a one day priority service for switching a fiancee visa to a 2.5 year spouse visa in the UK by visiting one of the priority centres. However, it seems like you still have to wait up to ten days for the Biometrics Resident Permit to arrive in the post. Is there any way of getting this on the day too so that we can travel the day after getting the visa? Or is there anyway of being able to travel outside of the UK without this?

Many thanks

No there is not. They are not produced at the premium service centres.

No, you are strongly advised to only travel once you have the card as how else will you board a plane and re-enter the UK? The card is the visa.
