BRP return address - urgent advice please?

[917700]

Hi

I submitted my online application form on 25th Aug 2020. I initially expect the process time will take around 6 months. Because I will move home in the future months, so I put my solicitor's office address as the BRP return address.

However, the application proceed so quickly, I got bio appointment today 4pm (07 Sep 2020). Currently, the solicitor is replying me extremely slow and she didn't confirm if their office can accept post or not.

I am just wondering can I change address at my Bio appointment? If you submit the Change address request on UKVI website, is that too late now?

Many thanks

If you want to change the correspondence address, the best approach would be to write a cover letter and submit along your documents. Also, use the UKVI update service address.

Note, since you are applying through a solicitor I am not sure if you can do that without the solicitor’s consent.
The solicitor is acting on your behalf and address change should be dealt through him/her or with solicitor’s consent.

I didn't put the solicitor's information in the application form, because she was very slow and I can't wait for her to verify the email address.

But I forgot to change the address at the next application form page.

If you have access to the registered email address, write a cover letter declaring the correct correspondence address and upload with documents BEFORE your appointment. Also use the UKVI address change online service.

Note, possibly your solicitor will not be happy about it and may deteriorate your relationship with him/her. Also, I do not know your agreement with your solicitor so act as you feel best.

If you are only concerned about BRP then keep in mind that most courier providers can rearrange its delivery into different nominated address such as home address/work address. Better to instruct the TNT beforehand.

Yes, I used my personal email to register the account and I can access it.

Thanks for your advice and I have followed your instruction to update UKVI.

I paid a fixed fee to the solicitor for drafting a covering letter. But I understand this is not really needed now.

Hi Seagul

Thanks for letting me know this. Does TNT normally send text message or email before they are going to deliver?

My address is a little bit difficult to find, that's would be very helpful if I can write a Delivery instruction via their tracking link

They may not sent any email but UKVI BRP despatch department might do this. They may also offer the facility to collect your card from their depot in person likewise the DX courier in past.
