BRP(RC) applications

[linbim]

Today I sent my BRP(RC) application because my BRP is damaged.

I included my BRP but not my passport because I'm applying for a like-for-like replacement without any changes of personal details. That's what I assumed from the Section 3 of the form where it says passport might not be required.

Can someone confirm that this is ok, that I did not send my passport as well?

I read that too and intend to do same..please have you heard anything from them yet?

Guys - I need your urgent assistance if possible please:

I have changed my name by deed poll and to comply with informing UKBA within 3 months, I am filling the biometric replacement forms and I have some questions I want to clarify:

A4 - Applicants Full Name: What name should I use please? my old name or new name?

B2 - B3 Names as it appears in your passport: I am not going to change my passport because it has just 1 year to run. Change of name allows you to travel on your old passport. So now, what should I write here?

Section D: Have you used any name (s) other than the one given at A4 in section 1 of this application form in previous UK immigration applications made in the UK or aboard? is this YES or NO? I don't even understand what this is asking.

Thanks,

Sirrichie

Guys

Brilliant treasure of information in this thread - however I keep noticing that one thing is missing.. THE TIMELINE TO GET THE SINGLE-ENTRY VISA FoR OUT-OF-UK SITUATIONS.

I am in Mumbai, due too fly back in 4 days and I've lost my visa. I applied online for a replacement BRP visa 4 days back nd gave the biometrics today. I knew this ws bad news but I thought only financially! Now it looks like I will miss the flight as well? this might mmess up my career as my employers alredy had trouble with my visa (their fault that time) nd now again I might not resume work and have to overshoot my holiday.

Can anyone please tell me how long it takes to get the "replacement BRP visa" and not the actual BRP? I mean the single entry visa with which I can go to UK and then go through what seems to be another nightmare? Any chance of getting it in two days or am I dreaming?

As I've been using this board to estimate BRP(RC) processing times (since the wonderful UKBA doesn't provide any information!) I thought I would add to it by giving my timeline:

Mailed BRP(RC) - 15.02.2014
Received acknowledgment letter - 21.02.2014
Received biometrics enrollment invitation - 27.02.2014
Registered biometrics - 28.02.2014
Passport returned - 19.03.2014
BRP received - 21.03.2014

5 weeks start to finish.

Also, I was given this phone number for the Home Office: 0300 123 2241. I tried calling several times to check on the status of my application and no one ever answered, but I thought I would pass it along just in case anyone else has more luck with it than I did! Good luck everyone

If you have immediate travel plan, i recommend not to apply for BRP because mine took about 3 months.

Mailed BRP(RC) - 30.12.2013
Received biometrics enrollment invitation - 16.01.2014
Registered biometrics - 20.01.2014
BRP received - 01.04.2014
Passport returned - 02.04.2014

Good luck

20th Jun BRP anc Docs are back

[sues1]

Hi,

I have a question. My purse was stolen when i was in China and my BRP was in it. I returned to UK the next day and was lucky to be permitted back in the country. The BRP form stated that I have to make a police report but when I called the police, they said I cannot make a report through them as I lost the item overseas. What do I do in this case since the form asked for a police reference number?

Thank you,
Sue

Hi All,

Did you report the loss to the police?

I went to the police station to report the loss, I was told that they no longer accept report for loss of Biometric Card as such they are not able to issue a police report of a crime ref.

Any advice?

Regards,

Lost BRP + Indian Passport in Rome.

Applied for UK replacement visa from VFS Rome and got short validity passport from Indian High Commission. After coming to the UK , I applied for replacement BRP immediately. My time lines are as follows-

Application posted - 12/11/2014
Amount debited - 14/11/2014
Acknowledgement letter - 20/11/2014
Biometrics letter -09/12/2014 (dated 03/12/2014)
Biometrics registered - 10/12/2014
Passport returned -23/12/2014
BRP - should arrive within 7 days

I would suggest to involve MP sooner in the process .This would definitely help in tracking UKBA's progress.

My BRP was stolen during a burglary at my home. I applied on form BRP (RC), payment was taken on 17/3/15 and I have submitted biometrics today 23/3/15, after receiving the biometrics letter this morning.

As the BRP was issued less than two years ago and I was applying for a straight like-for-like replacement, I did not need to submit my passport with the application (which was lucky, because my passport was also stolen). I was a bit horrified to receive the acknowledgement letter from the Home Office saying it might take six months to process my application. I have international travel booked for May - the booking was made before the BRP was stolen. Does anyone know if I will I be able to travel if the BRP doesn't arrive before then? I'll have my passport, and can take the acknowledgement letters from the Home Office, the first one acknowledging cancellation of my stolen BRP and the second one indicating that my application is being processed.

[anniecc]

Is anyone else still waiting on an application for BRP replacement cards? I'd really like to get a sense of the current timeframes.
