Good news, my daughter's BRP arrived.

Application mid to late September 2017.
Home Office email with Case ID was sent October 2nd 2017.
New BRP card arrived 15th December 2017 (followed by other docs the next day).

So about 3 months in all. This is a month's improvement on my other kids' applications earlier this year. One still outstanding.
Hi redstrat,

Can I confirm that you have ILR status in the UK? The service level for BRP(RC) for someone with ILR can be up to 6 months and this is worrying me because my daughter has a school trip in early July. I submitted her BRP(RC) application in early Jan so it'll be close.

Thanks.

Yes, as confirmed by admin my family has ILR. Since my last post, my son's renewal card and paperwork arrived (12th Jan I think). So his renewal in total took about 3 months. So that's two of my kids now whose renewals were processed in about 3 months so if they keep this up you should be fine by July. Good luck!

Hi everyone,

My wife lost her ILR BRP in the UK.

Application was received 6th February
Payment taken on the 7th February

She still hasn’t received her enrolement letter and we are due to be travelling to Thailand on the 6th April. If the card doesn’t come in time will she be able to apply for a BRP Visa whilst outside of the U.K., even though she lost the card in the U.K.? I have heard mixed messages and would just like some clarity on where she stands.

Many thanks

Hi,

Please can anyone offer me some advice?

I lost my BRP and Convention Travel Document at same time.
Didn't realise until about a month later..
Went to local police station to report loss and get ref number but they said they don't do this anymore.

I paid online and then sent form off on Feb 20th explaining loss.
Since then I have had no acknowledgment and have no idea of processing times either.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Many thanks
Lai

hi, im also in the same boat of stolen BRP, Im on Tier 2 general visa and lost my BRP last week Im still on process of collecting docs for replacement although I have notified HO about it. My questions are:
1. when filling up the form for RC BRP, should it be as exact as the first application? i am in UK for only 2 years and there is a part there that I should provide address outside UK if i lived in UK for less than 5 years, I am from Philippines but I also worked in middle east before coming in UK. i cannot remember if I put middle east in my previous address, If i did i forgot the dates. will it be a problem if i just dont put it?
2. I have 2 passports as i renewed the other one, shall i send both of them? or the one i used to travel coming here? the old one will be expired on june 2018
Thanks for any reply🙂

Hi all
just wanted to post my timeline for my replacement BRP
I have Indefinite leave to remain
time line :
Sent postal application 14/04/18
money deducted from account 17/04/18
bio-metric letter received 27/04/18
bio-metrics given 28/04/18

I have not heard anything since , I was supposed to travel on 20/06/18 but this is looking more and more unlikely as time goes on.
I feel so vulnerable without any form of identification and I just don't understand why it should take up to 6 months. All I can do it wait and hopefully it arrives soon

Hi Canadianarcher,
Based on the previous few posters who have recieved their BRP, you should get yours in next 3 weeks? Bit risky.
And even then who knows.. they could just delay a ridiculous amount.
I understand the vulnerability you feel. I feel the same

Hi Fimirza, congratulations on getting your BRP!
Can I ask what the letter from your MP was regarding? And addressed to who?
Thank you
