Are you applying from an NTL?

I have received the biometrics letter and I have enrolled my biometrics but am still waiting for my passport. They have had it for about 5/6 weeks now. Thanks people! I am not sure it they send back the do...

Ask your accountant to write an official letter for you to the HO. It might take some time for the HO to reply that's the only problem!

I would advise anyone to use the premium service, it's very expensive but worth all the worry!

Hi I would strongly urge anyone wanting a BRP card to go in person to the HO, it's expensive but worth every penny. The process can take up to 6 months! If you apply by post you will receive the biometrics invitation letter approx. a month after your application was submitted. You then have 15 days ...

Hi
Ask your employer to write a letter to the HO on your behalf, give them all your personal details. I would imagine that a company would have more weight than an individual.
Good luck!

Hi
I have applied for a BRP card and have now received my biometrics enrolment letter, which arrived on 21st April. Does anyone know when the HO are likely to return my passports? It states in the NTL guidance notes that it should be around 20 working days.
Thanks.

Hi No, I only became aware of new rule re BRP when new employer flagged up that my indefinite leave is now not acceptable as not in current passport. Thought no prob, I'll just go out of country to have stamp carried over to current passport (which has happened with each new passport I have obtaine...

Hi Thanks for response. It was on my second day of work with new employer that I was told I couldn't return to work until I had reference number in support of my application - neither they - or me, had any idea the process would take this long and after reading all the nightmare stories on differen...

Thanks for response - it's a new job, new employer - which has brought whole issue about. As regards contacting HO, would you be able to provide a relevant contact number for me/employer as all the 'helpline's have been of no help whatsoever - quoting they cannot comment on individual cases and nee...

Thanks for reply. Yes a new employer. I was asked to leave after one day of work. I have resided in UK for over 45 years and worked for nearly 30 of those years. I have a NI number etc etc. It's because my indefinite leave is not in my current passport so I had to apply for NTL BRP. I am desperate ...

Hello any news yet?

When I had to replace my daughters BRP a couple of years ago, it took about 5 months from date of applying to receiving the correct BRP (HO sent the wrong visa category with the first BRP they sent). We had to cancel a holiday to our home country due to this. I believe there is a same day service f...
