I would like to confirm (as I mentioned on another thread) that BRPs are still being issued to ‘non-visa’ nationals- those that otherwisd need a visa for a short stay tourist visit. I received mine a couple of days after I posed this question. I gather others who had a decision way before me I under...

Happy to inform that we've received a decision on my wife's application today; exactly 61 working days from the date of submission. I think the Home Office is internally working against a 12-week clock.

Congratulations!

Sounds strange that your employer spent thousands of pounds to sponsor someone from another country and then not even recoup that investment by giving you work? If you are not a medical practitioner it may not be as easy to be sponsored by the NHS. Best to expose the employer and perhaps complain to...

Type of application: Skilled Worker - dependent (standard) 2. If switching, category changing (switching) from: extension 3. Number of dependants applying at same time: 0 4.

The issuance of a BRP depends on your citizenship. If you're a national of a country that enjoys visa-free access to the UK (short-term/tourist visits), you'll not be issued with a BRP as it is redundant. Your immigration status within the UK has been digitalised. However, if you're from a country ...

Hi Everyone I recently switched from ICT visa to SW visa, in letter from home office, It was mentioned that for status I will need to view and prove immigration status online and No BRP card shall be issued. Does anybody have any issues in travel from India while returning back without BRP card? Re...

FYI: I am still awaiting for my BRP so probably there's some delay going on in getting it produced and delivered.

Did you contact them after 10 days as they say you should if not received in 10 days?

Definitely not from a visa-free country, so I will await BRP!

After a long wait I finally received my approval email for PBS dependent (spouse has ILR)- in country application. I used the immigration ID check app for biometrics submission (not physical appointment). The approval mail says I will receive a BRP. Further down it gives me a link to online immigrat...

Thanks for this tip. I used the Immigration ID check app and I am a little confused by the email received as it first says I will receive a BRP. Further down it says “ You can view and prove your immigration status online, via the ‘view and prove your immigration status’ service – https://www.gov.uk...

After a long and stressful wait, finally received a positive response today. Now need to hope the BRP will reach within the stipulated time so that I can fly out.

Yes, definitely no such reference in mine but since mine automatically said the application will be processed I guess the end result is the same whichever system email we got (seems there is more than one then). I too shall look into the formal complaint mechanism, however much or little good it may...

Yes, checked again and there was no reference to upload evidence, either on the Home Office mail, IHS confirmation, or in the screenshot of the IHS top up confirmation I took. It has a line saying ‘What happens next? : Your visa application will be processed’. Seems they are asking different things ...

The email asked to upload your evidence by logging in to your application, at least for my wife's application. Although that hasn't made any difference to getting a decision on her application, yet. That’s strange, mine didn’t request that, only mentioned that next steps would be that application w...

I did not get the option to do so, as it sent me an automatic email saying next steps are that the visa will be processed. However, let me check again

Nothing yet. On the assumption it takes 1 month after top up that would be December 1st. Had booked flight tickets on December 2nd (way back) but can no longer risk it so I’ll have to postpone or change.

I have seen this question posted before but not sure there is an answer. Such a ridiculous state of affairs at UKVI. You may be better off cancelling your original applications and reapplying with the correct fees (only do this if your leave to stay has not already expired). The money will be refund...

Well after long wait time.has come to say that have got my decision as I liked today evening. Best of luck to all awaiting decision, gold tight. That’s amazing. Seems like you got it just about a month after your IHS top up. Two more weeks to go for me (by that timeline) but of course anything can ...

So they look after 10 working day's which for me have crossed and has added another couple of week on top of it.

So just dragging on and on.

Have you received a positive response?

I don’t see why this should be a problem, or how it is any different to someone who is already on skilled worker visa in the UK bringing a dependent after a change in civil status several years down the line (which was the case for me). All you need is the relevent proofs. Timeline should not matter...

After 5.5 months I finally got my BRP. I got a successful email and a notification that my BRP will be delivered. For those of you still waiting please post any updates to keep the others in the loop. Time line Submission June 19 Biometrics meeting June 25 Decision Email 7 November BRP received 9 N...

Are you sure about this? In which case I assume this drags the total process by about a month.

How exactly did you reach the home office?

As there is no clear guidance on the Home Office site the incorrect IHS payments seem to be a relatively common issue. In my case on the last day of the 8 week SLA earlier this week I got a request for an IHS top up for the value of 6 months as I’d used the wrong date (although someone else on this ...

Thanks for the update. I received the same top up request yesterday (which is exactly the day of the 8 weeks SLA). Made top up payment within 30 mins. Hopefully doesn’t mean another 8 week wait…
