i assume stamp has the logo and the name of the bank so no worries. it would be fine.

thanks all for your replies. before closing this topic i want to add my last comment. noone should ever travel without brp in hand even though some UKBA staff would tell you its possible (this is true story). Well, my story is a long story but I did travel back to the UK without my BRP but its total...

Finally! Take a deep breath! I got mine on the 24th as well. )

the safest option is not to travel in this circumstances i assume.
im going to the airport now will talk to the flight company and the people at the security check. if they tell me they wont let me in with this letter i wont be traveling. thanks for your answers.

tier 1 case-worker told me that i can travel. the urgent issue is the conference and thats the reason i wrote them so they approved my visa this fast. and it does not say that you cannot travel on the letter, it does say you are not advised to make any travel arrangements before receiving brp. so sh...

HO approved my visa and sent me the confirmation letter and my passport back. And I am planning to travel tomorrow and I already told them that I will be traveling (actually thats the reason my visa was approved this quickly) and they said its ok for you to travel without your BRP since its an urgen...

hey

I received invitation letter today dated 22nd of Feb. I dont know why it took so long to send that. I went to the post office today and gave my biometrics.

thanks alot! I hope the others will receive it around this week as well.

thanks arsenal for your support!

but im not gonna change any information, is it ok to use change of circumstances form for this reason?
btw already the local MP sent them a letter asking the process of my application.

i hope the application is not refused. i assume i would have heard earlier if my application was refused? i will do that tomorrow thanks for the tip. the thing is i donno what to do and i wrote here and everyone told me to wait, well there is not that much to do really. my acknowledgement letter too...

Well i called again, no chance. i dialled the number for existing application, but still the person told me that they dont deal with such enquiries. my only concern is that if the letter lost in the post, and if i didnt receive it for any reason, whats gonna happen since we have to provide biometric...

when you make it in person, it takes 1-2 days but in order to have an in person application, you have to have an appointment. generally appointment dates are very full, you need to book in at least a month earlier. by post, it takes 6 weeks to 3 months sometimes. if you have enough time until your v...

is that possible for anyone to send me the telephone number to call for enquiries? i couldnt get any information from anyone through the number starts with 0870. Please!

You just need to use the one that you lastly entered the UK with if you are applying inside the UK (I am not sure how it works if you apply outside of the UK). I guess they are not all valid, so use the one which is currently valid. So try to find the one on your extension visa, if there is not any,...

Thanks Arsenal and Green,

This process literally testing my patience. Lets see what happens.

ohh sorry you are talking about 10 years continues residency for ILR.. So sorry.

i guess UKBA is having trouble with the applications at the moment as i understood from the website. maybe its due to the fact that most of graduates student visa was expiring around late Jan so everyone applied around this time or the new procedure (attending BRP session) made it difficult. http://...

it might be better to mention here, the time you spend in UK neither under student visa nor the PSW counts as "stay" in the UK to be eligible for ILR.

but its not only about my application i assume since all the applications done before the 9th of feb (biometric data is given) will be considered by the 9th of March.

try to order the statements through telephone banking, they arrive more quicker than ordering it through the branch. if you dont receive it a week before the expiry date of your visa, just print out your online statement and get stamp from the branch. dont worry, it should be alright.

Hi everyone, Today I am shocked by the information given on the website. Is this real? It has been 5 weeks that i applied and still didnt receive my BRP invitation letter and the ones who received it before than me even though they have applied after my application date will receive their visas befo...

well i searched on google. wrote my area + mp and found his website, called the office and talked to his secretary. they are reachable.

they sent me an email yesterday, telling me that they will write to UKBA and send a copy of the letter to my address.

thanks

thanks for the tip. i called the local MP and his PA asked me to send an email so they can contact UKBA, it seems they have done this earlier. Hopefully it will work out. Thanks again.
