Sorry to hear all your BRP cards did not arrive in the post. You do not need to push the panic button yet. Call HO Sheffield, and let them know immediately. They may tell you to wait for the 10 days before you call back. Whatever their response is, will determine your next line of action. Kind regards

Am not sure which names usually appear on UKBA acknowlegement letters. As the letter is only what it is, "an acknowlegement", I don't believe making reference to dependants proves anything. For your peace of mind (regarding your employer), the main applicant can write to UKBA to clarify th...
Just as being stated here by successful applicants at Solihull, payments are always advised after approval decisions have been made. Don't see your case as any different.
Hi pied-piper, I dont quite understand why you need the following documents: 1) Cover letter - since this is an in-person appointment 2) Letter from employer - since you are applying in Tier-1 general category, I do not think this is needed 3) Absence sheet - there is space in the application form ...
