Crossing my fingers that I receive it by early next week. I submitted my biometrics on Feb 14. So it looks like UKBA is taking about 4 weeks. BT...

franklin, that's great you got your BRP. Hope you get your passport soon. Do you, the applicant, have to sign for the BRP letter? Or can someone else sign for you. The thing is that during the day, when most couriers arrive, I am at work (hence the need for a Tier 2) so it seems illogical to be send...

No, I haven't received my BRP yet. Odd, as my passport letter was dated March 13 and I received it by Royal Mail on March 15th. I do hope I receive it early next week. Odd thing also was that I emailed DX Courier on March 15th and they replied I had a package coming. I thought DX was used to ship BR...

franklin, do you get your passport and documents yet? I received nothing yet.

does anyone know how passports are re-delivered to you? I understand that BRP are sent through courier. Are passports sent through regular royal mail, ie. no signature required? Or is it sent faster than regular mail?

No, not yet. This is incredibly frustrating! Thoughts of my application collecting dust behind a case agent's desk where it had fallen is starting to dominate my mind. Or someone pilfering my mailbox. This tortuous waiting is starting to make me paranoid :)

Based on the timelines I've seen posted here and in my personal experience. the BRP permission letter will be dated between 2-3 weeks after the Application Acknowledgement letter date. I received each letter about 3-4 days after the date of each letter.
