I just phoned UKBA and it they are now saying 75% are done within 14 weeks and 95% within 6 months for BRP(RC). Has anyone else heard this before?!!!??

in any case you don't need to have your appointment within 15 days, you just need to make sure you book it within 15 days (that actual appointment can be after that)

Has anyone tried contacting UKBA for an update - do you think there is actually a BRP(RC) casework team? I'm starting to doubt it

I did, but hardly any of them relate to BRP(RC) applications. Apparently the "Charged Leave Sheffield" workflow team deal with them - I have no idea who they are though!

As per the subject line, has anyone submitted biometrics before 23 Feb and still waiting for their documents back?

Thanks

Hi as per the subject line, anyone still waiting for their documents back where they gave biometrics before 23 Feb?

Thanks

Just out of interest, in the initial letter you got from UKBA acknowledging receipt of your application, did it say "Thank you for completing Form CRA" I was really confused to see this. I bet no one is dealing with the BRP(RC) applications at present and if so, they will be mixed with all...

I submitted a BRP(RC) application (change in surname) back in January and gave my biometrics on 23 Feb which is 5 weeks ago. This is why I'm concerned, I have no idea when I'll get the docs and the new permit back.

What happens if your Caseworker is on holiday. Will it only continue to progress once he/she returns or will it be allocated to someone else. Does anyone know?

So that I have some kind of idea when the Royal Mail Special Delivery tracking system may update

And what happens after 4 weeks? I think they are just ignored. I did my biometrics on 23 Feb and nothing back, clearly gone to the back of the queue

As we all probably know here, 75% of applications are aimed to be decided within 20 working days. Now what happens when 20 days are passed? Will your application be given less priority and more attention given to someone within 20 working days so that their 75% completion within 20 days doesn't fall...

But surely Royal Mail need to collect the special delivery envelopes which have the original documents

I mean specifically for BRP(RC) applications. Apart from us lot on this thread, no one else had raised any issues re BRP(RC) applications.

Are we the only ones waiting for BRP(RC) applications to be processed. Clearly no one else has had issues otherwise they would have posted here like us!!

I still don't have my docs back and it's been exactly 5 weeks since giving biometrics

Hi

Please can anyone here say if they submitted a BRP(RC) application recently and could they say how long after submitting biometrics did they get their document backs.

Many thanks

Hi

Does anyone know what time Royal Mail collect post from UKBA and what the last collection may be?

Thanks

Hi I'm surprised you haven't heard anything yet re submitting your biometrics: Here's my timeline so far: Date application posted: 18 Jan 12 Date Letter Received: 28 Jan 12 (dated 23 Jan 12) Date second letter recieved: 19 Feb 12 date when applied for biometrics: 23 Feb 12 (post office) date when ca...

Hi, yes Passport name is exactly the same as what I want on the BRP. How can it take more than 4 weeks (after submitting biometrics) to simply change surname. Nothing can even be done to speed the process.

Hi

Has anyone had their documents back yet after submitting biometrics? I did mine on 23 Feb and will nothing back, extremely worried, I am supposed to be on holiday next week abroad. I'm just praying every day that it comes this week, but I'm losing all hope.

Hi, has anyone had their documents back yet after submitting their BRP(RC) application. Its been almost 5 weeks since I did biometrics and got nothing back. I think they've forgotten about my application

Hi there. I submitted a BRP (Replacement Card) application on 19 Jan (to simply change surname to my married name). I gave biometrics on 23 Feb. It's now been over a month and I've had no documents returned and no contact from UKBA. I am extremely worried. Is this normal? Has anyone else submitted B...
