my BRP finally arrived.


applied April 20th.
Passport arrived back sept 19th
BRP arrived today.

thank F-ing F*£&

best wishes to everyone, I think I'll drop out of this forum now.
or atleast till next year when I apply for naturalisation

got a letter back yesty saying my BRP hadn't arrived yet (after 15 days of receiving my passport) because they're busy lol and it should arrive in 3 - 5 more days lol.
I've now missed 2 business trips, an interview with a possible new client, 2 holidays and as of today a funeral.

been 2.5 weeks now I've been waiting for my BRP card to arrive, should have arrived a day or 2 after my passport, I've contacted the government they most likely forgot to print it.

now I've missed another pre paid flight and accomodation

dam, everyone seems to be getting there BRP card same day as passport, I've been waiting a week now so far for my BRP card
already missed one business trip because of this.

anyone else received their passport but still awaiting their BRP card

Hi all,

My passport arrived on the 19th.

any guesses of when my BRP will arrive?

whats the average wait been between passport arriving and BRP?

I need to book some flights for work asap and have already missed several due to the long wait I've had.

cheers

how long does it usually take for BRP to arrive after your passport and approval letter has been returned?

i got my set(O) on the 19th of september

I first sent off my application on April 20th.

now I'm just awaiting the Biometrics card thing

mine arrived!!!!!!!!!!!

arrived on Wednesday.

I don't have the BRP yet, so I need that, but I have the passport.

I applied April 20, SET(O)

hi Sits

when did you get your request to do Biometrics?

what date

apply for the exam now. apply for the appointment when you have 28 days remaining. sit the exam as soon as possible, this way if you fail you can sit it again, I left it to the last day, luckily I booked a few weeks before as you need to book a week or more out, if I had failed it I would have had t...

Anyone tried calling Home Office for status update after waiting for 6+ months? What would they tell you?

have you heard anything? did they send you the biometrics request?

if not you should be contacting them ASAP

I'm a (Set-O)
I also sent mine on 20th of april.

I done my Biometrics at post office on 29th of June and have not heard anything back since

and I'm very desperate I have so many flights booked for work but can't leave the country grrrr

I was hoping it would be a new passport sticker, now I've got an extra thing to worry about losing when traveling lol

can someone please explain BRP to me

when I get my passport back can I travel straight away?
or must I wait for my BRP?

hence then when ever I travel I need to show both a passport and BRP???

I'm a little confused

mattd0rg applied On 20/04/2012 (Fr) - 18 Weeks (biometrics Letter 28/06/2012)

I actually believe I'm a SET O and not a SET M

I can't remember the forms I had an agency do it for me, but I'm currently on Ancestry Visa

Hope this helps

when I get my passport back can I travel straight away or do I need to wait for the BRP to arrive separately ?

cheers

I did not contact my MP as I did not want to jump the queue.

well said, you sound British already

Apaiva life can't be that bad, no1 is forcing you to become a citizen, or if they are because you're escaping some bad company then surely it has to be worse than simply waiting for a passport

mine might take a while, as I had exactly 180 days of absence split across 2 passports with many faded stamps that and not all trips had return stamps as I'd get entry stamp to Ireland but not return entry stamp when returning back to London. also I had no P45s or P90s so I sent 5 years worth of ban...

could be worse ya could be me, I have many trips abroad soon for work but they're the least of my worries. I was over seas with work and getting very expensive dental work done in my spare time, but needed to come back for visa, was meant to do same day thing but found out i'd left it too late so ha...
