PEO - will they retain my current Tier 1 BRP?

[wf]

I am applying for ILR in the near future.

Will they retain my existing BRP at the appointment?

I am planning a trip soon after and my ILR BRP may not have reached me by then. I am thinking of using my Tier 1 BRP if that is possible, as it will still be valid when I return.

Thanks.

Once you are granted ILR your old BRP card will be retained by the Home Office and you have to wait for your new BRP before you can travel.
Hope this helps..

Thanks, thought that might be the case.
