Sorry RishShah1234 wrote:Sorry to know about your situation.
Your ILR, although is in old passport, but is still valid.
However, you can transfer your visa to your new passport (i.e. get a BRP created). Please follow the instructions in the link below:
https://www.gov.uk/transfer-visa
And read the following section when you open the link above, carefully:
You have permission to settle (‘indefinite leave to remain’)
You can transfer your visa to a BRP by applying for a ‘no time limit stamp’ (NTL).
Use the guidance and the NTL form to apply.
You then should either:
post your form with the fee (use the address on the form)
take your form when you apply in person at a premium service centre
Hope you find a job soon.
Regards,
Rish
Hi Denisedenise wrote:Hi,
My husband works through an agency, and they had him renew his passport. He did so, and now they wont let him return to work. It's been over 4 weeks since he was at work. We have no money coming in now either. After getting his new passport they said they need his visa in it (ILR) but obviously that isnt actually possible. So we have applied for BRP and are awaiting any kind of letter from them for the reference number so he can return to work.
It's a very stressful situation, and we cant hang on much longer. We have the added issue of all of my husband's forms of official ID are with the Home Office so I dont know if we can even claim anything.
I've searched high and low for timelines for BRP NTL applications and have proved unsuccessful so thought I would add ours here if you don't mind, maybe we can help others that way.
Are you aware that all you need is the reference number from HO to be able to go to work?
Good luck with your application/new job.

Thank you CasaCasa wrote:It may help both of you to contact your MP for help to resolve this. If they are willing to intervene with the Home Office on your behalf it can often move things along.
We have also tried to contact HO. We called but cant get through anywhere so we sent an email but who knows how long that will take for the reply.mollybird wrote: Spoke to someone at Home Office today and they told me they no longer send this letter out but I'll get a letter after 4-6 weeks to do my biometrics.
So yes I'm totally in a predicament and have no idea how to get out of it.
I called this number 0300 123 2241 and when it asked to press numbers I chose the option that said I've put an application in already. It will then ask you again if you are still in the timeframe of your application (I.e. 6 months for biometrics) I pressed the number 2 I think that said I'm passed the cut of time else they will just end your call. First time I got through immediately but part way through lost the call due to my bad signal and second time around I held on for a little while. She then also gave me a number for the agency to check and explained that they can use my passport number that there is no need to wait for the letter. Which I have them. Hopefully I'll hear back tomorrow.denise wrote:Mollybird can I ask what options you used on the phone to speak to someone please? Husband wants to give it a go. Thanks
That's exactly what I'm hoping to do. Fingers cross it's a better day.Casa wrote:Push the 'desire to work and not be a burden on the State'
Oh that is fab to hear! Hopefully he will get to speak to someone tomorrow aswell then and we can get the number. If they can do the checks with just the passport number he could be to work again soon. Fingers crossed for both you and him! They sure dont make these things easy do they? I thought after 10 years we were sorted until citizenship, then we found out about this new rule change in january.mollybird wrote: She then also gave me a number for the agency to check and explained that they can use my passport number that there is no need to wait for the letter.
