Hi mfasil.
SAme letter as you man....please see
http://www.immigrationboards.com/genera ... 68174.html there is another adress
BRPOATECH@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk. I will try it.
I agree with you. I have an experience of studying and working in Canada and Germany and never faced such incredible level of bureaucracy and inadecvacy of immigration process. It's a shame for the country to treat immigrants in such a way. I have the same problem with letting a flat, and really don't know where I'm going to live, because hotels require BRP too. All I have is the lovely approval letter saying its "not an evidence of permission to enter or stay in Uk".
I was today at Post Office and there is no sign of my BRP yet. I'm getting really desperate. Tried to call Home Office on 0300 123 2241, reached a human being on button 3, but it was only for applicants from inside UK. They passed me to button 2, which is paid (1.37 pounds per minutes). I paid 12 pounds and all I get is that they will "escalate" my issue, not checking anything in database or provide me with a number of responsible team.
Please update if you get the BRP or any related news. Hope we will survive this and better not on the street. Cheers
