Just looking to see if anyone else has similar dates to me and if they've received their documents and/or BRP card yet. I had no idea they'd hold on to my passport for this whole process, nor did I realise it could take months (no mention of that until you get the biometrics letter!) I've been contracting under my own company but have recently been offered a permanent role, so I now need the BRP.
Type: BRP NTL (transfer ILR visa from a Canadian passport to BRP card)
Application sent: 02/02/2016
Application received: ?
Acknowledgement: None!
Biometrics letter received: 19/02/2016
Biometrics taken: 20/02/2016
No acknowledgement was received after the biometrics were taken/sent. We're due to fly at the end of May and I'm panicking. I'm now torn between cancelling the application or waiting it out and keeping my fingers crossed. It's been so stressful. I've been living here for 16 years now and got ILR in 2004. It's awful that they restrict your ability to travel, despite already having ILR.
