Even if the BRP expires, the status continues as the previous one till the decision is made.OhBoy wrote: ↑Sat Dec 22, 2018 1:08 pmHaving completed the appointment with Sopra Steria yesterday, we were told to expect to hear news/outcome within 24 hours. I’ve seen elsewhere on this forum that the 24 hours could likely be 24 working hours... presumably meaning 3 or 4 working days? So, now with the holidays intervening, could I reasonably expect to hear something before the new year - or would it be more realistic to be early January?..
I know this is a bit like, “how long is a piece of string”... but I’m hoping that some might have better insight as to how these things might work. As her BRP expires 2nd week of January - I’m wondering where we stand if things take longer than expected?
It’s just struck me that if her permit does expire, we have no proof that SET (M) has been applied for, and may be still pending...
Maybe something similar has happened to someone on here? Or maybe I’m worrying over something that hasn’t happened yet...
Also, you would have been sent an appointment confirmation email from sopra also(which I assume you have to take with you to the appointment). So dont worryOhBoy wrote: ↑Sat Dec 22, 2018 1:52 pmOh yes, of course - I had the email asking me to upload those copies again from Sopra... I hadn't put 2 and 2 together properly there.
I thought it odd about having to upload those two papers again - but might have been to do with my naming convention of the PP copy... I should have named it applicants pp, which I did when I uploaded them again.
Good to know that the status of the BRP remains as is even after expiry, until the decision is made on the new application... thanks for that clarification...
Thank you I thought you paid for the service as you said they let you know prior to your appointment.
If you actually search the forum, this has been answered 100s of times.OhBoy wrote: ↑Mon Dec 31, 2018 2:17 pmSET biometric residence permit just arrived now... which is great. But just noticed an expiration date - last day of 2024. No problem really, as all photo I.D’s need replacement every few years as we age...
But, a scoot around google reveals that many, many people over the last few years are having the same expiration date at the end of 2024. Wouldn’t this mean that they are going to be inundated with renewal requests during December 2024? Granted that ILR does not expire, just the BRP does. I’m just wondering why the duration of the BRP’s has not been standardised, like PP or driving licenses... Any idea why 2024 is currently “so many” people’s renewal date...
Not got a search facility... thanks for the answer thoughCR001 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 31, 2018 3:17 pmIf you actually search the forum, this has been answered 100s of times.
It is the date set by the EU for all biometric documents such as brp cards and passports to be updated with more enhanced security features. UK passports change design and features every fee years already.
