Hi,
Did you receive any email from Home Office or DX when the BRP was finally dispatched?
Thanks!

Hi,
No, however, we missed the delivery, so the delivery guy dropped a note with a tracking number and instructions on how to rebook the delivery.
You can contact HO via https://www.gov.uk/biometric-residence- ... ot-arrived if your application is delayed beyond their stated timelines... and they would provide you with DX tracking number if it's at that stage, i.e. BRP ready and with DX courier folks.
Yeah they may not respond and moreover may not have any new update if you contact before 15 days.Linus2018 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 12, 2019 9:22 amYes thanks srsw.
I used that link a few days back and got a response explaining the requirement of NiNo on BRP and that I should expect to receive the BRP in the next 15 working days.
I am guessing they won't respond if I reach out before this 15 working days window.
15 working days is a long time- 3 weeks. Don't want to miss the courier if it is actually dispatched in this window.

don't wait for 15 days and keep chasing them by mails because based on priority they might send some escalations against the teams causing the delays within home office.
and alternatively you can contact local MP office by writing email and they can raise en-queries for you to Home office.
I am telling this based on my experience.
Thanks,
Lovaraju.
The delay was because my existing NINo had not been verified by the DWP (that's what they told me in their email).srsw wrote: ↑Tue Jan 08, 2019 4:51 pmIf you already have NiNo and mentioned it in the application then the delay maybe for other reasons. In our cases dependent (spouse) didn't have NiNo previously hence the delay.sg9325 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 08, 2019 3:35 pmI'm the main applicant and my BRP delivery has also been delayed due to NINo verification. I received my decision letter on 1 December 2018, have been waiting since then. Not sure how long its going to take! I had applied for the priority 10 day service which said my BRP will be with me within 7-10 working days.
Not sure whats causing the delay, since I submitted my existing NINo.
They tried to deliver on 2nd Jan, but we were out around that time.sg9325 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 08, 2019 3:35 pm

Glad you received your BRP, any idea when was it sent out for delivery by the HO? I received a response from them last week (4 working days ago) saying my BRP has been produced and will be dispatched for delivery within 3-5 working days. Not sure how long its going to take now.
Alright, also they misinformed me...my NINo is still pending for verification with the DWPsrsw wrote: ↑Tue Jan 15, 2019 1:38 pmThey tried to deliver on 2nd Jan, but we were out around that time.sg9325 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 08, 2019 3:35 pm

Date of issue on BRP was 27th Dec, so we received it within 5 working days of BRP being printed. I booked courier re-delivery when we came back on 4th evening (Friday), and they delivered on the next business day, i.e. 7th Jan (Monday).

I am as well facing similar problem and waiting for spouse BRP. Below is the timeline.
26th September - filed the extension application with Home Office
29th September - Completed biometrics
08th Nov - received approval letter
17th Nov - received my BRP
I raised request in Home office website on 15th Jan and waiting for reply. Has anyone received spouse BRP recently who applied for extension around the same date?
Hi there,ttnEgham wrote: ↑Tue Feb 12, 2019 10:50 pmHi guys,
Finally I got my BRP!!!
Application date: 28/11/2018
Biometrics taken: 04/12/2018
Approval date: 19/12/2018
1st complaint: 07/01/2019: reply got on 09/01/2019: delay due to general "technical issue", no timescale was given.
2nd complaint: 14/01/2019: reply got on 16/01/2019: delay now due to "NI confirmation with Department of Work and Pension". However, I was told to wait for another 15 working days since the reply.
Sending email to my local MP: 18/01/2019. Caseworker in MP helped me to write to the Home Office on 21/01/2019. The Home Office replied to the MP on 08/02/2019 as they can reply within 20 working days. Essentially their answer to the MP is they were doing their best and no timescale was given.
3rd complaint: 21/01/2019: reply got on 24/01/2019: same as above, but this time the Home Office didn't say any thing about timescale.
4th complaint: 01/02/2019: reply got on 05/01/2019: the Home Office said that they would escalate internally as 15 working days were over. On 06/01/2019, I got another reply from BRP NINO team to say they had contacted DWP re my NINO confirmation. I replied to this email and attached the confirmation letter received from HMRC (DWP) re my NINO confirmation (got it from my gov.uk account) with the hope it would facilitate the process.
I sent so many complaints as I have to move out of my current accommodation asap and travel outside UK soon.
Finally on 08/02/2019, the Home Office said they got confirmation from DWP and my BRP had been produced. I got it today, so after only 2 working days.
Lessons learnt:
- check what HMRC has re your NI details in their system: check your name (must be identical to your application) & your NI number in there. Sounds silly, but hey!
- get help from you MP.
- send complaints every week if you are so desparate! My 2nd complaint was only 1 week after the first one and my 15 working days began from when they replied to me the second time. Without doing that, perhaps I would still need to wait.
All the best ^^
