Waiting for ILR for more than three months

[Mrs Ahmed]

I applied for ILR in jan 2019 under category set(M) using new sopra steria service (standard) still i am waiting for my brp my question is can i travel ? What if i travel before receiving my brp? Actually i need to travel due to my personal reasons and can i upgrade my application at this level?

If your application has not been decided yet then you cannot travel as this will cause your application to be withdrawn.

There is no system to upgrade to a faster processing time anymore.

The standard time is 6 months. You should just be patient and wait. You can contact your MP if you want but majority times MP’s get a standard reply that your application is in process.

Standard service is 6 months. Also, the automated emails have no relevance on your decision what so ever. Its just a system error sometimes it does not push through emails. You are unnecessarily stressing yourself. Best to wait patiently.

Thanks for your reply but does anyone know how would homeoffice know if someone travel before visa approval or without brp? Because in new system they don’t take your passport

Unless you plan to walk out of the country without going through border checks and come back the same way then yes they won’t know..

Advance passenger information. API! Ur carrier is legally obliged to inform HO.
Besides it’s stated in guidances if you travel ur application will be deemed withdrawn.

Also you fill a landing card which stays in their record.
