Hi
We booked an appointment as part of my wife's application for tomorrow morning, I was wondering if we need to bring all the original paperwork to that appointment, few bills and bank statements are online, hence the question.

Should we print out the application as well? I'd appreciate any response. Thanks in advance.

We took all our original documents with us to the appointment but only passport & declaration form were checked & scanned again & non other documents were checked.
They check the documents online & if there’s no problem with them, they submit the documents to the HO.

Thanks for your response. Our concern was if we had to print out online documents i.e bank statements would they still accept it without a stamp since it's a copy and not original.

You can take the originals but it’s really not checked except there is a problem with the uploaded documents. Take your passport and brp, and the the docs, just in case

Hello again good people.
I thought I'd share our experience. My wife's super priority service appointment was booked for 7:30am today in croydon. When we got there &:20am, there were already about dozen people waiting and I thought it might take us a while but luckily my wife was done in about 15 minutes. She said she was asked for confirmation of the appointment (barcode) and nothing else then they proceeded to take a pic and finger prints. About 12pm the same (today) received email from case worker confirming that she's been granted settlement and confirmation letter and BRP would be delivered in due course. Thank you all very much for help, reassurances. Sharing is truly caring. Next stop naturalisation. See you all there.

Hello folks,
I apologise in advance if this was addressed before but quick search didn't give me anything hence the post. We received my wife's visa (Biometric Residence Permit) the expiry date on it is 31/12/2024 I thought this was supposed to be for 10 years instead of 5. Is this a mistake? We're in the process of applying for citizenship and if this is a mistake what should be done about this? I'd appreciate your input. Many thanks

As has been answered 100s of times on the forum, it is normal. The date on the brp is the date stated by the EU for all biometric documents to be updated with enhanced security features.
The date would be irrelevant anyway if applying for citizenship, which cancels ilr and the brp is returned to ho once a person has attended their citizenship ceremony.
