I am planning to apply ILR for my wife as my dependant, myself having ILR already. My wife was already eligible for ILR in september 2020 and her current visa is valid for another 2 years. We initially thought that we can apply ILR using super priority service but when we tried to submit the application now, it is showing only standard service.
We have planned to move house in this December so our address will change.
If I now submit the ILR application with the current address that would take up to 6 months for decision, and we will have our address changed in December. In this scenario, can we opt for BRP collection instead of receiving by post?
Is it possible to collect BRP using standard service?
or Should I have to wait until Dec and then submit ILR application with new address?
Thanks in advance

That is entirely up to you when you want to apply. However, you can use the address update gov service to change the address. Note, its is not always efficient so best is to keep a contact at your old place (if possible).

You will get BRP via post only.

BRP is ONLY delivered to the address you put on your application by the secure post provider DX Delivery. You cannot collect it

If you are not in hurry due to any imminence over change of your circumstance, then may even apply when you will settle at new address.
