Please keep us updated.
Will do.
Update
I travelled with my children on 14th Nov 2021 and there were no issues or questions asked.
I had my new looking ILR BRP for half the family, and the older T2G Dependant BRPs (still valid) for UK born children (who had the BC registration certificate) posted on MN1 while we were out of country for one month travel.
Notes:
1. Between the approval of BC (date on certificate) and the travel day there were 23-24 days in total.
2. I had soft copies ready for BC registration certificates with me in case I was asked, and had asked my friend to carry the original certificates when they would come to pick us up at airport (incase needed)
3. To check if the BRPs are still valid, I did this:
a. put an older BRP where ILR replaced the old BRP in work-rights check gov web service i.e.
https://www.gov.uk/prove-right-to-work
For where I had an ILR for one of my daughter (born out of UK), if I put older T2G BRP it showed that the older BRP is not valid. AS below:
Code: Select all
Your biometric residence card or permit is not valid
Your biometric residence card or permit has either:
expired
been reported lost or stolen
Make sure you use your current biometric residence card or permit number.
How to prove your rights
If you have applied to extend your stay in the UK or you are appealing an immigration decision, ask your employer to check your right to work with the Home Office.
b. then I entered the BRP details for those children who had T2G BRP and applied MN1 directly, The page didn't show an error like above and instead simply said that children dont need to prove right to work. Kinda, a positive sign.
4. the page to check BRP is provide right to work in gov.uk website. And not the one that is about proving immigration status. You could tell by looking at the screen when it asks for BRP number. The page shows
Code: Select all
Biometric residence card or permit number
For example, RE1234567
notice RE1234567 instead of something else on the prove immigration status page. Hope it explains.
Important: this is just to share my experience and not a professional advice.
Thanks and best of luck.
