Question regarding admit status

[SWVinUK2022]

My son is on SWV dependant status and we came back from Rome this morning after a vacation. Anytime we come in, I watch intently if the Border police scans all the documents. This time I got distracted and not sure if my son’s BRP was scanned. He is a US citizen and will he have been accidentally admitted as a visitor?

I did request a stamp on son’s passport and the border police stamped and annotated it with BRP number.

Is it possible for him to have been admitted as a visitor accidentally? We still don’t have our UKVI online account and our BRPs expire on Dec 31, 2024 like most people even thought validity is until 2027.

Thanks!

I doubt a border official (or border system) can just change resident status to visitor status.
In any case son has the evidence in his passport, stamp and BRP#.
Don't think there's an issue.

I am surprised the Border Force stamped the passport, they normally won’t do it for people returning to the UK with a BRP.
The scans at the border are system checks to ensure validity for entry. The information does not go on to a readily accessible system as most people would imagine.
Your son has not had his entry status changed due to the stamp.

Thank you for the response. Appreciate it. I also read that people on BRP using e-gates and no BRPs are scanned there. So I guess we are okay!

I am Indian and always had my passport stamped and BRP number annotated. Regarding my son's passport, the border force has always stamped it by themselves or when I ask for it, they put the stamp. I have had to ask for it when we first entered in 2022 and most recently from our trip.

When you say my son has not had his entry changed - do you mean that it has not been changed to visitor? I am sorry if I didn't understand this sentence.

Thanks!

If the stamp is just an entry stamp, no issue.

A visitor entry stamp states the restrictions and looks different.

I think you are overthinking here.

Thanks for the reassurance. I wanted to understand if there was something I needed to follow up since I don't want my son (3 years old) to have issues when we finally apply for ILR.

The stamp like you said didn't have any additional details apart from the hand written BRP number.

There is nothing you need to do. What you have exprienced is normal, you are reading too much into a simple entry process
