Hello, hope you are all well. I like to discuss a question that has made many people anxious and hope the communication will be helpful.
Firstly, I want to thank all those who contribute to the thread
general-uk-immigration-forum/alternate- ... l#p2149645
and similar ones. I found the posts really informative. Thank you.
In early February, I enrolled my biometrics for BRP (ILR) renewal (my current BRP card expires very soon this month), and of course submitted all the documents and got confirmation of the submission of the documents and biometrics on the same day. Since then, it has been more than eight weeks now. But I have not received any update from the UKVI.
I knew many received their approval emails and the renewed BRP cards within 6-8 weeks. But such information seems up till last month. I have two questions.
1. Can you kindly share your recent experience about BRP renewal, especially the timeline? I am wondering whether it is a general trend that it takes longer to process in the recent months.
2. I surely knew the official policy is that the BRP renewal can take up to 6 months. It will be fine if this can really be done (of course we knew the exceptional individual cases) by 6 months. We simply wait. But my concern is: As it seems an overlapping period of transitioning to e-visa system, I am worried that the UKVI may (hope not though) "neglect" the BRP renewals and leave our applicants to the next year to use e-visa all the way. Then it will cause huge inconvenience as we could not travel at all for many months!
It will be appreciated if you can share your recent experience. I really like to know if some friends have received their renewed BRP cards recently.
Many thanks.
