I got my BRP card on 25th April and till now I'm waiting for my documents. Btw my BRP is dated as yours 21st April, however, you got your documents and I'm yet with nothing. I don't know what's taking Royal mail all this time to deliver my documents. Please if any one can advise me on how to sort this out, be my guest!!

Hay Beeth_ven;
When i got my BRP Card on the 25th April. I have contacted the UKBA for my documents on their ordinary unique number to ask about where is my documents. they provided me with a reference number of the recorded signed for second class mail via the royal mail. they said my documents were sent out on the 23rd April. I am still waiting and i booked my flight on Friday, i am really stressed now as i sent two emails to royal mail with the reference number of my mail but unfortunately no answer till now. I am too scared of missing my flight on Friday as i need my documents urgent and don't know how long will it take those royal mail to get it delivered.

Sorry to hear that your documents are getting delayed..usually it comes in within 10 working days from the day of dispatch...unfortunately the Royal Mail people dont reply on tracking these posts....but I guess it should come in soon, probably on Monday....I wanted to ask how were you able to contact the UKBA? Could you please tell me the number/email address that you used?

Lets hope that it is indeed the documents from UKBA and hopefully I get the BRP and passport soon...Thanks moirareggie, shribalaji, Usmantar, Raptorroz and everyone else who have been so supportive and have sent their best wishes...thanks guys!!...now lets sit tight and hope that these supposed packages do arrive on time!

@ Raptorroz: As you have to fly out on friday, I guess the documents should come in before that but you can always try and give a visit to your area's post office and give them the reference number...maybe they have some way to track it down on their internal system...I am not sure about it but just thought it might work.

Beeth_ven thanks for your nice words. I wish you the best on Monday with your BRP card. I will wait the postman on Monday and then I'll pop down the nearest post offices and try my luck there. :)

No one can say that buddy. But from our recent forum posts by others, i guess processing timeline it is taking approx 4 to 6 weeks after bio metrics given. So by the time of June 1st probably you will get it. Let's hope for the best.
