Councils Settlement Checking service - BRP? Keep or return?

[Ask2020]

Hey! Utterly confused. I entered the UK on 21 Dec 2013 as a spouse dep and would have been here 60 months this dec. looking to apply through the council checking service - settlements checking service and the Camden council appointment booking system suggests they will keep my current BRP? I.e my biometric residence permit and send with application so I won’t be able to travel in December. Is that correct? Thanks

Please do share your experience of the councils service and holding / forwarding of originals to ukba

If you read my response in the other topic you tagged onto, you will see why you cannot travel. If you have travel plans, you should apply in person at a premium service centre for a same day decision. It costs more though.

Leaving the UK while you have an application for a visa extension or ILR pending means your application will be treated as withdrawn and if your spouse visa has expired, you won't be able to re-enter the UK.
