Super Priority Service for BRP renewal

[AbulHasnain]

Dear Members

I am new so forigve me if this is not the relavent section for this topic.

My 10 years old daughter and her mother both got ILR. They are going to visit Pakistan in August. The flight is booked but when we looked at daughters BRP card it was expired (2018).

Now i have applied online for a renewal and paid the fee. Im also trying to get an appontnent for the UKVCAS centre.

Can someone confirm what happens at the appointment please? Do they keep the passports?
If they give us the passports back then daughter can travel to Pakistan without her BRP card?

Thanks in advance

The appointment is for document check and biometrics. They do not take the passport.

Your daughter is unlikely to be able to return without a valid BRP card, she won't be able to board the flight to come back. BRP renewals can take up to 6 months.

[AbulHasnain]

Thanks for your reply.

Six months is a long time to renew BRP.

Once my daughter is in Pakistan can i collect the BRP card and send it to her through post so that she can come back?

[CR001]

Brp is delivered by DX courier

[AbulHasnain]

Once the BRP has arrived i can post it to Pakistan so she can come back?

Up to you if you want risk posting it.

[CR001]

Any reason why the family or at least one parent and the child hasn't applied for citizenship?

Thanks for point that "risk" element involved in sending post to Pakistan. Postal services are not very reliable there.

Kindly tell me if the premium service for BRP renewals is available, fee and how long does it take?

[CR001]

Super priority is available for some applications and costs an extra £800.

No such reason but will definitely apply when they are back.

It will be risky in that sense too that if she wont be in UK then if authorities might need to see her (rarely happens) or ask for re-enrollment of biometrics then how can she come back without her BRP.

Thanks for the advice, now im not considering this option. It is risky.

Can you suggest anything please? What about BRP Visa? Can she get a BRP vis once she is in Pakistan?
And how long does it take?

Also remember that if the applicant leave the country then its equivalent to withdrawing the application. From abroad i dont think that they will renew the ILR. Preferably wait before travel because its your fault who didnt have planned well.

You are right ILR renewal from abroad is not possible but what about getting BRP Replacement Visa for single entry?

I have read that people who have lost their BRP card abroad can get this visa to re entre the UK. But i dont know if people with expired card can also apply for this visa?

Expired BRP card isn't a case of lost/stolen so i guess you wont be able to apply from abroad.

My daughter is due to visit Pakistan on 25 July 19 but her BRP card has been expired.

I have submitted renewal application on Sopra Steria UKVCAS website and trying to book an appointment.

There are three types of appointments available i.e. Core, Enhanced and Premium Lounge.

I need to know if this " Premium Lounge " service same as the super priority service?

If not then please inform how do i get super priority service to renew BRP card as i dont have enough time left to wait 6 months.

Thank you very much.

Hi

I am in a similar situation as yours, the only difference is I am going to travel India soon and my daughter has an expired BRP card. We have a valid ILR issued back in 2014. I am not sure if we travel to India will she be allowed to travel back to the UK or not hence asking about your experience and solution you found. Any help will be much appreciated?

Many Thanks
Suchita
