ILR online application made, waiting for premium service biometric appoinment - can I travel outside UK?

[rameshusrajan]

Hello all,

I have seen similar queries but not sure if they are before the old or new ILR appointment system, so asking once more for a good measure.

I am applying through 10 years long residence route for ILR.

I have made an application online and paid the amount for premium serivce on 21st Aug

My biometrics appointment is on 11th Sept at Croydon

My question is can I travel for a weekend (7-9th Sept) before my Biometric appointment? I tried calling the UK immigration and they were very rude and didnt even listen to my question properly.

Can anyone please help?
Many thanks
Ramesh

You cannot travel outside of the UK before your decision/BRP has been received. Otherwise they will treat your application as withdrawn.
