ILR PEO - timelines for receipt of BRP

Hi,

I had my PEO for ILR on 31st July. I was told I would receive my BRP within 5 working days but haven't received them still. I have a trip planned on 24th August.

Anyone have any idea about how long it normally takes to receive BRPs after PEO?

Thanks!

I'm waiting as well for my BRP - got ILR on 6th August.

Have a look on the following link

If you have not received your permit 10 working days after the date on your letter from us extending your permission to stay in the UK, you should email BRPDelivery@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk. In your email you should state:

your full name;
your date of birth;
your nationality;
your passport number;
your case reference number;
the delivery address for the permit; and a contact telephone number. If you do not provide all this information, there may be a delay in answering your query.

You can also send this information by post to:

Freepost RRYX-GLYU-GXHZ,
Returns Unit,
PO Box 163,
Bristol
BS20 1AB

You cannot ask about undelivered permits in person at our public enquiry offices or biometric enrolment centres.

I called to UKBA today regarding the BRP & lady told me that if you didn't receive your card in 20 days then call us & we can put you through processing team which can confirm about it.

But she was confident that BRP will be delivered in around 10 workings days so fingures crossed.

BRP has replied me back saying courier attempted to deliver it to the address but they have given me the trackring number for DX. I have re-arranged the delivery for tomorrow through DX by providing the tracking number.

@amityadav82 - send email to BRP so that they will give you an update.

Did you write to them again after you got the standard reply? How did they send you the tracking number?
I sent them an email and they've just said it will reach me in 3-7 working days. I have no idea why it is taking so long! My appt was on 31st July. I know people who went on the 5th and have got theirs!

No I just sent them 1 email on 15th AUG & I got 2 responses from them.
1. Standard reply which I got straight after the reply
2. Response on 16th August, where they explain the reason & provided me the tracking number for DX

I called on the standard HM number - 08706067766
Lady told me that if you didn't receive your card after 20 days then she can put me to the processsing team which can tell you exactly the reason why the card is not delivered yet. So it's worthwhile to give the a buzz & ask them to put you through the processing team.

Just for your information - I have also received a letter from DX regarding the BRP card yesterday

DX has automated service & you need to provide the tracking number. They don't deliver on Saturday's.
Monday - Friday (9-5)
