Hello friends,
I applied for tier 1 ILR 5 year SET O on 2nd October 2012. Had biometrics done on dec 20th. I haven't heard anything yet.
And my Indian passport is expiring in 45 days. I am getting worried. What's my situation?
I'm in no hurry to travel, so will this expiry date impact decision on my ILR?
If I get ILR after passport expiry date, can I apply for new Indian passport being in UK or do I have to travel back to India to apply for renewal?
I am confused, please advise what's the best thing to do now?
Thanks ,
Mrs Barua

Passport expiry during the processing of an application does not affect the case. Once you get ILR/documents back then within the country you can renew your passport.
