Old tier 2 brp not returned

Hi all,

I will be eligible for ILR next year October and have some questions in mind.

I know that to apply for ILR, u need to have tier 2 visa for 5 years. I got my first brp in Oct 2014 and extended it in Oct 2016 for another 3 years. After my extension application, I got a new brp with a new issue and expiry date. However, my old Brp was not returned. I forgot the issue date of my old brp - is there any way to check this? Also, do I need my old brp to apply for ILR?

Lastly, when can I apply for ILR? Is it 28 days before the expiry date of my current brp?

you have stamp on your entry clearance. use that day then.

lso, do I need my old brp to apply for ILR?

Of course not. they intentionally took your old brp when you had new one.

Lastly, when can I apply for ILR? Is it 28 days before the expiry date of my current brp?


28 days before you qualify 5 years. not your brp exprity date.
