Hi did you still get a letter saying your BRP cards was on its way? or was it just your passport and the BRP card? I got my passport and letter saying on the same date as you got your Passport & BRP card, letter said that my BRP card was on its way and should be with me with 7 working days. Am asking because the envelope containing my documents was damaged (half open) and the post man gave a card to feel in if there was anything missing, he also was told me that I need to feel in a make report in no more than 10 days. So i don't know if the letter is just standard or the letter that is enclosed for people who's BRP cards are on the way. Thanks,,,

[gold9]

no BRP delivered separately and Passport by UKBA however I was lucky enough too revive both on the same day even at the same time.

Many, Many thanks, you've set my heart at rest, I was worried that maybe some at the post office had taken out the BRP card. I'll wait for it.

From what I have observed on many boards and on this board as well, the people who are currently receiving their passports and BRP are those who did the biometrics registration in and around October.
