Hi I am currently outside the UK and have obtained a one month single entry BRP replacement visa to enter the UK. I understand that
onceI enter I have to apply for a new BRP replacement at a UKVCAS within the UK.
Questions:
Can this process be expedited?
Also, I already gave my biometrics at a TLS contact site to UKVI while applying for BRP replacement visa so do I still need to attend UKVCAS centre in the UK for my biometrics for BRP replacement application?
If yes can I use a priority service for getting an appointment at UKVCAS the next working day and also apply for a priority service to get a decision on my application the next working day after my appointment?
Hi there! It’s great to hear that you’ve successfully obtained a one-month single-entry BRP replacement visa to enter the UK. As you’ve mentioned, you’ll need to apply for a new BRP replacement once you arrive in the UK, specifically at a UKVCAS (UK Visa and Citizenship Application Services) center. I understand that you have a few questions about this process, so let me break it down for you in detail.
1. Can the process be expedited?
Yes, the process can be expedited if you choose to apply for the priority service. The standard processing time for a BRP replacement application is up to 8 weeks. However, if you opt for the priority service, your application will be processed within 5 working days. The super-priority service offers an even faster turnaround, with a decision expected within 1 working day. Please note that these options are subject to availability and additional fees.
2. Do you need to attend the UKVCAS center for biometrics even though you’ve already given them at a TLS contact site?
Unfortunately, yes. Although you’ve already provided your biometrics at a TLS contact site while applying for your BRP replacement visa, you’ll still need to attend a UKVCAS center in the UK for your biometrics when applying for the BRP replacement itself. This is because UKVI (UK Visas and Immigration) requires updated biometric information specific to your new application.
3. Can you use a priority service for getting an appointment at UKVCAS and also apply for a priority service for processing your BRP replacement application?
Absolutely! You can use both the priority service for scheduling your appointment at the UKVCAS center as well as for processing your BRP replacement application itself. The priority service for booking an appointment allows you to secure an appointment within the next working day, subject to availability.
In summary, while it may seem a bit repetitive, attending a UKVCAS center for biometrics is still required for your BRP replacement application, even if you’ve already provided them at a TLS contact site. However, you can expedite the process by opting for priority services both for your appointment booking and the application processing.
I hope this information helps, and I wish you the best of luck with your BRP replacement application in the UK! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
