Hello!

Ive recently got my approved FLR(M) email and received my BRP shortly after. Many thanks tonall you folks who have helped me with the application xx

Now, I have an upcoming schedule for passport renewal from the Philippine Embassy. This soon to be expired passport, which I used for the FLR(m) application bears my maiden name. I now want to use my married name in the passport renewal. My question is, what happens to my current BRP? Do I need to apply for a replacement? How long will it take?

Cheers to anyone who will respond xx

Glad your application was successful

The name on your passport and the name on your BRP need to match so you’ll need to apply for a replacement BRP. How long it takes depends on how much you wish to spend. If you have no travel plans then the standard service should suffice - it should take around eight weeks.

hi BritInParis!

noted, is there only one form for this? I assume its below?

we are planning a trip back home this December, if allowed, fyi. My passport renewal will take about a month or two max to process.

thanks again BIP xx

Hello everyone.

First of, thank you for taking the time to read this post.

Second, i once again need your help,input to prepare for my upcoming visa application- ILR (M).

my questions so far are as follows:

1. current FLR(M) BRP expiration is 18-09-2023, i should lodge the application 28days prior to this date?
fyi - vignette on my initial visa had the
valid from 24-01-18, valid until 23-02-18 dates on it. I arrived at Heathrow airport 07-02-2018.

2. what are the requirements for the ILR(M) application? I read it here somewhere that theyre basically the accumulation of all documents provided since the beginnIng (initial visa)

3. Life in the UK test, i am already booked on the 30th of July, any suggestions on how to pass?

appreciate your input.
again, many thanks for your time.
