Your next action depends on your plan. If you want:
1. To work - read this http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/ni/intro/number.htm to arrange National Insurance Number.

2. To drive - read this https://www.gov.uk/apply-first-provi...riving-licence to apply for provisional driving license.

3. To change your passport and use your husband last name go to http://philembassy-uk.org/consular-matters/passport. Once you received the passport, read this to renew your BRP http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/vi...ponsibilities/. This action is not advisable, your BRP will be stocked again to UKBA for at least 6 months.

4. To travel EU - read this http://filipinaroses.com/showthread....=schengen+visa

5. To go Philippines - buy ticket and fly immediately.

Congrats MissAna on your BRP. Happy heart's day!

oh my so much for this information it really helps me a lot.
my plan is ,i want to work as soon as possible then, save some money, learn to drive,and go back to the philippines but i know it won't be that easy.

[vernier caliper]

save some money, learn to drive

You need to save a lot of money. DL1 application, theory test, car, driving lessons and practical test is a BIG COST! Anyway, good luck on your job hunting. Happy days

[Janedan0913]

Congrats! Your early Valentine's gift from UKBA. I wish everyone will be happy like you.

yeah i heard it's costly i'll just take my plans one step at a time.
i have a question, i hope you can help me
when i got my BRP, the name written there is my maiden name right? so when i try to apply some work, will i use my married name or my single name?
also my passport is still on my maiden name. when should i apply to change it? it expires on 2015

[vernier caliper]

For the meantime use your maiden name in all your applications (i.e. bank, national insurance, work, licence) matching to both your BRP and Passport.

I suggest to renew your passport atleast 2 months before you apply for ILR. Ensure your passport will be received before your FLRM expires.

[Janedan0913]

Congrats! I wish everyone will be as lucky as you. But not waiting for a long time. Lol.

ah so i need to follow what's written on my BRP and passport. thank you so much again for telling me such an important information in order for me to start a new life.

so much for your kind words , i really appreciate it.

[Anakin]

Congratulations Ana. Great news!

Do these BRP's get delivered by the Royal Mail? If so I don't have to keep waiting in for ours to be delivered...
Last time I had a residents permit delivered it was by a private courier service.

I think UKBA uses DX courier, as what others have said. They don't want these BRPs to be misplaced as it's a very important document. Hence they need proof of identifications and signature when it's delivered.

[Anakin]

yet all MY important stuff such as passport, marriage license etc. came via Royal Mail Special Delivery. Maybe that's not so important to them ...

If you provided them with a Royal Mail Special delivery envelope, then they would use that as it's already been paid. I don't know which one they would use if in case you haven't. They probably would use the same courier service with the brp.

[Anakin]

no I never provided with any envelope for RM special delivery - it just came that way. Thats was why I was wondering if they'd switched from the couriers to the RM special delivery service.

Well you can ask UKBA if you really want to know. But like what others have said, BRPs are delivered by DX courier.
