Dear GURKANWAL SINGH

Ref: 3434-6772-5704-0567

Your application for permission to stay as a


Graduate has been successful.
You have been granted permission to stay in the UK as a
Graduate until 15 Jun 2025

This notice sets out all of the conditions of your permission to stay
in the UK so please read it carefully.

Your conditions
The following are all the conditions of your permission to stay as a
Graduate.

Study conditions
You cannot study at a state funded school.

You cannot undertake further study with a student sponsor on a


course which would meet the requirements of the student route.

All other forms of study are permitted, subject to the condition


regarding the Academic Technology Approval Scheme (ATAS) as
set out in the Immigration Rules. For guidance on whether you
need to obtain an ATAS clearance certificate for your intended
course of study, check https://www.gov.uk/guidance/academic-
technology-approval-scheme

Work conditions
You can work in the UK (except for employment as a professional
sportsperson, including as a sports coach); including paid and
unpaid employment, self-employment and engaging in business or
any professional activity.

Public funds condition


You cannot claim public funds.

Note on conditions
Failure to comply with the conditions of your permission is a
criminal offence and may also lead to your permission being
cancelled and future applications being refused.

If you think an error has been made on the


period granted or conditions
If you think an error has been made, for example the period of
permission granted, or your conditions, you can request an
administrative review. You have 14 days from when you receive
your Biometric Residence Permit to apply for an administrative
review.
Information on how to apply for administrative review, the process
and the fees payable are all available online at: https://
www.gov.uk/ask-for-a-visa-administrative-review

The administrative review application form is available online at:


https://eforms.homeoffice.gov.uk/outreach/
UKVI_Admin_Review_Guidance.ofml

Your Biometric Residence Permit (BRP)


You will receive a Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) by courier,
usually within 7 to 10 days of receiving this decision notice. Your
BRP can be used as evidence of your permission to stay in the
UK, however you may find it more convenient to prove your rights
using your UK Visas and Immigration Account described below.

You will need to prove your identity and sign for the BRP when it is
delivered to you. If you do not receive your BRP within 10 working
days, please visit https://www.gov.uk/biometric-residence-permits/
not-arrived

You can find more information about the BRP including what to do
if your BRP is lost or stolen or if your personal details change
(such as your name) at: https://www.gov.uk/brp.

If you already hold a BRP from a previous grant of leave, or you


were issued with a replacement, you must now return it to the
Home Office as it is no longer valid.

The BRP card should be cut in half and posted (in a windowless
plain envelope) to BRP Returns, P.O. Box 195, Bristol, BS20 1BT.
You may have to pay a penalty of up to £1,000 if you fail to return
an invalid BRP.
Your BRP is an important document and you should look after it
carefully. It is proof of your right to stay, work or study in the UK
and may be used as a form of identification (for example, when
setting up a bank account). You will need your BRP (as well as
your passport) for travel to and from the UK.

Your permission to stay in the UK ends on 15 Jun 2025

If your BRP expires on 31 December 2024


All BRPs now expire on or before 31 December 2024. You do not
need to tell us if your BRP expires on 31 December 2024 and your
permission to stay in the UK has been granted for a longer period.
UKVI will update their information on the gov.uk website to tell you
what you need to do in early 2024. You do not need to do anything
now, and your immigration status will not be affected.

The expiry of the BRP card before the expiry of your permission
does not change your entitlement to work, access services or
benefits, or travel.

If there is an error on your BRP


If you think something is wrong on your BRP, such as your name,
sex, or it was damaged when you received it, you should let us
know at https://www.gov.uk/biometric-residence-permits/report-
problem

You only have 10 days from the date of receiving your BRP to let
us know about an error. Otherwise you may have to apply and pay
for a replacement.
Your UK Visas and Immigration Account
As part of our move to ‘digital by default’ we are changing how the
UK immigration system works. This means that you will be able to
do more things online and remotely.

During your application you created a UK Visas and Immigration


account. This account can be used to log into a number of
services which will allow you to make further applications, manage
your details and view and prove your immigration status online.

Where asked to log into your UK Visas and Immigration account


you will need details of the identity document you used when you
made your application and access to either the phone or email
account you used when you applied.

If you used your previous BRP to set up this account, it will be


registered as your account log in document. As that BRP is invalid
you may wish to change this to your current passport or travel
document, to ensure you can continue to access your account
easily. You can do this by visiting https://www.gov.uk/update-uk-
visas-immigration-account-details. Telling us about your travel
document will also help to ensure your permission to stay in the
UK can be checked easily at the UK border.

If you have any issues using this service, or no longer have


access to your account log in document you can contact https://
www.gov.uk/contact-ukvi-inside-outside-uk for help.

Once you have successfully updated your identity document or


sign in details, you must use the new details to sign in.
Sharing information about your permission
to stay in the UK (your immigration status)
Employers, landlords or other organisations may need to check
your immigration status to see if you are allowed to work, rent
somewhere to live or access public services.

You can use our online services to prove your right to work
(https://www.gov.uk/prove-right-to-work) or prove your right to rent
(https://www.gov.uk/prove-right-to-rent) and share that information
with other people. You’ll need to select the option to share your
information and you’ll then get a share code to give to them. This
share code will give them time-limited access to view your right to
work, or right to rent. You’ll also need to give them your date of
birth, to prove they have your permission to check your
information.

Check eVisa
Your eVisa is a secure record and proof of your immigration status
which is held digitally by the Home Office and which is available to
you at all times. Employers, landlords or other organisation may
need to check your immigration status to see if you are allowed
to work, rent property or access services.

From the View and Prove service you can choose to share
relevant information about your permission to stay with someone
else. You will need to select the reason why you are sharing your
status information, to ensure the right information is shared (for
example to prove right to work or right to rent). You will then be
provided with a share code to give to the person with whom you
want to share your information. This share code will give that
person time limited access to the relevant information. More
details on how to use this service can be found at: https://
www.gov.uk/guidance/using-your-uk-visas-and-immigration-
account

If your information or circumstances


change
You must tell us about any changes to your personal details, such
as your name and nationality.

If you need to update your UK Visas and Immigration account log


in details you can do this by visiting https://www.gov.uk/update-uk-
visas-immigration-account-details. This will ensure you can
continue to access services using your account.

If you need to update any of the details contained on your BRP,


such as your name, you will need to apply for a new document,
which you can do here: https://www.gov.uk/change-circumstances-
visa-brp.

Once you have updated your BRP, you can update your online
details at https://www.gov.uk/update-uk-visas-immigration-
account-details.

Travelling in and out of the UK


You should not book travel outside of the UK until you receive your
BRP. Doing so may mean that you fail to receive your BRP.

If you are using a different passport or travel document to the one


used when you made your application, you should update your
details. You can do this online by going to https://www.gov.uk/
view-prove-immigration-status to prevent any delay when crossing
the border.

Immigration health charge


If you have been granted a shorter period of permission than you
applied for, some of your immigration health charge payment may
be refunded. For further information on refunds of the immigration
health charge, please visit https://www.gov.uk/healthcare-
immigration-application/refunds

Your personal information


The Data Protection Act 2018 governs how we use personal data.
For details of how we will use your personal information and who
we may share it with please see our Privacy Notice for the Border,
Immigration and Citizenship system at https://www.gov.uk/
government/publications/personal-information-use-in-borders-
