Lost BRP with ILR

Post by niteshalagh » Tue Jan 15, 2013 11:50 pm

Hi

I am new to this forum. I have lost my BRP in India and I am scheduled to leave in 4 days. I am quite sure I can't get a replacement BRP visa so quickly. I cannot extend my stay as I have to start a new job. I luckily have copies of my BRP and the letter from the Home Office when the BRP with ILR was issued. Will I able able to enter the UK by producing photocopies and relevant reference numbers.

Please help.

Thanks

You probably won't have problem clearing immigration.
Your problem will be convincing your airline to carry you.

I can speak to your predicament and I agree with INSIDER.

I entered the UK just this past weekend without my BRP. I had lost my old BRP about 2 months ago while in the UK and applied for a replacement that week. I had to travel in between receiving my passport back and receiving the new BRP.

At the border they were able to check my visa status on their systems and they let me in with just a photocopy of my old BRP and the letter from UKBA saying my new one will be arriving soon as evidence.

As you are a national from a country without a visa waiver to UK you will definitely have problems boarding the flight though. I'm a US citizen and so wasn't asked to show proof of immigration status when I left the US to return to UK, but my girlfriend (who's an Indian national) was asked to show her BRP before boarding. Luckily she hadn't lost hers!
