Waiting for replacement BRP.. need to travel urgently

[Jajko007]

Hello, I hold ILR status and I am a registered traveller. I am a non visa citizen.

I am waiting for my replacement BRP because I lost it but I need to travel urgently. I did find it recently but I have already cancelled my brp. Online advice says I should have my brp with at the border. Passport gates don’t often work for me for some reason.

Can someone advise the likelihood of being refused entry at the border? I called visa helpline and the person on the phone laughed at me and said I would not even be able to board the flight to the uk without a valid brp (even though I said I was a non visa citizen)

Thank you!

They're contractors who sometimes give incorrect advice as they're not employed by HO.

ILR as a status doesn't expire (if you're within absence limits and so on). You probably will be fine explaining yourself at the border.
