Hi
My husband is an ILR in UK and I'm his tier2 dependent.
We travelled to India last night and on the way we met with bad accident and all our documents contained in a bag were sank in the river pond but we couldn't locate it and we report to local police here.
Please an you suggest us what next as we are completely broken
And our return tickets were booked on Feb 18th 2018 but we lost our passport and BRP cards please suggest as what procedures need to be done next to travel to UK.
Much appreciate your reply please help us with your valuable suggestion.
Thanks
Kruthi
My sympathies on the accident, thankfully it appears you are all safe and I hope things were not much worse than the loss of passports.
Naturally you have to get your passports locally. If you have copies of your BRPs or some reference documents, that should get you through immigration in UK - expect delays while they do additional checks but with they would normally let you in after the due checks. You can then apply for the BRP once you are back.
Your bigger challenge will be getting on the plane - the airlines are likely to stop you from boarding without the relevant documents. Again, copies of your BRP will help - you have hopefully scanned it at some point of time and have the copy accessible.
Also, contact the British consulate - they may be able to give you some temporary document to let you board the plane and enter UK.
My comments are in no way meant to be advisory. I have no professional knowledge of immigration. These are based on my own experience, convictions and personal interpretation of publicly available information.
