Take the smoke break.
You’re not nuts.
But most people think you are, because they are morons.
You do actually have to calm down, or you’ll end up in a psych hold, which is probably highly undesirable if you now no longer have immigration type paper work.
Think of it this way:
You are a crisis management and resolution reaponse team of one.
Seems like everyone else involved in your network, wherever you are living, is an idiot, as well as the cops you’ve talked to thus far.
Sounds like you’re probably also making backups and records of everything you can, which is good.
Now, what I would suggest is to do an inventory of what kinds of documents you lost, which can be replaced, which can’t.
The ones you can get replaced, start the process of getting them replaced.
Calmly.
Put out whatever the equivalent of a credit freeze is wherever you are, for… basically everything.
Banks, any kind of ID that’s tied to you and/or your physical address… you’re gonna need to contact all of them, try to explain what’s happened, tell them you’ve already contacted law enforcement, give them a name or number of something so they can liaise, and also take you more seriously.
Again, you have to do this calmly.
It also probably would be best to show up to as many of such places as you can, in person, to explain things, with the physical IDs and such you hopefully/presumably still have.
… This is all gonna take a while to iron out.
A marathon, not a sprint.
Eventually, what would probably be ideal is getting new bank cards, new/updated IDs, new phone number… but do not try to change everything all at the same time, otherwise their own internal systems will flag you trying to recover from an identity theft as you potentially doing fraud.
