shane2008, do you know what the conditions are of your stamp? Have you travelled in & out of the UK since being given this stamp? If yes, what happened? I am an Australian citizen married to an EU national, I was given the Code 1a stamp when I arrived at Heathrow after a trip overseas, my EEA f...

what kind of a home office letter it was? what did it say on it, and how did you manage to get that letter? I got the letter two months after applying for my family permit. It acknowledges that my residence card is under consideration. If you check the posts above, many people have got it, but thos...

I'm a non-visa natonal and therefore was allowed to board both planes (came to London via Amsterdam)

Hello! I just wanted to let people know that I managed to re enter the UK without the family permit, but with the Home Office letter. I found it very helpful that people came back to the forum to let everyone know what had happened, as reading people experiences gave me the courage to actually leave...

And what happened? How did you convince people from KLM? I'm assuming that you are also a fam...

I am a non visa-national, so I was hopping they would assume I'm coming as a tourist and don't ask questions. The same in Amsterdam as I am travelling via Amst. Do you think this is possible?

thanks

I got back into the country after a few questions from the immigration officer. I had the relevant docs with me, my spouse was not with me at the time. They stamped a right to enter stamp in my passport that expired 2 months after issue. Thanks Shane and thsths, It's reassuring to hear about people...

Actually I just noticed that you are a non-visa national: then you should be fine, and in the worst case get a tourist visa entry stamp (which would have no relevance under European law) Thanks thsths for your answer. I was told that I cannot enter as a tourist, because I am not one. That had been ...

I am in a similar situation as Rogerex. The deadline for my EEA2 was two weeks ago and they say my application is still pending. We have tickets to go to Mexico on the 17th and the Consulate is closed until the 22nd when I have got an appointment for another family permit. The problem is that it tak...

I am having a similar problem as many of you: the 6 months for my EEA2 application expired two weeks ago. I have been calling Home Office, but the only answer I have got is that my application is still pending. We have been sending letters since the beginning of my application to urge them to have i...
