My question is can I use the EU lane there with me EEA2 or can I only use the EU lane when arriving back into the UK? I will not be travelling with my wife on this trip! The rule of ...

Hi Guys, Rang HO today stating my case and that I had applied on 19/06/2012 and that I had sent a complaint e-mail. Told her that even though I got my COA on 27/08/2012 I was still not satisfied with their progress as I was transferring my RC to new passport but she said she could not access my fil...

I've just received mine as paper, very flimsy but still easy enough to carry around in my travel wallet when required.

I know I can use the EU lane when arriving into the UK now, but is the same true for other EU countries?

Ah, in which case I should be fine then? Speaking of which, my wife's passport arrived yesterday in her new name, so I assume easier to carry that, our wedding cert and a printout of the directive. As long as you can demonstrate that you are the family member of an EU national exercising treaty rig...

a) I'm a non-Visa national (Australian) b) Wife is EEA (Irish) From what I've read in the first post, I should qualify as "joining my wife"? ...but on your return, directive 2004/38/EC does apply as you will be "joining" your wife in the UK. Life's easy for non-visa nationals. A...

As I'm heading over on business (our man office is in NL and I'm based in UK) my wife won't be with me. Directive 2004/38/EC does not apply to this particular trip.

So coming out of AMS they'd just go "Aussie passport, entering as tourist" ? Hopefully they're not like the French, who as soon as they see the Visa will always then start to question that (given the date has now passed!). If you are with your wife, you can always enter under article 5.4....

My wife was speaking with a colleague of hers at work, who has his wife also applying for an RC and theirs has hit 7 months now.
