Possibly HO shenanigans in prevailing climate.mattk1 wrote:Hi noajthan,
Thank you very much for your fast reply, I am very grateful.
That second link you posted was very interesting and has given me a much greater insight of how the Article 10 issue came about.
Strange though how it still recommends to apply for a Family Permit before travelling. We did consider this but the cost of getting to the office in Madrid (we are nowhere near Madrid) and submitting translated copies of all our documents was just too much, and, ultimately unnecessary by the govs own website.
I will update this thread and let other know how it went.
Thanks again.
Or, rather than look at a document released in 2011, try the version released in 2016:noajthan wrote:To get inside head of the IO who questions you at the border, see UK BF OPs manual:

Hi mattk1,mattk1 wrote:Hey everyone,
My wife arrived to the UK with her Article 10 residence card and her passport was stamped with:
'Admitted to the United Kingdom under the Immigration (EEA) Regulations 2006 for - Three months'
I'm British and exercised my treaty rights in Spain and I plan on applying for a UKRC for my wife, does this stamp put any obstacles in the way of that?
Thanks in advance
And thanks for clarifying this for me too noajthan, I can not tell you how relieved I am to read thatnoajthan wrote:No, there's always a 3 months grace period as per EU law. After that sponsor needs to be a qualified person if not settled.
As you are a BC, case law of Eind kicks in; no need for treaty rights from you.
Take a couple of weeks to settle in then start on EEA(FM) application for spouse's RC.mattk1 wrote:And thanks for clarifying this for me too noajthan, I can not tell you how relieved I am to read thatnoajthan wrote:No, there's always a 3 months grace period as per EU law.
