So you were denied boarding in Portugal by the Portuguese immigration??? So nothing to do with HO in the UK then.They did not let me board and my kids and I lost the flight
You are going to need to describe the scene in detail. Where exactly in the airport did this happen, and in which airport?KBconnection wrote: ↑Mon Mar 18, 2019 8:39 pmThey simply refused on the spot (The Immigration officers) - They did not let me board and my kids and I lost the flight - We tried speaking to the airline but they couldn't help us!
How did you obtain the Portuguese nationality or passport?!KBconnection wrote: ↑Mon Mar 18, 2019 8:39 pmHello guys, They simply refused on the spot (The Immigration officers) - They did not let me board and my kids and I lost the flight - We tried speaking to the airline but they couldn't help us! Shall I send a complain to a tribunal or home office in the UK? My child needs to attend his school and I need to get on with my life. I have been in and out of UK before without any issues! There's absolutely nothing written from the officers. They were pretty hostile! I just need to know which authority to contact on this regard. Thank you so mucH!
something is not right and missing because it does not make any sense. may be you are hiding some inportant information to share.KBconnection wrote: ↑Mon Mar 18, 2019 10:17 pmH, thanks for all the replies. I am on maternity leave and decided to travel with my both daughters while my husband is in the UK. He has fully given consent for travelling etc so I do not think this might be the issue. My 6 years old attends a primary school in Manchester which we also have asked for absence permission and was granted. I was away for a month and duo to return to the UK on the 10th March. On boarding the flight to the UK I was confronted by the UK home officer telling me I have no rights to return to the UK. I fully explained and (obviously) showed I am an EEA national who is exercising treaty right in the UK however the officers simply denied us from boarding the plane. I am utterly shocked, I am here stranded on Portugal no funds to pay for another ticket or a solicitor to solve this issue. This situation seems unreal but in all honesty this is reality! I just need to know the contact of authorities so my husband can get in touch as a matter of urgency. The solicitor we got wants to charge over £1500 for a simple letter! I am truly shocked.
How has he given consent? Your story is still very vague, so we are only guessing here, but if this is a matter of authority to travel with minors, very likely him just saying "you can go" won't do. Again, this might or might not be the issue, but in some circumstances one parent alone isn't usually allowed to take kids out of the country. Not saying this is the case, but trying to help throw some light in all possible scenarios.KBconnection wrote: ↑Mon Mar 18, 2019 10:17 pmI am on maternity leave and decided to travel with my both daughters while my husband is in the UK.

I would say this is next to irrelevant. Even if you were just going on holiday to the UK, with a Portuguese passport you would not normally be questioned or asked to provide evidence of your residence on boarding a flight.My 6 years old attends a primary school in Manchester which we also have asked for absence permission and was granted. I was away for a month and duo to return to the UK on the 10th March.
As some one else has said. This just does not make any sense.On boarding the flight to the UK I was confronted by the UK home officer telling me I have no rights to return to the UK.
If these mysterious officers were indeed at the gate, then the airline staff should be able to tell you who they were, why they were there, and why they prevented you from boarding the plane. I would start by contacting the airline explaining in detail what happened, where at the airport, and at exactly what time (flight date and number). You say they couldn't do anything to help, but they should be able to tell you why.I fully explained and (obviously) showed I am an EEA national who is exercising treaty right in the UK however the officers simply denied us from boarding the plane.

Paranoia. Brexit has not even happened, and even if and when it does, EU nationals will still be legally allowed in the UK for short visits, no need for Settled Status or Permanent Residence to get past an airport gate.
Why would the husband be in a better position to sort out the mess?
