Hi All,
I've dug around attempting to find information on this topic but not uncovered much. So I'm asking directly as a new topic. If anyone can point me to where this has been answered before - thanks and apologies for not doing enough digging.
My question relates to the CoA that is supplied when applying as the non-EEA member for a Settled Status application (Surinder Singh route - wife is British citizen). My 5-year residence permit expired end of Aug just before I sent in my application for SS. Today, I received an email response to my complaint stating that the CoA was just sent in the post.
I have urgent personal travel (my mom's husband died last week) and I wanted to know if the CoA provides any useful evidence at the border that means I can re-enter the UK: a code 1A stamp? or temporary leave to remain? or??? I'm trying to understand both what rights I may have but also what is the likely response of the border officials.
I was told by someone at the resolution centre that the CoA was not a travel document and would not enable me to leave and re-enter.
Having been turned away at Heathrow in 2013 and spent 3-months without a home trying to sort out re-entering the UK - I don't want to repeat.
Thanks!
