Directive 2004/38/EC
Article 5 -- Right of entry
1. Without prejudice to the provisions on travel documents applicable to national border controls, Member States shall grant Union citizens leave to enter their territory with a valid identity card or passport and shall grant family members who are not nationals of a Member State leave to enter their territory with a valid passport.
No entry visa or equivalent formality may be imposed on Union citizens.
2. Family members who are not nationals of a Member State shall only be required to have an entry visa in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 539/2001 or, where appropriate, with national law. For the purposes of this Directive, possession of the valid residence card referred to in Article 10 shall exempt such family members from the visa requirement.
Member States shall grant such persons every facility to obtain the necessary visas. Such visas shall be issued free of charge as soon as possible and on the basis of an accelerated procedure.

European Economic Area (EEA) family permits

Under European Community law, applications for EEA family permits must be treated as a priority case (page 7 of 18).
They are taking unreasonably long to process your application. They have frankly no excuse, other than that maybe they do not realize they are doing something wrong. Your job now is to point out to them the highlighted quotes above.cancerionn11 wrote:We applied on 24th november
If you do not try, then you will definitely not get the EEA Family Permit in time for your flight. Makes sense if you think about it.cancerionn11 wrote:But they open on 28/12/11 now when I am actually going and the security do not let anybody in without any email invite or any sort of invitation. So I cannot talk to any Officer or cannot even email direct to the visa officer
So your husband has a Residence Card because he is the family member of an EU citizen. (see picture at http://eumovement.wordpress.com/eu-coun ... d-kingdom/ ) Note that since there was no "permission" involved, it is not called a permit.cancerionn11 wrote:Previously my husband had Family Member Residence Permit which was suggested by Home Office because of my WRS.
Then here in India on 24th we applied for EEA VAF5.
Then it is likely not a Residence Card. Exactly what was the name of what was in his passport?cancerionn11 wrote:But his visa was valid only till 22nd of december.

Really annoying cos it has been more than 1 month...
They emailed and said the status remains the same
