If anybody could let me know how is possible to get back to UK with out Residence card ( Application in process )?
I live and reside in UK as a direct family member ( Spouse ) of EU citizen since Nov. 2017.
I had to travel urgently back to my home town for some family health situation and now I`m stuck out of UK in past 25 days as no air company will board me with out visa or Residence card. It was futile of me explaining that by UK law Residence card is not mandatory for Direct Family member.
I met my wife in Paris so we can travel together back to UK, and still I was asked for visa or Residence card. Been calling Home office to give me solution to this problem, and to be kind to them, they had no clue what was I talking about - Free Movement, Direct Family member, Article 4, Article 5. They even told me to apply for tourist visa

I even got written document from my MPs office, from UKs Member of European Parliament explaining that I have right of entry by Free Movement Directive, and still that wasn`t enough to air companies to allow me to board. They were still asking for visa or residence card.
Allow me to mention, that I have traveled with my family in October to Tenerife and back to UK with no visa ( Family permit has expired in April ) and no Residence Card and I boarded plane with no problem. Upon arrival we demonstrated to Immigration Officer that I live and reside in UK as Direct Family member, he took some checks, and after 2 minutes put a stamp in my passport and granted me entry.
Do you have any suggestions ? Was my best chance too get in touch with UK border on Eurostar line from Paris to London? Are there any other places where I can have direct contact with UK border force ? Because I know I would be granted entry if I had a chance to present evidence to UK Border Force, just like I did in October.
Kind Regards
