If your spouse is in the UK and and you can demonstrate the possession of permanent residence (ideally via a DCPR) or status as a qualified person under the EEA regulations, then you have the right of admission. Your Australian passport should get you as far as British Immigration, where you should at least get an EEA regulations stamp.BrunoK1441 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 01, 2020 12:43 pmMy concern is that I would be granted my status while outside of the UK and my current Ancestry BMP and status will become expired and I wanted to see if anyone here could shed some light re. re-entering the UK if this happens as I wouldn't have my new BRC yet.
I'm really sorry but I don't understand. Do you mean I can carry and show some sort of document relating to my wife's settled status? (she is an EU citizen already with settled status in the UK)Richard W wrote: ↑Sat Feb 01, 2020 6:00 pmIf your spouse is in the UK and and you can demonstrate the possession of permanent residence (ideally via a DCPR) or status as a qualified person under the EEA regulations, then you have the right of admission.

No, the EU settlement scheme possibly won't help if all you have is an expired visa. (It's conceivable that you might be admitted on the basis that your BRC is in the post.)BrunoK1441 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 02, 2020 9:40 pmI'm really sorry but I don't understand.

Hi Richard W, thanks again for your help. Unfortunately she doesn’t have a paper/card to prove settled status from the EU settlement scheme.Richard W wrote: ↑Mon Feb 03, 2020 11:39 pmNo, the EU settlement scheme possibly won't help if all you have is an expired visa.

However, you may have rights under the EEA regulations. If your wife has permanent residence under the EEA regulations or is a qualified person (e.g. in work), then you have the right of entry to the UK. To do that, you will need to be able to show that she is your wife (show marriage certificate), is an EEA citizen, and has permanent residence or is a qualified person. That would be easiest to do if you fly back and she meets you at the airport. She can bring the more precious documents with her to show Immigration. You shall then be admitted with an EEA Regulations stamp.
It's not the EU settlement scheme that is sure to give you the right of entry; it is the EU rules, specifically directive 2004/38/EC.BrunoK1441 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 04, 2020 12:11 amHi Richard W, thanks again for your help.

It may be difficult to avoid lying to an Irish Immigration Officer, which would probably be illegal. (If one is not a British citizen, it is illegal to lie to a British Immigration Officer.)BrunoK1441 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 04, 2020 12:11 amAs an alternative, could one ‘technically’ re-enter the U.K. through Dublin, bus to Belfast airport and fly domesticity to Scotland? (without BRP needing to be scanned/shown)

You said you were worried about what would happen if it expired before you got evidence of acceptance under the EU settlement scheme!BrunoK1441 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 06, 2020 12:49 pmI would still have my Ancestry BRP on me showing validity until 2021.
