That was an interesting story. What a courage!Directive/2004/38/EC wrote:You've moved!Location: islamabad
Good to see you tried to enter the UK without the required visa. I have written about this at http://eumovement.wordpress.com/2010/08 ... to-travel/ I suspect you have a "Code 1A" stamp.
Sorry that the IO was ignorant of the law and rude. Sometimes you get really sweet and knowledgeable ones.
Doing the entry by ferry/train is definitely easiest. When flying there is a good chance that the airline will refuse to allow you to board.
Read through my posting and give it a good try. Print out the posting and relevant case law. Be very very patient and be sure to get to the airport early.
And let us know how it goes!
Remember to carry your marriage certificate and proof that the EU citizen has been working in Sweden.

Regulation 11(4) of the Immigration (EEA) Regulations 2006 allows a person to provide other proof of their right to enter the UK, if they do not have an EEA family permit, residence card or permanent residence card.
How long did it take from when you submitted until you withdrew? 30 days?kadsac wrote:We did apply for family permit twice during the last two years but both times we had to withdraw the application because of the time (more than 30 days) they were taking!!
If we manage to get to a UK airport, do you think we will get another Code 1A stamp? Can they not issue family permit at the airport?
I would apply again and include a cover letter stating that you expect the visa to be processed on a priority basis.kadsac wrote:yep more than 30 days on both occasions :x
Can we demand a code 1A stamp that is valid for upto 6 months? And is code 1A only valid for single entry?
Any chance you can provide a link to this guidance you refer to?EUsmileWEallsmile wrote:Ryanair should not be fined (as you got in), but will still get a nasty letter. UKBA guidance states as much.

It is also neat that the benefits of EU free movement law lead you to live in Sweden and enjoy it so much.
You could always get an EEA Family Permit if you wish. It will make flying back smooth and easy. Should be a very easy application.
Note also that UKBA is in some cases describing the EEA Family Permit as "not mandatory".

Hi Directive,
Just trawling through, and found an outdated link.
Just pointing it out.
