Re: Travelling with COA while waiting for Residence card

Hello there, I have had the same issue last month. I was told everywhere that we shouldn't fly back to UK as Stupid won't allow us to board. It seems like this is correct, the only one who could confirm it for you would be the airline anyway. Try to contact them and see. I think it will be difficult ...

Re: Visa free travel for Residence Card holder Case refer to

Hi guys, just wanted to give you an update regarding our travel back to UK without Family Permit. As I have discussed earlier here (Slovak national with Iranian wife), we had to travel back to Slovakia for a week and were worried how to re-enter UK without FP. Some people advised me here not to take ...

Re: EEA2 Application Timelines - ONLY 1 TOPIC - UpToDate

Thanks guys, as you said ... it really came out of the blue, I was expecting to get in September or so (was thinking about 6 months timeline roughly) ... couldn't believe it myself. I am still thinking what is the reason for things going so smooth in our case, maybe that we both came and started ...

Re: EEA2 Application Timelines - ONLY 1 TOPIC - UpToDate

Thanks a lot guys, this forum helped me a lot :-) Anyway, we came here in September 2014, we applied for EEA Family Permit in Vienna and got it in about 2 weeks after. Our only trouble was that we needed to travel back to Slovakia for a week at the end of April and didn't have FP to return back to ...

Re: Visa free travel for Residence Card holder Case refer to

Thanks for your reply and for your friendly advice :) I understand what you mean. I am so frustrated though, by the fact that such country as UK doesn't really have proper rules which would be clear to all. It is a mystery to me, how one officer says that, while other one says different things. It ...

Re: Re-entry to UK with COA for visa national

Just a quick question please, people mentioned that we will be refused boarding and I am not going to risk it. So we decided to take the bus instead. I have spoken to Immigration in Heathrow and they told me, that if we have our marriage certificate with us and my wife and some payslips, my wife has ...

Re: Non-Eu Citizen with Schengen Visa Marry Eu-National in E

A late reply, but I just spotted it here and provide some update as I have gone through this. It is possible without any problems, definitely in Slovakia, as I have done the same thing. I am a Slovak national, met my wife (Iranian citizen) while living in Malaysia. She came to Slovakia on Schengen ...

Re: Visa free travel for Residence Card holder Case refer to

I was waiting for this news for quite some time with my wife, however after I have read everything, I guess we are still stuck. I am a Slovak national, and my wife has Residence Card issued by Slovakia. It is the exact same format as from some other EU countries, from what I saw on internet. It ...

Re: Re-entry to UK with COA for visa national

Thanks for your reply. I will see as to what airline has to say. I still don't see the logic behind it, although I have learned already during living in different countries, that I shouldn't look for logical explanations when it comes to these things. If UK Immigration says it is fine to enter, how ...

After that, they told me that it is better to speak with Immigration Officers and provided a phone number to me. After a long conversation, officer told me that my they are ...
