I guess your marriage certificate is still with the HO, isn't it? If so, it may not be a good idea, since his EEA Family Permit is expired and you don't have any documentation proving his status as a family member of an EEA national. he may end up being denied boarding on the way back to the UK or in the border.Jellybean105 wrote:Hi
Summary..
We sent our EEA2 application (via surrinder singh) on the 18th of March. We received a COA with no right to work and have emailed to get it rectified but still no luck after 2 months!
We are planning to travel soon so we requested our passports back and received them today with a letter stating 'they are returned for travel' and if they need the passport back they'll ask for it. My husband is a visa required national and the family permit we entered UK with expired in April.
My question is.. will my husband (accompanying me) be allowed back to the UK without a valid UK family permit? We will be travelling international and my husband has an Ireland resident card.
Also, we have our passports but HO still have the resident card. So if we do need it for travel please advise so I can request HO to return the card as well.
Thanks
Having another original marriage certificate is certainly good, but I'm afraid the airline may still deny boarding, mainly due to their own ignorance. Better check with them first and try to get their confirmation on paper. Ireland is in the common travel area, but from what I could gather most airlines would still require a valid visa for boarding to the UK, even if boarding on Ireland. Maybe somebody here in the forum has more experience on this and can clarify this.Jellybean105 wrote:Thank you for the reply. We have another original marriage certificate. What else would we need to prove?
It could be that where we return from the airline won't know what family of EEA member is?
Is it possible to go Ireland and then come to the UK? I've read people entering without a visa but are a family member of an EU.
Well, I guess you need to contact the airline and get them to confirm they would accept such documentation for boarding.Jellybean105 wrote:Thanks.. do you have an email address of anyone I can contact to clarify and maybe get some sort of a confirmation letter? I have no idea who to ask.
And if we go Ireland will he need his GNIB card?? Or is the visa in his passport enough? Please let me know.
