Can I Enter UK Again? Please Advise!

[rocker19]

Hi Guys,

I am a Non EU National married to an EEA National in January 2014.

We applied for RC in 2014 and were called for an interview, RC was refused after the interview and home office said our marriage is of convenience. We appealed against that decision but appeal was not successful either and was refused in January 2015. UKBA held onto my passport.

In April 2015 I left UK illegally via France and entered Spain, my Spouse Joined me in Spain and we started living here and applied for Family Member Resident Card (Article 10) Here which we got for 5 years in end of 2015.

We both are living in Spain for 1.7 Months now, my question is If I can still go back to UK or I am banned for life now? because first they said our marriage is not geniune second I left UK illegally.

I left UK because I was Fed Up with all this RC process and did not wanted to apply again and wait for like over a year to get decision, that's why moved to Spain.

Please advise, thank you in advance.

You are not dealing with UKBA anymore they were abolished in 2013.

The RC may vary in details of application and paperwork across EU but it is a EU-wide document.
However they are purely optional confirmatory documents.
A RC is useful but not mandatory.

Were you served with any official removal papers in UK?

You don't seem to have made it easy for yourself but you should be able to enter UK. Expect questions to determine if you have abused or circumvented EU free movement rights and/or used fraud or deception.

I got it from my consulate In Spain, I told them my previous one was held by UKBA and they're not returning it.

Hi,

After my appeal got refused I left UK within few days, so I am not sure if later they sent me any removal papers to my address.

UK authorities must be thinking I am still in the country but I left it 1.7 years ago, so when I turn up at border not sure what will happen.

The UK didn't routinely conduct exit checks until recently, especially not on those without visas, so the chances are that they are none the wiser.

You can expect questions and to have to explain yourself. Exit checks or not you may well flash up on the screens.

Can they detain me and send to jail for leaving UK illegally earlier?

My understanding is you can expect questions which is why I mentioned it. Worst case: get turned away.
