my wife has EEa family visa valid for 5 years, this week we were both in Italy and she had to go back to London before me. So she left one day in advance and travelled alone. At the immegration she was questioned as usal and she was asked where is your husband. She told the truth as I was still in Italy and due to come back in a few days. The officer wrote next to her stamp on her passport, husband not present.

What is this supposed to mean? are we heading for troubles?

I suppose you mean your wife has a Residence Card as a result of a successful EEA2 application?

I suggest you send a formal complaint to UKBA about this incident. You can do this by email to UKBACustomerComplaints@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk
Provide date, time and flight no, so that the IO who handled your wife's arrival can easily be traced

The passport of Residence Card holders should in general not be stamped on arrival in the UK, and handwritten remarks for irrelevant issues as you describe are certainly unacceptable. To me it seems that this IO is headed for troubles, not you.

yes my wife has a residence permit, to be honest I am shocked. I will write them to seek explainations

Hi guys, I non EEA with my wife EEA national went to Greece for holiday(1 week) as we landed at the airport they put a stamp(visa I guess) on my passport even I explained about my RC and my EEA wife!!!
Any idea guys?

Complain to the UKBA. They did the same to me on two occasions, though I told them not to stamp my passport.
Needless to say, I received an apology from the UKBA, and after my latest journey I did not get stamped.

Don't accept less than perfection from Immigration Officers, they get paid to do a job. Besides if it's you making a mistake, they'll throw the book at you.

Only the ones that know how to do the job.

They can't win can they?
