Your wife is British. What is a BRP?

Related topic posted by the OP. http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=109906

The OP is a spouse of a British Citizen who has been issued a BRP (Biometric Residence Permit) on which his current UK ILR status would be stated.

Basically you have a residence permit issued under the immigration rules and this is not generally accepted in lieu of a visa (whereas an article 10 residence card issued under the directive 2004/38/EC will).

Look carefully, does your BRP as the spouse of a British Citizen state that you are a "family member". If not complain.

Regulation (380/2008) says
The residence permit of a member of the family of a citizen of the European Union who has not exercised the right of free movement must contain the entry “family member”. In the case of beneficiaries under Article 3(2) of Directive 2004/38/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the right of citizens of the Union and their family members to move and reside freely within the territory of the Member States (*), Member States may enter “beneficiary under Article 3(2) of Directive 2004/38/EC”.
