Hello Everyone,
I need some help regarding the Entry in UK. I'm living in Italy at the moment and has applied for the residence card but still waiting for the decision. My wife lives in UK with her father. My father in law is EU national living in UK for past 4 years. He is a qualified person. My wife is expecting a child in May. I wanted to be with her at that time. I'm also depending on my father in law as he sends me money twice a month.
My wife has also 5 year Family member of EU national and is depend on her father.
My question is that if I go to the UK border in France with my Father in law and explain my circumstance will the border officer will give me entry in the UK?
I'm really looking forward for your help. Thanks in advance

You find that they mainly cancel visas at the border :/

However, I have never seen or heard about anyone who went to the border and explained his circumstances to obtain a visa. You do this at the Visa application centre and they forward to the Home Office for decision.
