So here i'm back in the UK

Travelling to poland alone with just EEA2 : Norwegian airline saw my residence stamp and let me go, no question asked.

In Warsaw airport i went to the officer checking EU passport .

Officer: Wrong line you are not EU
me: But i have EEA family member residence card
officer: double check again and scanned it. Checked something in the system, asked me question like so you have a Polish wife ?where you will stay ? Can i see your hotel booking ?
Me : please don't stamp because you are not allowed
officer: so you know everything , Ok here you go

( total waiting time 3/4 minutes )

Coming back : the same airport after 5 days

Officer : Where is you VISA ?
me : I don't have a VISA. i entered this airport 5 days ago without one.
Officer: confused, he doesn't have a clue what is this EEA residence card is. So he phoned someone while i was waiting
Chief immigration officer came : He looked at me and asked me do you have polish wife ? He even doesn't have a clue about EEA residence card
Me: yes and i showed him my marriage certificate and photocopy of wife National ID
Officer: Took both of them and checked or put the information into the system and let me go but with a STAMP

So have exit stamp but no entry stamp

( total waiting times 15 minutes )



Back in the UK border :

Officer: What was your status before this residence card ?
me: Student

How did you meet your EEA national spouse?
Me: Long story

officer: Ok i don't want to hear your long story . off you go
