No, you cannot.

2 options:

- if you still have a valid visa - withdraw your application, do the business in your country, return and re-apply

- if your visa has already expired, but you do need to go, withdraw the application, do your business and apply for an EEA Family Permit from your country

There is no need to withdraw the application. The passport can be asked to be returned. A valid entrance clearance will be necessary though.

You can always request for your passport back without affecting your application. However if u do not have a valid visa than it's going to be hard to travel back into the UK.

Do you hold any other UK visa and not expired?

The UKBA may believe that your EEA application voided any other leave to remain but read here for some more details.

That's very strange for IMMIGRATION LAWYER to say that the application must be withdrawn. One would expect a lawyer to know at least what's written on the UKBA page!

Maybe I should have added the following. The student visa should be good enough to get you on the plane to the UK. But you may have a problem with the immigration officer. The least you would need to do is to carefully explain your situation and bring relevant information regards your application (CoA, work/residence related documents from your spouse). Theoretically that should work but you may be on the mercy of the IO's view on things.
