Norwegian embassy cannot issue visa post EEA FP expiry date

[1878]

Dear members,

Two weeks ago my wife wanted to apply for a Schengen visa because we will go to Norway for Christmas. We will return to London on the 26th of December.

My wife's EEA FP "expiry" date is on the 22nd of December and they could not issue a Schengen visa with a return date later than this.

We today received her COA but it does not state her right to return to the UK post EEA FP expiry date.

What can we do?

Just to add that I am a Norwegian national and my wife is a Chinese national.

After her EEA FP expires and in the absence of a residence card, her right to return will will be based on 11(4).

Funnily enough I don't think the embassy faced with this evidence/the law, they will not accept it. From what they told me they want some letter from UKBA stating her right to re entry.
