student on tier 4 applied for residence card as EU family member and received documents today

Post by amy2227 » Thu Dec 21, 2017 11:14 am

Hello all,
I'm excited to say that I received all my documents and a letter saying that I will receive my residence card within 10 working days. However I am bothered about one sentence in the letter, it says that the new Residence card replaces any vignette/sticker or stamps previously placed in my passport to reside under EU law. I do not have such a vignette/sticker or stamps as I came in UK as a student but got married here and applied directly for a residence card as a spouse of an EU national.

My question is, will I get any trouble while travelling and entering UK again?
Because I remember that whenever I used to travel, at the airport they used to check my entry clearance vignette as a student and then check my BRP. What happens now? Anyone in the same situation?

You will enter under EU laws going through EU/EEA line at the airports. They will just check your residence card and your passport if you are traveling with your EEA spouse (they can question you if you are alone).
