SECTION 7 - YOUR EEA NATIONAL FAMILY MEMBER (SELF-EMPLOYMENT)
You must complete this section if you are applying as the family member of an EEA national who is self-employed. If the EEA national has ceased self-employment due to an illness or accident, please ensure you also complete question 7.6 below. If your EEA national family member has already acquired permanent residence, please provide either their document certifying permanent residence (if they have one) or evidence of how they acquired permanent residence, for example evidence of exercising Treaty rights for a continuous period of 5 years prior to the date at which they acquired permanent residence.

They won't provide permanent residence unless you submit the right form (EEA4). Besides that, you must be in country for 5 years as well and your EEA national family member must have exercised his/her Treaty Rights during these 5 years or have acquired permanent residence during this period.

On these terms, you should have applied using the EEA4 form, to obtain permanent residence. I believe that, regardless of the documentation, they will issue you a residence card, since this is what you applied for.

If you meet the 5 years requirement then they will sent you a letter that you are eligible for PR.
You don't have to apply PR then.
After one year you can apply BC.
EEA1/2/3/4 does not matter under EU regulations.

dont understand you?
u mean eea form are thesame?
1234?
so if i am eligible for PR,will it be stamped on passport?
eea2 5yrs+ eea2 1yr=naturalization???isnit?

proof of living together ETC
evidence of living together for almost 7yrs with kids

fresh application sent 3 may 2014(eea2)

after eea4 refusal in april

Congratulations on getting your EEA2 . It's much easier to get an EEA2 than an EEA4. At least you can keep your job now which is good news. You can now apply for EEA4 if you wish, but at least you don't have to worry about your job now.

[*]thank you so much rosebead,u stayed by me.

thinking of applying for naturalization.
wont do eea4.

I recommend applying for EEA4 first as it's only £55. This is because you have to submit the very same proofs for British Citizenship (BC) as you had to for EEA4, and if the Home Office thinks you haven't met the requirements of PR, they can fail you and you would lose the £900 you paid for the BC application! There is also no right of appeal for BC applications, although you can ask for a reconsideration.

do they also retain passports?

For what, EEA4 applications? You can always ask for your passport back through this link without it affecting your application.

i meant if they refuse my BC ,will they retain my passport too.

now scared to apply for eea4 again

No, they won't retain your passport if your BC application fails, they'll just simply return your passport to you (minus the £900 you paid).

Why are you worried about submitting another EEA4 application? It will have no affect on your EEA2 whatsoever if that is what you are worried about. This is because the criteria for an EEA4 application is very different as you know - for that you need 5 years of proofs rather than recent proofs as for the EEA2. The worst that can happen is you will be refused and you could then either ask for a reconsideration before appealing, or just simply appeal. If you feel you have a good case and that they refused you unfairly you will easily win at an appeal. Better still, your spouse should apply for an EEA3, and once she has that, her EEA3 plus proof that you lived together for 5 years will be all the proof you will need for an EEA4 application.

hi roasebead.
hope u remember me.
am about to send my wife eea3.
IF its granted?
should i apply for eea4 again.
and what document should i send.would i have to send all her treatyrite docs of just the PR copy?

desperate for an advice,

i applied for another eea2 again after being refused for eea4 due to isufficeient document.
applied for eea3 for my eea spose and we got it today.
my question is

should i send it back and appliy for eea4?
since we being marrired and still maried for 6yrs with 2 kids

should i jst send eea spouse treaty rite doc for 5yrs or just send her permant residence eea3

If you have completed 5 years of residence in the UK, you can apply for PR using EEA4. Use your partner EEA3 as evidence. No need to send the treaty rights evidence again. You will need to provide evidence of residence for 5 years.

will i be refused if i dont send a covering letter?
sent it off and didnt include a covering letter to explain that i am sending just (EEA3) PR to cover 5 years residence?

You don't need a cover letter. Legally you don't need to send an application form.

hi jambo,

can u explain more,what do you mean by legally i dont need an application form?

@behold2014: you don't have to use the application form for EEA2, you can just apply with your documents and making it clear what you want to apply for.

I think that you should provide a cover letter. It will make things much clearer and give you/your spouse the chance to provide extra information that the application doesn't ask for.

There is no legal requirement to apply using an application form. You can write the application on a blank piece of paper and the HO can't refuse it because you didn't use an application form and didn't answer all the questions.

hi,

applied for EEA4 sept 15th got the payment letter BUT havent received my COA.

help pls
