EEA 2 REFUSAL (SELF EMPLOYMENT)

Hello all,
Please I do need advice and also reports of anyone who has gone through this process.

Okay my story

Application made for a residence card via EEA 2 application on December 11th and my application was refused on 31st January 2014.
Reason for Refusal- whilst it is accepted that you EEA FAMILY member has been making regular N.I contributions they have not provided sufficient evidence that he/she is economically active in the united kingdom at the time of your application .

My wife was also refused Registration certificate.

My applications supporting documents are
- Marriage certificate
-6 Months Bank Statement
-HMRC National Insurance Contribution
-HMRC Corporation tax letter
-HMRC Online self assessments
- Accountant letter
-Company Reports and Accounts
-Invoices.

From what i can see UKBA does not understand my wife's company and how business is been conducted.This is because, in the 6 months bank statement I presented to them, it clearly shows payments to account generated via business activities.
Okay so they have given me right to appeal.. Which is better Oral or Written?? Has anyone got experience?

The documents you mentioned are sufficient to demonstrate self employment and almost the same is required as per the EEA2 RC form too (see page 18 of 29). Apart of appealing the decision you can ask for reconsideration too.

Thanks for the reply. I will ask them to reconsider and highlight business activities on bank statement. I want to appeal, what is better oral or written?
