What type of residency card did you apply for? is it under EU law or national rules.

Family members of EEA nationals are not usually asked to fill method of entry questionnaire.

You have to write and inform them, that according to Metock Ruling, it does not matter what means you entered the UK through. Such information are not required for the issuance of Resident Card application.

You only need your passport, passport or ID card of your EEA sponsor, Evidence that your EEA sponsor is exercising treaty right in the UK. Proof of resident should be estabilished in so far as satisfying themselves you are in the UK, and not a condition of resident. There is no requirement that you should have a bank account and you don't need to fill in the method of entry questionnaire.

Also, your solicitor would need to argue under a ruling called Diata, that member state cannot demand that family members be living in the same household. The only information they are to be furnished with, is your marriage certificate and evidence that your wife is exercising treaty rights in the UK.

Again, there is no requirement that you and the EEA national should be living in the same household, therefore bills in both of your names should not be demanded for the issuance of resident card.

elvina,

What is your and your spouses citizenship?

What were you applying for?
