EEA Permit superseded by biometric residence permit

Post by kamransh » Sat Nov 08, 2014 11:02 am

Hi,
I was on EEA permit based on a family member of a EEA national for 2 years (3 years remaining). I recently applied for ILR based on 10 years stay in UK. I have now received my ILR however HO have stamped 'LEAVE SUPERSEDED BY BIOMETRIC RESIDENCE PERMIT'

Now, EEA permit allowed me to travel visa free with my wife but now as I have ILR aswell does that mean my EEA permit is cancelled? Reading through the EEA rules it seems like EEA permit is given based on EU regulations rather than UK so how can HO supersede it when it is not a leave.

Would I now need to apply for a visa to travel to EU?


Your help is appreciated.

thanks

@kamrnash
Yes its mistake and caseworker repeating that mistake for the last many cases, they shouldn't cancel eea2 RC for visa free entry to EU countries. But after one year when you get red passport then you can again travel anywhere :D
