Hi, I am currently applying for an EEA family permit to come back into the UK on behalf of my wife. I am British She is Chinese. I was working in Ireland for 2 years but was then involuntarily unemployed and claiming benefit for 10 months at the end while looking for work. We are applying through the surinder singh case. I phoned the Immigration helpline and the woman on the phone said point blank that as I was claiming benefit, the application will be refused because I was a burden on the state and therefore not exercising my treaty rights. Is this correct, and if not, what should I quote in the application to make it clear that I was exercising treaty rights?
thanks
