Thanks, I sent off the EEA3 and EEA4 forms this afternoon.

What is the current waiting times on these?

Thanks Kitty I have completed the EEA3 and EEA4 forms and sent them this afternoon. I used the 'Self Sufficient' treaty right and stated that 'comprehensive sickness insurance' isn't required because as a worker my spouse also has a right to NHS treatment. I hope it works. The best thing I can do ...

Hi guys, thanks very much for your input, but I have to make a decision by early afternoon today (31 July) so that I can send the forms in by special delivery. Should I go for permanent residency by sending in forms EEA3 and EEA4; or go for EEA2 (the safe option). I appreciate all the advice given ...

This seems rather strange considering the large national insurance contributions I've been ma ...

I've spoken to someone on the phone number displayed on the EEA4 form and they have said that I would have to select the option 'Self Sufficiency', but comprehensive sickness insurance is required. Even though I'm making National Insurance payments. She also said that if I sent the form in and it ...

I understand everything you guys are saying, but why are the forms EEA3 and EEA4 written in such a way that it implies that I don't qualify. I'm filling them out now and have had to write many side notes because I can't fill in the boxes in section 4 correctly with my circumstances. If my ...

The problem is, I can't see how I can complete section 4 of form EEA4 correctly, because my wife hasn't been in employment for 5 years and we have never had private medical insurance so can't use the ‘Economic self-sufficiency’ criteria. Also there must be a reason that the EEA4 form has been cha ...

My situation: 1) I have a New Zealand passport and will have lived in the UK for 7 years on 16th August 2008. 2) The first 2 years were on a working holiday visa and the next 5 years were on a residence card issued as a Non-EAA family member of an Italian (my wife) who has resided in the UK for over ...
