Obie. Again, please excuse my ignorance. What is article 8? I think, under the circumstances we will complete the following sections: SECTION 1 – APPLICANT’S DETAILS - ok SECTION 3 – YOUR EEA NATIONAL FAMILY MEMBER (Me) - ok Ignore SECTION 4 – RETAINED RIGHT OF RESIDENCE IN THE UK (N/A) Ignore SECTI...

Thanks guys.

Really really worried now. It is a pity (for us) that the Surinder Singh section was added to the EEA4, since previously when that section wasn't included I imagine the application would have been processed the same way as the EEA2 application which caused us no problems.

Cheers

Obie. It was not for a Cypriot company and I was not paying Cyprus tax. I don't receive a pension from Cyprus only my UK state pension. What is regulation 9? What is Sing and Eind? Please forgive my ignorance. Could you please expand on what you mean by 'intend to rely on community law directly'. Ja...

Obie. No. I was resident in Cyprus and working self-employed on a contract basis in the Far East. At the time I was actually not resident in UK for tax purposes.

Thanks for taking the time and trouble to read my outpouring.

Now I am very worried. Moreover I am annoyed at this unnecessary worry since I believe at the time we complied with all the requirements. Whilst we lived in Cyprus (me being retired and my wife not working) we applied for 3 EEA Family Permits (VAF5). The purpose of the visit on each occasion was to ...

Thanks for that Jambo. Next question! Section 6.1 asks :Has your UK national family member exercised treaty rights as a worker or self-employed person in another EEA member state? The options are: Yes - as a worker, Yes - as a self-employed person, or No. I was retired and self sufficient. Doesn't s...

Advice on EEA4 application

Hopefully this will be an easy question for you 'experts' to answer. I haven't been around for some time, not since we received our EEA2. During that time the advice received on this forum was invaluable. Background: I am British, my wife is Indonesian. We were married in UK and went to live in Cypr...

Expert advice required please.

I am British, my wife is Indonesian. We married in UK when my wife was granted a 2 year ILE permit. We then moved to Cyprus where we both obtained residency. During the time we were in Cyprus I returned to UK with my wife on a Family Visit Permit a number of times. Last year we decided to leave Cypr...

'Final Stages, Finalisation Department

Does anyone here know, having been told that their application is in the final stages or with the finalisation department, whether this means that the application for RC has been approved and is awaiting dispatch? It seems that it is only recently that applicants are being told this and I am now beg...

Just telephoned UKBA.
6 months up yesterday. Was told the RC is in it's final stages and will be issued as a stand-alone document very soon.

Stress level is now lowered slightly. Just waiting to see how long finalisation will take.

Thanks for that Vinny. I have just viewed the latest VAF5 on-line and it is more comprehensive than ever - some 18 pages. The EU directive states that family members cannot be asked to provide proof of accommodation, means of subsistence etc. All that is required is a passport and a document establi...
