EEA FP approved once, going to apply again

Hi everyone,

I had my EEA FP approved once and I went to the UK on 27 Nov 2015 until 26 May 2016 just before it's expired. I didn't apply for Residence Card yet because I had to return to my country (Indonesia) that time due to some family matters. However, now I'm going to apply for EEA FP again from Jakarta.

I am Indonesian and my husband is Bulgarian who has been living and working in London since 2009. We were married in 2015. I have 2 questions:

1. Is it possible to submit my EEA FP application without bank statements? Last time I submit them because I had more than £5000 on my account but now is not the case so I prefer not to submit it.

2. When I was in London under EEA FP, I was working for part-time because the employer said that I am eligible to work. In which honestly I am a bit concerned about the rights to work under EEA FP. Now in my application I will submit my National Insurance number, in which they will be able to check my working history there. Will that become an issue?

Thank you in advance.

Looking forward for the responses.

Thanks, noajthan. That's relieving. :)
What about bank statements? Is it okay if I don't submit the bank statements with my application this time? I will only submit my EU husband's pay slips to show that he is working and a qualified person.

That's cool if it's not mandatory. I realized it is listed on the supporting documents guide but it does says optional for us to decide which documents needed to be submitted. Thanks, cmnandes! :)
