EEA3, EEA4 application

[wisemen]

Hi,

I am a French citizen and I have been in the UK (working fulltime) since Jan, 04. I am here with my non-EU wife, son. First, we had a one year visa when we moved from France. And after that we were on 5-years family permit.
Now it runs out in Nov.
1. So, I will be applying using EEA3 for PR and my non-EU family will be using the EEA4 form. Am I right?
2. Liverpool or Croyden? Which is quicker? I think we sent our forms to Croyden in 04 for the 5 year permit and their reply was very prompt.
3. Also can I apply for both in-person. I am in Birmingham. UKBS informed me that croyden doesnt do EEA4 in person. Any other office in Midlands? And what r the fees?

EDIT - There is a public office in Solihull. But on UKBA website, on one page it says that EEA citizens cant apply in those 7 public offices, and on another it says that you can. I am confused.
Also, I thought for EEA nationals and their non-EEA family there was no fee to pay. We never did. But on website it says you do.

@Mods - This is one of the best forums on the net. I hope to be a regular. Keep up the good work.

1. Yes.
2. Liverpool. There is no choice.
3. For the EEA it used to be in Croyden, not possible for the non-EEA.

Have a look at http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/eucit ... ropeanlaw/

ty, sir
3. So, if croyden cant deal with non-EEA, can Solihull or other offices?

I have been browsing ukba site to no avail.

4. Also, do we have to pay any fees?

hi,
there is no other option for non EEA national other than sending application to liverpool and there is no fees under EEA law.
