EEA4 form - confusion with section 4.17

[ran]

Hi all,

Hope your weekend is going well.
I was hoping to get some advice regarding a question on the EEA4 application form which has created some confusion.

It is concerning section 4.17 and 4.18 of the form and the point of contention is as follows:

a) Is section 4.17 to be filled up by the non-EEA applicant.

If so:

b) What is to be filled in section 4.18. From the instructions pertaining to section 4.18 that there is an implication that section 4.17 is to be filled up for EEA national family member.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.

Regards,
ran

Section 4 is for PR following a retention of rights. Is this relevant to your case?

Both 4.17 and 4.18 should be filled in by the applicant (non EEA national) and provide evidence how they (the non EEA national) are "exercising treaty rights" as if they were EEA national (because they have retained their rights).

Jambo, many thanks for your reply.

The person who came for advice (to our advice place) did state that he was divorced and as such would need to fill up section 4.
