When did you apply for the visa? When did you do the biometric stuff? Did the embassy call you for an interview? If so exactly what did they say in the invitation and when was the interview? When did you receive the refusal? I submitted my application online on the 5th of August,and went for interv...

Nah Mate!U got the concept of the family permit wrong.It's not meant for only spouse/partner or unmarried partner of an E.U National residing in the U.K.It applies to those wishing to visit the U.K. Below is an excerpt from the UKBA site.
