Hi all, I would like all you good people on here to advice me and possibly also make clear to me some not so clear rules. My current residence card of a family member of an EEA national runs out in January and I would like advice on my best possible next route of application. At the moment am thinking three possible application route, but before I list my options I will provide a history of my Visa's to date.
Entered the country with a visiting Visa : 5 July 2003
Had my visa extended after I got married 2 Oct 2003 to 31 Jan 2007
Student Visa 14 mar 2007 to 30 sept 2007
Student Visa 11 Jan 2008 to 31 Oct 2009
Residence card of a family member of an EEA national 28 Jan 2010 to 28 Jan 2015
Option 1
Apply for EEA4 after 5 years but my problem is am no longer dependent on my EEA family member and am not sure applying for EEA4 will yield a success story.
Option 2
Apply for SET(LR) under long residence 10 years on my merits but at this point in time my understanding is my that EEA period won't count towards my previous years in the country which will make my 10 years application invalid?
Option 3
Apply for AN under 5 years rule. I don't know anybody that has applied using this route and am not sure what the success rate is.
Those are the 3 options am looking at and I would like all you good people to advice me on the best possible option, Thank you all for your time in advance.
