Applying for EEA2 and EEA3 together

[mrlucifer]

Hi all,

Just wanted to understand what people think about applying for EEA2 and EEA3 together for me and my wife respectively.
I am making a EEA2 Residence Card application on the basis of my wife's EEA nationality. She is already a Permanent Resident based on having exercised treaty rights for over 5 years. So I'd like to know if we can send in both the applications together?

Since my wife is Self Employed, I'd need to fill in Section 7 of EEA2 form. The section states

If your EEA national family member has already acquired permanent residence, please provide either their document certifying permanent residence (if they have one) or evidence of how they acquired permanent residence, for example evidence of exercising Treaty rights for a continuous period of 5 years prior to the date at which they acquired permanent residence.

Can I just ask them to refer to the included EEA3 application?

thanks for your inputs.
