Home Office Guide
Processes and procedures: EEA documentation applications – v3.0 Published for Home Office staff on 08 October 2015
link is below
Page 8 talks about using previous forms or just writing a letter.
Also Every section has this quote:this particular one is from PR section on page 19, but it is the same on all other sections (find section for your case and check)An EEA(PR) form can be used to submit an application. However, you must not refuse or reject an application because it is not on the right form. A letter requesting a document certifying permanent residence or permanent residence card, or an application made on one of the previous forms (EEA3 or EEA4), is acceptable as long as:
the correct fee is submitted with the application
the applicant gives their biometric information if they are a non-EEA national applying
on or after 6 April 2015
I spoke recently to EEA applications team about this and something else as I am not a strait forward case and asked them if I included printout of their own guides and rules, would I come across as patronising.
The guy I spoke to told me that if I phoned for an advice, that is exactly what he would advised me to do. Print relevant pages, point out the source and highlight sections concerning you.
He said that makes officers jobs much easier and they appreciate if you don't just presume they will know EVERYTHING...(weather they should be aware of their own rules and policies is question for another discussion)
But anyway, don't bother with the new form, its too long, too intrusive (why would anyone want to know what language my KIDS speak at home is beyond me) and if you feel confident about your case, just use the old, simpler form and send them a copy of the guideline that says you can do that.
Oh, yes, very important !!! make sure you include the correct fee (currently £65 I believe) and biometrics pages from the new form.

Hope this helps

You originally posted in a thread about the EEA PR card.... already his FP was refused for marriage of convenience then i reapplied with all the evidence which i left out in first application plus quoted legal rights etc as we were living together abroad for over a year since marriage so he was finally granted FP.....
now we wish to apply for residence card for him ...

That is different from a RC.
You say husband has recently arrived in UK on FP.
So he probably needs a RC as he can't have acquired PR yet.
I think you have been struggling with wrong form.
That is a good reason not to tag onto other people's posts - it causes confusion.
So I think you were looking at wrong form.
In any case section 10 of PR form only applies to someone on Surinder Singh route; this is a complex manouvere in the EU migration journey and does not seem to apply to you.
A PR card is useful although optional. You may not have had one if you acquired PR a year or so ago..
However there is a complication.
If you have just become a BC then you will not considered to be an EEA national in UK.
That means you cannot sponsor a dependent family member under EU rules.
That raises questions over husband's right to reside & work/study in UK.
It will help if you clarify:
- your previous (dual) nationality?
how/when you naturalised?
when did you apply for FP for husband?
when was FP granted?
when did husband arrive in UK?
PR form is inappropriate at this time.ukasha wrote:Hi yess i believe i was on the wrong place
Yeah i meant the RC for my husband
I acquired naturalisation about 3 years ago and have British passort
Applied for fm and got it in Nov 2015 from abroad as i was living with my husband for over a year after marriage in pakistan
We came here after his fm in end November
I have a job and been working for three months now so we now want to apply for his RC.
So you are saying i can leave out the section 10 about sponsor resident status....that won't result in them refusing?
Also in regards to my dual nationality apparently as i have had exercised my treaty rights here and free movement rights when moved here in 2003 so it shouldn't matter for husband's RC
So i can use old eea2 form and include right fee and biometric info?
Thanks a lot for your help

RC form is correct form not the PR form.
I don't know what form you are looking at so section numbers don't mean much.
You have not done Surinder Singh so skip any section/question about SS.
Do not skip questions about sponsor.
You do not have to use latest form, you can use earlier/simpler forms.
However you may now only claim to be an 'EEA national' under a transitional arrangement - its not automatic even if you were in UK in 2003.
If you were not married to your husband at the relevant time (before 2012) & husband did not have RC (in or before 2012) then my understanding is this cannot be invoked.
So you are now a BC only.
This still doesn't really make sense.
When applying for FP did you apply as sponsor as a BC or EEA national?
Did you mention dual nationality & your new ciizenship?
It's unclear how you were granted a FP for entry under EU rules.
On other hand, if husband entered UK under UK rules (& entry visa?) its too late to switch to EU rules (as you are British)..
What is your other nationality?ukasha wrote:Yh we applied for fp as EEA family member
It does not matter if i have dual nationality as i have lived in both countries and not just UK so therefore exercised my free movement rights therefore i can use the EEA route
Also in RC application form section 10 is about sponsor if sponsor has permanent residence in UK then it asks how acquired etc five years completion etc student, employment etc but i guess it's less complicated if i use previous form form his RC and include right fee and details in cover letter
Also how do I provide his biometric information as for his FP eea it was not required
Ref https://eumovement.wordpress.com/2012/0 ... y-british/This rule also has significant implications for any EU citizen who decides to naturalize as a British citizen.
Once naturalized, EU free movement law will no longer apply to their family members.
Any family member will be required to enter the UK on the basis of traditional British law.

2.9 Do they currently hold, or have they ever held, any other nationality or citizenship
