RETURN EEA RESIDENCE CARD TO UK IMMIGRATION AUTHORITIES

[frontliner]

I will be grateful f someone could help mee n the following matter.

In February 2016 I applied for EEA Residence Card, which was ultimately granted to me in
November 2016. I got the residence card based on the Surinder Sigh case i.e. Spouse of a British citizen who has exercised his treaty rights of free movement in the REPUBLIC OF IRELAND. Although the residence card was granted to me in November 2016, but before that I along with
my British spouse left the UK after enrolling my biometric in the UK. We stayed in the UK for short time and went back to Ireland and started living there again. Now I have
become an Irish citizen and hold an Irish passport. I have come to live in the UK. I want to apply for the settled status in the UK. I have been advised by my friend to return my EU-Residence card to UK Immigration and ask them to close my file for EU re3sidence card. But I do not know how to do it, please advise.

Perhaps friend can give you the relevant web site link and share it here?
Over the years I haven't seen any query on this? I certainly never returned anything.

I have an Irish friend and also from what I've read, Irish citizens automatically hold settled status when they are in the UK (can work, study, start business, have social and welafre benefits, etc) and same for British citizens in Ireland.

You may want to contact them to close your EEA card application file but I do not think you need to apply for any kind of leave
