One more thing that I'd like to share. I work with IT and as a contractor, with a daily rate. I currently use an Umbrella company for my payments. When we were first looking at the EEA2 form, I was in doubt if I should use the self employment or the employed section. I decided to fill the employed ...

I am the EEA citizen (Italy) and my wife, from Brazil, requested the EEA2 residence card. Application sent on the 10th/December/2012. Received by UKBA on the next day, 11th/December/2012.

Casa, thank you.

Is there any official communication about this matter (EEA's and the new rules)? The documents that I read weren't very clear about it.
