Family member of EEA national, have permanent residence

[wisemen]

I am a family member of EEA national (German father), and came to UK 10 years ago (2 years before 2006 EC Treaty Right) and did my GCSE's and A-Levels here. I have permanent residence. I am now going to apply for Naturalisation and wanted to know whether I am required to fill out section 2.4 of the form (EEA nationals exercising EC treaty rights).
If I am required to fill out that section, I dont know what to write under "Please state on what basis you were in the UK for the last six years". "Basis of stay, for example, student, self-employed, self-sufficient, retired, incapacity".
Thing is, I came to the UK with my German father, who came to work here in 2004. I studied, then was self-sufficient for a few years (mainly self-taught programmer who was learning/studying in his own time and living with parents), and now been employed as a Software Engineer recently.

Apart from ticking the "Or a family member of an EEA national", I am not even sure if this section applies to me/us since we moved here before the 2006 Treaty.

Pls advise.

Basically, I am applying for naturalisation and wanted to know whether I have to go to the post office for biometric enrolment before I send the application form? Or is it after?

I don't have a BRP.


BTW I also recently got my driving licence renewed at the post office, and it was a biometric procedure, if that helps (I will be including my driving licence along with my application form anyways).

Once you submit your application, HO will write to you and you then take that letter to the post office to enroll your biometrics. The letter will have a specific barcode which is particular to your application.

thank you so much

It also says, "If you are not an EEA national, go to section 3"

I am not an EEA national, but I am a family member of an EEA national. So thats another reason why I think I shouldnt fill this section out.

Pls advise.

Since you attained your PR as a family member I believed you should fill the family member section and most importantly use your working history details for period of that 6yrs , if you choose studying after your PR they may start to request for CSI paper work.

Good luck

Filled out Form AN version 04/15, but just found out ver. 05/15 is out. Problem is referees have signed 04/15 and didnt want to ask them again and look a bit stupid.

Is this a problem? Can I apply with 04/15 version?

Thing is, I hadnt been working for years before I found employment a month ago (recession, change of career, learning software development whilst living with parents). I have obviously ticked the field where it asks whether I am a family member of an EEA national. But next line is, whether I am a EEA national, which I am not. "If you are not an EEA national, go to section 3"
And if I select no here, it says go to the next section and dont fill rest of EEA section (work, education, past 6 years, etc).

So, I am thinking its not required for me.

Pls don't waste your money.
You must send the latest version application
form to HO.

Please keep your queries regarding your naturalisation application under "one" topic.
