yes this sounds like the crypto-facist home office. Oh and by the way, by law you are required to be able to produce your passport otherwise you are an illegall imigrant, but of course the home office will have burried it in a peat bog for six months.

I may be misleading you but.... I thought that 'EEA' refers to European Economic Area ie Norway Iceland Lichtenstein. These countries signed an agreement with the EU to co-operate in a single market but not be bound by the EU regulations.

This is, I suspect why EEA nationals have a conditional right as opposed to the rights granted to the people of the EC. Italy, being a founder member, should not be a problem. Generally I have found government helplines to be helpful so probably worth trying again.

Later you will need to swear an oath of Allegiance to
a) Her Majesty The Queen (or Geoff if he's nearby)
b) A Melton Mowbray Pork Pie
c) A Large bag of Chips
d) Whatever you feel like as long as it doesn't frighten children or horses.

I wish the Home Office wouldn't do that. I get frightened when people swear at me.

it is a separate entity: EEA = EU + Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway ( ... )
