why is it that i have to use a seperate form set (o) for my stepson who's just turned 18, as i take it the gov see him no longer as a child.

yet ' EEA nationals intending to exercise Treaty rights as a student are entitled to bring in their family members for the initial period of residence (i.e. first three months.) After that period only the student’s spouse or civil partner and their dependent children under the age of 21 are entitled to remain. Other family members may fall to be treated as “extended family members”. '

then why is it EEA nationals can bring to the uk 'their dependent children under the age of 21' - so european law a child is under 21 why not 18 ?

talk about discrimination again...
and i thought one of European union aims was to fight ageism and discrimination.
