Hi Gretta,

Gretta please contact UKBA to check if there are any transition exemptions.
Enquiries about regulation cahnges can be made in writing to the UKBA European Operational Policy Team by emailing EuropeanOperational@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk
There are so many changes in policy recently. They way that they have been done is very complicated with no simple links between the various rules and documents.
Your case is not easy to figure out because you did not enter UK on the EEA route.
You actually entered under UKBA rules.
So I'm not sure you can be counted in the EEA transitional exemptions.
Please let the forum know what UKBA tell you as there are other members in a similar route.
Good luck
