Read the Pedro case - http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWCA/Civ/2009/1358.html - which states family members do not have to be dependant in country of origin. Also read the lebon case, it established claim to benefits does not automatically sever the dependency, read it here - http://eur-lex.europa.eu...

I second Obie's comments, although in a way I would suggest that they remain in-country and remain if here if they pursue an appeal, that way they can attend the hearing! They are of course allowed to be here until appeal rights are exhausted. They would be best obtaining their own legal advice in a...

An EEA2 application attracts a fee of £55, I would suggest going ahead, don't forget their appeal continues even if they leave the UK. If you continue to support them when they have left the UK and the appeal is pending you can produce that evidence of continued support even though it post dates the...

Dependency does not have to be proved if they are members of the household and that can be in the UK. If they were extended family members that would be a different matter, but they are direct family members and members of the household in the host state, the Pedro case sums it up well - http://www...

You need to wait until the 5th Anniversary of your marriage. As he never made an EEA application whilst you and him were living together and un-married he cannot claim to have been recognised as a family member of an EEA national prior to date of marriage.

If your mother and father are living with you and your wife in the UK and your wife is an EEA national with PR, they can apply in-country for EEA Residence Cards as dependant direct family members in the ascending line. They are not extended family members, that is for other less close relations suc...

Not entirely clear from the post what has been happening, but from the limited information I would suggest considering the children (or rather you on their behalf) simply registering as British citizens.

If she remains in the UK you can make the return trip from India on your own to join her again in UK (provided she has been there for less than three months or if longer is exercising treaty rights )

It is always possible to reapply for a Family Permit and try to address the reasons for previous refusal, after all the dependency issue should relate to a period in advance of the live application, and the dependency period that was looked at by the tribunal and ECO is presumably some time agao now...

Your solicitor makes a valid point, as the application you have made involves the exercise of the secretary of state's discretion and she can undertake a wide examination of all the circumstances. I would expect you may win at appeal on the basis of the length of the relationship but the decision ma...

Family permit expiration is only in relation to entry clearance and its 'expiry' will not prejudice her lawful residence in UK.

Where does it say in documents that EU citizens who work in UK (but do not have permanent residence yet) cwill still be able to use NHS for free? The way they all put it is that you only can use NHS for free if you are UK citizen or PR. About EU citizens it says they will need to show their EHIC ca...

Don't forget that if EEA family member is accompanying the non-EEA national to the UK, the EEA national does not need to be a qualified person and the family permit should be granted.

Hi Premo I know this is an old post but i am in a similar situation and i was wondering how did it go? did you manage to bring your wife's sister in the UK any advice would be highly appreciated. You can contact me at gabriele.biotek@gmail.com Had a look at this old post too. The other option would...

I think this was the story - I can't see how it can effect family members of EEA nationals. http://beta.bbc.co.uk/news/health-23156403 I wouldn't panic as yet. Don't forget also that the NHS as a single entity does not exist, there are four separate heath services, one for each constituent country ...

Hi all I've heard that there are going to be new fees for use of the NHS from April 2015. Does anyone have a link to this? As my partner is on the EEA route (still awaiting RC), I am very interested in whether or not I, as an Irish citizen working in the UK, will have to buy CSI for both myself and...

Glad to hear that!

I don't find this guidance particulalry helpful - Note: To be able use User Pay Application Centres in your resident country, you will need to pay GBP 59 (equivalent to €74.95 ) . All other services offered are optional services provided for your comfort and convenience. point 12 from - http://www.g...

If you are applying for EEA family permit to come UK then it should be issued freely. You can apply online. See here. Thanks for that Sheraz. I suppose essentially I am asking then what is a teleperformance 'user pays' application centre, as opposed to a free application centre? and whether someone...

The Cyprus Visa Application Centre is a 'user pays' Teleperformance operation. Has anyone tried to make an EEA Family Permit application there without paying the 77 euro fee?

Currently takes around 14 weeks

Has anyone any experience of the Spanish issuing a residence card to 'other family members'? Can it happen?

The Spanish legislation as I read it does not mention 'other family members'

Well done! Hopefully no other stumbling blocks appear.

Good old Mr Kelly, his FOI responses are priceless! Is he a solicitor?and if so where is he based? I always go to see what's new with him on the website. It's good when people ask the right questions and make the response available for the benefit of all. I would have taken this same option a year ...
