Did Not attend interview

[ebefo]

I know it sounds weird but it was not my fault; we were invited for an interview but due to unforeseen circumstances my wife had to stay back in her home country so we could not attend the interview, we sent a scanned copy of her granny's death certificate and a certified translated copy to the HO, now we got email that our case has been forwarded to a case worker for decision.

What chances have we got, considering the paragraph in the EU regulation that allows absence of the eea sponsor for 1 year in rear cases ?

#Continuity of residence
