My email:
INIS response:This is further to the EU1A application in relation to dependent family
members of an EEA national. I am Irish national and reside in UK. Upon
returning to Ireland, as per guidance, I will be treated as an EEA national
for purposes of bringing my dependent family members who are residing with
me in UK. They are in possession of Residence Cards of an EEA family
member.
As per guidance, I need to demonstrate their dependence on me. This was
done and promulgated at the UK Immigration Tribunal, as the consequence of
which my parents received their UK-issued residence cards. Therefore, they
have been clearly dependent on me in order to satisfy their issuance and
entry into UK. My query is whether the same dependence needs to be
demonstrated for the period of their post-entry into UK. As members of my
household they are entitled to work and I want to know if this would impede
their acceptance as my dependent family members for purposes of returning
to Ireland.
If you are claiming that your parents are dependent on you, you must
demonstrate this in Ireland.
The fact that they have been recognised in the UK has no bearing on the
application.
If your parents intend to work in Ireland, then they cannot be regarded as
dependent.
