Do you have permanent residence? If not, on what basis have you and your sister remained in the UK? Her residence card would have become invalid as soon as you lost your EEA sponsor.

Your sister needs to apply for FLR(M) as the spouse of a settled person.

Wait for confirmation on whether she can submit this from within the UK as her right to reside through dependency appears to no longer be valid..

That is not correct. If she retained her right of residence, then her sister too will be able to do so.

Thanks Casa,
She has a full time employment now' the husband too is working full time, do they have the right to submit the application? Also She has never stay as illegal in the UK. Will the Home office consider the number of years(three and half) she has spend legally in the Uk. Is she qualify to use the 2 year route on the FLR(M). You contribution is highly regarded.
Thanks

Her immigration clock will be re-set to zero and FLR(M) will be a 5 year route to ILR (2.5 x 2.5 years).

She can submit the application but there's no guarantee that the Home Office won't decide that she needs to apply from outside of the UK.

[Palor]

Can anyone else give advise on the above.

There is no two year route. ILR clock will be set to zero and she will need to remain married for the full 5 years after she applies for FLR (M).

[Palor]

Sorry the above is FLR(M)

[CR001]

Can someone help me in the supporting document She need to submit with the FRL(M) application?. The form lists what HO want to see, payslips, bank statements, employment letter, etc. Read through the form, Appendix SE-FM and guidance notes carefully

Also does she need to lawyer to it the sort of application or herself? No need for a lawyer, not a difficult application and free help available here on the forum.
Your advise is highly regarded.

Sister could only use past time in UK if she maintains her momentum on EU trajectory if she has indeed retained right of residence (as you have done).

If switching to UK Regs suggest husband becomes involved.
Both parties should get up to speed with FLR guidance.
They still need to dig into question of applying from in or out of UK.

Many members do manage such applications without a lawyer or other legal representative.
However do be aware of possible challenges in switching Regulations.
For example, see:

Topics merged. Please keep all your questions on this application in a single topic (this one).

They can use combined earnings and will have to provide payslips and bank statements for both of them to prove it.

[Obie]

I am not sure the answer to the question has changed.

She cannot switch to FLR(M) from within the UK.
