Does my naturalisation affect my non EEA parents?

[Samelamin]

Hi

I am a non EEA family member currently on a permanent residence, my wife is a EU national who also holds a PR. Both of which were issued mid 2017. I have also been the sole provider for my non EEA parents for the past 2 years. I have evidence of funds being sent to them consistently during this time


My question is fairly simple but I cannot find an answer online.

In the event that I obtain a British citizenship while my wife remains as an EU national exercising treaty rights. Does it revoke the rights of my parents who are technically dependant on us and as such EEA family members?

If I become a BC, does that revoke their rights under EU law? or do they still remain dependant family members since their situation did not change

Can any of the admins post any advice on this?

Any one can help on this at all?

I am no expert in this area or have any experience either but first question would be where are your parents based? If I read this correctly they are in your home country? Your wife is an EU citizen with yourself as family member.

Thanks but this is document does not indicate whether the rights change if the direct son (myself) gets citizenship while the EU national(my wife) remains exercising treaty tights

Hello Admins

Can you help ?

There is a reason why nobody is answering your question; nobody knows (for sure anyway).

Lounes (which was only recently decided) may have a role to play, but this kind of an issue may require a law case (quite expensive at the best of times) to wind its way through the court systems here and possibly in Europe before a certain answer can be produced.

What we can do on these forums is speculate based on our limited knowledge of the law, but it would be just that; speculation.

Also see thread on almost identical question that did not come to any specific conclusion.

Yes I had that impression that its a difficult question to answer

Thank you for the link, I shall read up on it

However in the event that I do apply I will update this thread let people know the outcome
