She needs to be dependent on you to apply for the Settlement Scheme:cheesemungo wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2019 6:08 pmI applied for a EEA family permit for her outside UK three years ago but it was refused by Home Office saying that she was not wholly depending on me and I left it at that (no appeal or further application to Home Office).
If you’re a family member of an EU, EEA or Swiss citizen
You can apply if you’re in a relationship with an EU, EEA or Swiss citizen as their spouse, civil partner or unmarried partner.
You can also apply if you’re related to an EU, EEA or Swiss citizen, their spouse or civil partner as their:
child, grandchild or great-grandchild under 21 years old
dependent child over the age of 21
dependent parent, grandparent or great-grandparent
dependent relative
What is her full UK immigration history?I went to UK with my mom for holiday last year. We were stopped in London Airport for 20 mins because they mentioned to me that my mom has an immigration history
There is an equivalent FP for the settlement Scheme that she can apply for abroad, but she needs to be eligible as stated above (e.g. your dependent):if my mother (non visa national) fly in with or without me to UK, can she apply for the EU settlement scheme without any residence permit issued to her prior?
No, as long as she is now eligible, she can apply de nuovo.Will her EEA family permit three years ago create a problem for the EU settlement scheme application?
If she does not already have a biometric card she will not be able to apply using the Android app. She will need to fill her applicaiton online, then send documents by post.Also, I read something in the Home Office website stating that my mother will need to have her biometric info taken with application as well. How long does it take to get an appointment for the biometric info once if I submit the application via android phone?
That's what I understand, but different people get asked different documents. There are a number of ongoing threads where people are sharing this information.Does she need to submit her passport for the EU settlement scheme to the Home Office?
This makes no sense. If you mother is genuinely dependent on you she should apply for a FP. A visitor visa is not the right way to entry the UK if he intention is to stay.cheesemungo wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2019 3:03 pmTherefore, I was thinking if my mother enter as a visitor and staying with me, will she get into trouble after she enter and apply for the EU Settlment Scheme.
EU Settlement Scheme family permit
You can apply for an EU Settlement Scheme family permit to come to the UK if all of the following apply:
you’re from outside the European Economic Area (EEA)
you’re the ‘close’ family member of an EEA or Swiss national (excluding UK nationals)
the EEA citizen you’re joining has ‘settled’ or ‘pre-settled’ status under the EU Settlement Scheme
the EEA citizen you’re joining is in the UK already or travelling with you to the UK within 6 months of the date of your application
de novo = from scratch / again"No, as long as she is now eligible, she can apply de novo."
What is de novo?
I do not have 1st hand experience on this. Ask in another topic or check if a similar question has already been asked in the many forums dealing with Settled status applications.They have this free of charge settlement service for document scan in my local authority area. I wonder if I take my mother to scan her passport and other document, will Home Office let my mother keep the passport during the process of application?
Hi Lululuna,
Hi Lululuna,Lululuna wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2019 4:38 pmIt seems so. I'm waiting for my settled status and then I'll apply for my mum.
Check this guidance https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... ly-permits
"You must be satisfied, including by the required evidence of family relationship, that
the applicant is the direct relative in the ascending line of the relevant EEA citizen or
of their spouse or civil partner (see family members of a relevant EEA citizen). This
includes a grandparent or great-grandparent. Their dependency on the relevant EEA
citizen or on the spouse or civil partner is assumed, and the applicant is not required
to provide evidence of this"
I have some questions myself like whether I need to show my financial circumstances. But until people start applying there is no way to know.
Hi Lululuna
My mum got it and she did not submit any evidence of money transferspranab0077 wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2019 7:58 pmHi Lululuna
In light of the new EU Settlement Scheme Family permit,it's said that ''Their dependency on the relevant EEA
citizen or on the spouse or civil partner is assumed, and the applicant is not required
to provide evidence of this''.
I am also looking to get further info if anyone has applied for non-eea parents and the evidence haven't been
required in that case.
Pls, share your experience.
Yes, there was a box about dependency evidence we had to tick in the online form (there were two of them actually, identical ones). They were under optional documents but we had to select both as without doing so, we couldn't go to the next step of the form. We submitted a support letter where I explained why we had to select this box and that actually we won't provide any dependency confirmation as it is not required for parents.cheesemungo wrote: ↑Fri Apr 26, 2019 12:15 pmHi Lululuna,Lululuna wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2019 4:38 pmIt seems so.

I spoke to the EU Settlement unit. I applied for my pre-settle status and they are looking for my passport. I am overseas at the moment and will be back into the country next month, so I cannot do anything about my status until next month. Anyway, I gone to the "https://visas-immigration.service.gov.u ... -selection" and try to do a sample application for my mother prior to the actual application. At the very end of the application, it was looking for dependency document such as money transfer etc.
I know in link you provided in last post mentioned that dependency is assumed for close family. I have doubt about this because if it is assumed, why would they still looking for dependency document in the actual application? Anyway, if you have gone through the process for your parent, can you please share info so that I can try to do it as well when I actually getting my pre-settle status? Thanks again.
Hi Askmeplz82,askmeplz82 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 06, 2019 5:28 pmYour mom is non Visa national . She can enter the UK under U.K. immigration law and then apply for pre settlement if you are living in the UK . You are just lucky . Case worker made an exception because they can under Eu settlement
People who applied for pre settled or settled as an extended family member here in the UK need to show they are dependent on Eu national

At the end just in case I provided documents about my financial circumstances, a bank statement, a payslip, mortgage statement etc. To show I can support her in the UK.
Hope it helps.
Dear Lululuna,
Hi.

I just sent in the bank statements which showing all the transactions from my account to her account for the two years period.
Thanks Lululuna once again.It's really helpful seeing your experience.If we'd need any other que regarding the application,we'd post again.Lululuna wrote: ↑Tue Jun 11, 2019 8:22 amcheesemungo submitted bank statements with transfers. I didn't.
The only bank statement I submitted was my EEA husband's latest bank statement to show he receives his salary there (the money transfers to my mum happen from my account and we never submitted my bank statements). We did not provide any single piece of document to show money transfers to my mum and got the visa. So dependency is truly assumed and doesn't need to be proved even if it's hard to believe
