Successful EEA family permit for extended family member

[andes66]

Dear Lovely People,

Thanks so much for your excellent support and helping out several of us with timely advise!

I would like to ask whether I can apply for EU settled scheme for my parents who are from a Non-EU country?

My wife is an EU citizen with a settled status. We have been living in the UK over the last 10 years and I have recently naturalised and obtained British citizenship.


Many thanks in advance again


Best wishes

Yes you can apply, your wife will be the sponsor, dependency is assumed so no additional paperwork require to prove dependency ! Hope that helps

Thanks Saima; I checked EEA family permit. It took me more than a hour to complete. If you are applying for your extended family members i.e. brother or sister in laws or their children then you must apply for the EEA family permit before tonight's 11 PM deadline

All the best
