I have proof of relationship and the EEA national exercising treaty rights. The final proof of dependency is in the form of regular bank transfers (6 months of bank transfers). She is living with my parents, in their flat, however, she has recently become totally disabled, and they can't afford the medication etc.
In addition, they are thinking of either selling their 2 bedroom flat to buy a 1-bedroom flat or rent the second room out (it's isolated etc). In this case my granma would end up homeless, or I will have to pay my parents rent (which they wouldn't take) and this creates an awkward situation.
I know that the proof of dependency for the EEA application is lower than for the corresponding one under the National Immigration rules.
We have the following as proof of dependency:
1) Written Statement/Confirmation by myself and EEA national of financial support and intended continuing support once in the UK;
2) proof of my granma's pension- very low;
3) receipts for medication, showing that her pension can't cover it;
4) proof of my parents' income (pensioner father and teacher mum);
5) doctor's statement of my granma's disability;
6) 6 bank statements showing bank transfers during the period;
7) proof of ownership of the flat;
I am considering to submit the following in support-
statement by my mother of the intent to sell/rent the flat;9) EEA's document certifying permanent residence (but probably irrelevant);
I would appreciate your input if the application gets rejected, she's 78 and my EEA national hubby is a residential care worker by profession, so would be perfect to look after her in the UK. What is the appeal process, I will be flying back to the UK, but I will need to take back the original supporting docs, wouldn't want to leave them behind.
How long the appeal takes and, if so it happens we get the refusal, we would still continue to transfer the money, and keep trying to establish dependency by the follow-up applications as they are free anyway. The only downside is the woman is disabled and can't keep going to the embassy for the application forms etc, and the ILLEGAL requirement to provide biometric data.
Anyway, sorry for the long post, hope someone could advise on the dependency aspect.
Thanks in advance
