Hi there - this is exactly what has happened to me - see my post: http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=85918 - the problem is that i have been advised that so long as i have a job i am no longer a dependent and would therefore lose the right to my RC... but would this not fall foul of Reg 1612/68 - and in particular articles 10 and 11?nonspecifics wrote:Here is another situation but with perhaps the same result? :
The EEA national has a non-EEA adult dependent child over 21 in another country who is unemployed and penniless, so the EEA national parent brings him to the UK using Family Permit.
The dependent adult child does not apply for a Residence Card immediately because it is not compulsory in the UK and because he needs his passport with the Family Permit showing his right to work.
He is supported by the parent in the UK until eventually he finds a job, after many months, as he has a right to work and it is a normal part of life. Now he is earning his own income.
So he isn't a dependent child and so not a Family Member any longer.
Then, the situation becomes similar to the Original Poster.
But there are the rules regarding extended or other family members.
As I understand it, He still qualifies for a Residence Card due to Regulation 8 (2)(c) of the 2006 Regulations in the UK:
(c) the person satisfied the condition in paragraph (a), if he has joined the EEA national in the United Kingdom and continues to be dependent upon him or to be a member of his household."
Is this correct?
