Dear all,
My mother-in-law arrived in UK in 2000 & claimed asylum. It was refused & her appeal rights were exhausted.
In 2007, my wife & I immigrated to UK from Ireland & I started working as a Doctor. My wife, also an Irish citizen, is a house-wife. On arrival, we immediately applied for my mother-in-law's EEA2 application showing her as my dependent who lived with me & who was financially dependent on me. The HO's first letter asked for evidence of her relationship with her daughter (my wife). My wife, however, has never had a birth certificate (she was born in 1960's Pakistan...no paperwork back then!). Before we could even respond to the HO letter, we were pleasantly surprised to receive an approval of the EEA2 application & she was granted Residence Permit (in the form of an Immigration Status Document). This was back in February 2007. It was for 5 years.
Now, in Feb 2012, she would have been here in UK as my dependent for 5 years. We therefore want to apply for her EEA4 application. My main problem is:
1. How do I prove she is my wife's mother? (my wife does not have a birth certificate...she s never had 1!). Is there anything else we can send to prove that they are mother & daughter?
Also:
2. When is the earliest I can apply for her EEA4?
3. Once she is granted EEA4, when is the earliest she can apply for Naturalisation? Will she have to go through temporary citizenship etc? She is 67 years of age.
Thanks in advance every1. Would appreciate your assistance.
