Dependent ? and 21 years old

Post by IIE49 » Thu Nov 17, 2011 2:59 pm

I am looking for some guidance regarding the requirement of qualifying as dependent when moving to the UK as a non-EEA.
My son is in Canada and is 21. I live and work in the UK and would like him to join me. I would be providing him with a home etc, but would like him to gain employment. I have Irish Citizenship.
I am unclear from what I have read if he will have the right to live in the UK under a EEA Family Permit.
Any advise would be appriciated.

The dependant child has to be under 21.

Is he dependent on you?

Dependent ? 21

Thank you for the references. I am still a little fuzzy on this. Does the requirement imply that he is currently dependent on me while he is living in Canada? If that is the case I cannot make that claim.
He would be dependent in the UK and I would be living with me and working or continuing his education.

There is also the possibility to apply on the basis that your son is an OFM: http://eumovement.wordpress.com/2008/04 ... ficiaries/

What citizenship does he have?

Does your son meet the requirements of the UK ancestry visa? http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas ... -ancestry/

There are some other options too...

No unfortunately he does not seem to qualify for a UK Ancestry visa. I have Irish Citizenship through my Grandfather who was born in Belfast about 1900, but his children including my mother were all born in Canada. No other grandparents were born in the UK.

Your son can move to the UK on a working holiday visa: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas ... ityscheme/

Your son can also move to Germany on the basis of the same program: http://www.ottawa.diplo.de/Vertretung/o ... seite.html

These are great programs. I would personally recommend Germany. Lots going on there and lots of options for work. Plus it is a fun place to live. http://www.experience-germany.ca

Have you looked into whether your son can get Irish citizenship through the foreign birth registry? It depends on when you did your FBR registration.
If you did it before your son was born then he can register as an Irish citizen through FBR, theres no limit how many generations Irish citizenship can be pased down,as long as the FBR registration is done before the next generation is born. Have a look at the link below
