So for one person £65+£19.20= £84.20

But I'm not sure how system work if you apply from the U.S.. Worth contact British embassy there for more information about the process and fees .

Can you please point me to the regulation or case that suggest so?
My view is, surely bank statement transaction history isn't the only to show family member dependency. Is it? I can prove my parent depend on me without having a present to bank details to HO, whether that is good enough for them I don't know. I will wilfully provide my bank details to HO if it is absolution required according to regulations for eea application not because some guideline say so.

"Family member" means:
(a) the spouse;
(b) the partner with whom the Union citizen has contracted a registered partnership, on the basis of the legislation of a Member State, if the legislation of the host Member State treats registered partnerships
as equivalent to marriage and in accordance with the conditions laid down in the relevant legislation of the host Member State;
(c) the direct descendants who are under the age of 21 or are dependants and those of the spouse or partner as defined in point (b);
(d) the dependent direct relatives in the ascending line and those of the spouse or partner as
defined in point (b)

The court concluded that those direct family members who must show dependency on the EEA national (that is, direct descendants over 21, or dependent relatives in the ascending line) do not have to show they were dependent upon them before they came to the UK.

So, unlike extended family members, these direct family members only need to show they are dependent on the EEA national in the UK in order to be considered to be a dependent direct relative of an EEA national.

The conclusion of the judgment is that as Article 2(2) does not specify when the dependency has to have arisen there is no warrant to read into it the restriction that the family member must have been dependent in the country of origin. This interpretation accords, as the court says, with the 'policy of the Directive to strengthen and simplify the realisation of realistic free movement rights of Union citizens compatibly with their family rights'.

As a result of Pedro, the position of dependent relatives in the ascending line (and presumably for dependent relatives in the descending line as the wording in the Directive is the same) is that they simply have to show dependency as a matter of fact. The ECJ case law the status of dependent family member is the result of a factual situation characterised by the fact that material support for that family member is provided by the Community national or the spouse who has exercised free movement rights. The status of dependence does not presuppose the existence of a right of maintenance and the status is not lost if the family member claims and receives benefit.
