The advocate opinion is esentially saying that extended family members should be treated more favourably than those entering a Member State under its domestic Immigrations rules but by no means should residency rights be guaranteed.

Whilst an unmarried partner may succeed under the Singh Judgment it is a big fat no for other family members.

I don't think having a guarantee of issuing entrance or residence to partner/other extended family was ever the question. There is no entitlement for them because they are not family members but mere beneficiaries.

I am not sure how or where you deduced the Big Fat no from.

The totally goes against the whole logic of the Opinion.

The AJ states that the UK position that Surinder Singh applies to Family member alone cannot be sustained.

The Advocate General state the fact that Extended family member were not mentioned in Singh does not mean it is incapable of applying to them. It made the point that the questions asked relates to family member, and hence the answer received. That the UK cannot use the answer to a specific question asked as a basis for saying the scope is confined to the answer given.

Firstly there is no indication in the opinion that the scope is confined to unmarried partner, as the court was dealing with unmarried partner so it needed to mention unmarried partner, but it does not mean that dependents were excluded. Infact i am of the view that there are strong argument that all Extended family members are covered by it.

Well my view wasn't in the context that Singh doesn't apply to other family members. I was concerned with the advocate's opninon suggesting Member States have discretion on what factors to consider when examing their personal circumstances.

Whilst an unmarried partner in theory have more rights than say an Aunt or a sibling there will undoubtedly be more strict criteria in place for other family Members. At the end of the day it is up to HO if they grant residency rights or not to extended family members. So it doesn't look good for other family members.

I don't think an aunt who is dependent on an EU citizen or a brother dependent on an EU citizen will have less rights that a person in a durable relationship. I did not see anything in the opinion that indicates that such is the view of the court.

The relevant factors applies to every one.

The relevant factors may include, for example setting out in national law how long a durable relationship should have existed, the evidence to provided to demonstrate durable relationship, how long dependency or membership of an household has existed for, the strength of the relationship of the applicant to the EEA national. These are factors which the have a discretion to determine, and that is what the court appear to be indicating.

Further analysis of the Opinion in Banger.
COURT OF APPEAL ANALYSIS IN KHAN wrote:
46. Although it forms no part of my reasoning in reaching this conclusion, it appears to me that an appeal before a Tribunal is a preferable procedure in this context to judicial review. I have already indicated that the tool of judicial review has proved to be flexible, capable of being shaped to different levels of intensity and intrusive enquiry, depending on the matter in hand. However, the hearing of an appeal before a tribunal is probably somewhat better as a procedure for the intensive review of the facts required by Article 3(2) of the Directive and required on the part of the Secretary of State by Regulation 17(5).
When one looks at the views of the court of appeal in Paragraph 46, and the views of the Advocate general which appears to align indirectly with the views of the court of appeal, it is clear that there is a lot for extended family member to be hopeful of it the court adopt the opinion of the AG.

I agree. The view of the previous poster I believe is more pessimistic.

Opinion though doesn't mean anything for the Extended Family members going through the whole stress. The judgement of ECJ is 3 to 6 months away so the wait and misery continues.

Thank you for the reply, my appeal was not heard because of SALA but after the law changed it was allowed for hearing by UT. I believe Banger won't effect us. Good luck with your hearing, hopefully I will soon receive my letter for hearing date.

Hi guys. I need advice
I am non EU unmarried partner of Irish citizen
Applied 07.02.2017
Refused 22.06.17
Appealed 06.07.17
In 2 weeks letter from FTT no valid appeal
In 15.10.17 received email from my solicitor that Sala was overturned.
My solicitor wrote to FTT that we appealed on time and Sala was overturned and after that we received letter from FTT saying that I appealed on 06.07.2017 but didnt make payment and asking for payment.
I made payment and end of december 2017 I received letter from FTT with confirmation of hearing date which is august 2018.
Now my solicitor try to say that FTT might give me hearing date by mistake and they may dismiss my appeal at hearind date. He said (solicitor) we have to get advice from barrister before the hearing date which will cost another £420 just for advice. I am anyway planing to go to hearing with barrister.
My question is: is it possible that FTT may dismiss my appeal at hearind date???
I am in durable relationship 19 month
Thank you guys.

Unfortunately it seems the lawyer is trying to milk you. For that decision there is no right of appeal at present, pending the outcome of the decision in Banger.

He does not know what he is doing. He will take you down the abyss, the barrister fee will be a waste and the counsel fee for hearing will be a waste, as the Home Office will successfully argue that it is a decision made on or after the 01-02-2017 and therefore there is no right of appeal.
