Hello tiktok,

Yes your wife can sponsor both your parents under EU settlement scheme family permit as long as you can prove your relationship and she has pre settled or settled status. It’s very easy and although dependency is assumed, it’s also good if you can send evidence that they depend on you.

I think your problem will be when your parents are granted the permit but your brother might be refused even though he is 5 years old.
They accepted my mother in law but rejected my sister in law and now we have even bigger issue because she can’t live by herself and my mother in laws permit will expire June. She still has not come to the UK.

So think wisely before applying. There is no way to link all their applications, you have to do a seperate one for each. Since the EU Settlement Scheme fp is easier there is a big chance they will accept both your parents but you have to apply for EEA fp for your brother since he is extended family and there is a chance he might be rejected then he will be by himself.

Any news on your sister in laws application?

Hi cookie0801


I would like to ask you pls I'm about to apply for my mum did you translate your mum birth certificate or just yours

Pls help me what documents did u provide thanks lot

Hi TikTok,

I applied for my husbands mother (my mother in law). Because he didn’t have a birth certificate “registered at the time of his birth”, him and his mother did a gov.uk approved DNA test. So we didn’t use a birth certificate in our case.

I think you only need to include and translate your birth certificate as this contains your mums name too but I have seen several cases where family permit was refused because the “Date” on the birth certificate was several years after the actual birth so just be sure to check and any translated papers should have original dates of registration.

All documents not in English have to be translated.

In our case, we included the following:
1. Application form and booking appointment letter
2. Passport photocopies of EEA national, husband and mother in law
3. Cover letter
4. EEA national employment letter
5. Settled status letter
6. 6 months payslips and 3 P60’s (both EEA National and husband)
7. Marriage certificate of EEA National and husband
8. DNA test of husband and mother in law
9. 6 months UK bank statement
10. 6 months money transfer slips
11. Flight tickets, photos, TB test certificate
12. My own children’s passport copies and birth certificates

Hope that helps. Wish you a successful application!

Hello everyone,

The situation around the world is really sad due to the outbreak of Corona virus.
I have my EEA family permit with me but still cannot travel to UK since all the flights are suspended for a month.

Hopefully the situation will be better in the coming months. I just wanted to know if anyone can help me out with my query.

Is it necessary to travel to UK within first 3 months of the visa start date. Is it a problem if someone die to unavoidable circumstances travels after 3 months of the visa start date??

And currently how long does it take to get pre settled status after moving to UK ??

Hi,
There is no law that forces you to come within 3 months. You can come to the UK in last month of your FP. There is no definite time period for settlement scheme to process as it varies case to case. According to recent information keep in mind at least couple of months. Stay safe and do not worry about coming asap. Later is better than sooner as UK is going to be next hotsopt of Covid-19. Almighty bless everyone in this situation

Hello guys,

Just to update, we decided to submit another application for one last time before we appeal.

Timeline:
Online application: 27/02/2020
Biometrics: 03/03/2020
Received by UKVI: 04/03/2020
Not straightforward email: 23/03/2020

On the 18th, we have UKVI a call and they said a decision has been made. Then today when we received this email, we gave them another call. The lady said the decision had been made and couldn’t explain why we received the not straightforward email. Very confusing.
Just waiting for get an email from TLScontact now.

Hey Tiktok,

No, nothing yet. They made a decision on our application but they probably haven’t been able to send the documents. Anyway the visa application centre is now closed so it looks like we won’t hear back from them until things return to normal. I’ll write on here any news we get, although we aren’t too hopeful because of all the refusals lately.

Don’t worry, they’ll probably reach a decision on your mum soon, they must have a shortage of staff due to the pandemic.

Keep us updated, I hope you get a positive result.





Thanks lot for ur reply lets hope the best I will update u as soon as I hear from them

Hi all,

Please i need some input from the gurus here. My mum is about to apply for the EU settlement scheme family permit from Nigeria (I am non-eu national married to an EU citizen) and my wife will be the sponsor. From what I have read here, I am not sure if we need to provide DNA result to prove relationship between me and my mother? I do have a birth certificate re-issued about 10 years ago, is this enough?

Secondly, as dependency is assumed, does my mum need to provide her bank statement and me providing proof of dependency? I honestly do not have proof as she's not fully dependent but i would love for her to get the visa through EU Settlement Scheme FP as she has been refused visitors visa in the past.

Many thanks

@cookie0801

An alternative to applying as an Extended family member is to apply under the 'EU Settlement Scheme Family Permit'.

Your Mother-in-Law (aswell as your Father-in-Law) qualifies as 'close' family member of your Husband/Wife/Partner etc and in this category dependence is assumed so you don't really even need to send Money Transfer Receipts (but if you have them then you should send them anyway).

I believe your partner must have atleast 'Pre-settled' status.

In terms of your Sister-in-Law, I'm not sure whether she would be able to apply but I think she could as she is part of your Mother-in-Law household and us under her care.

This would definitely be a better route.

Sorry. I have not fully explained. I have already applied for my mother in law and she was granted the permit in December. We applied for both of them at the same time however mother in law was granted and sister in law was rejected. We had attached the exact same evidence. The refusal reason did not mention anything about only sending 6 months money slips so we assumed they were okay with it. They stated they wanted more evidence of income expenditure and financial situation. And that the money we send is used to meet her essential life needs.
So we sent the exact same evidence but this time included bills and explained their monthly budget/ expenses in detail.
Then this rejection they said 7 months is not enough and asked for collection receipts.

We send money in the name of my mother in law and they have accepted that saying “It is noted that the corresponding money collection receipts or a bank statement in your Mother’s name have not been submitted to verify any of these funds were received by your Mother”

I have emailed the EU settlement resolution team asking if dependent sister in law of 13 years old can apply for the EU Settlement Scheme family permit.
