Hi Gurus,
Have been reading this section for quite some time and I think you guys are indeed informative and helpful. This is actually a case of my friend. Just out of curiosity, I would like to see any sensible next step for him in this case cos this might well be happening to anyone who wants to take the EEA route.
My friend is holding a French passport and now working in UK. His mother is non-EU and holding a long term visit visa and currently in UK with him. So he applied for EEA2 for his mother earlier this year but was rejected for two reasons as stated in the refusal letter,
1.She is not on a family permit currently and can't take EEA route.(which as I understand is not applicable according to the caselaw?)
2.No proof of dependency is provided.(he is ready to provide more evidence in this category)
My friend wants to file another application for his mother but what is odd is that UKBA holds her passport and would not return except they show them the returning flight ticket.
He is now planning to send his mother back and apply for family permit from her home country.
So my questions is, is this legal to hold her passport like that? Is there still anyway they can file the EEA2 reapplication directly from UK?
Thanks in advance. It might be worth knowing that last time when his mother entered Heathrow, she was warned by border officer that she has been staying in UK for too long (more than 6 month totally within 12 months).
