Proving joint residence for Residence Card application

Post by a.s.b.o » Sun Aug 30, 2015 5:09 pm

Hello folks,

This is 3 months into the application and something that causes concerns to me.

We applied for a Residence Card for my non-EEA dependent family members (parents) on foot of an EEA Family Permit and which was issued based on FTT ruling accepting their financial and emotional dependence on myself, an EEA citizen residing in UK. We submitted all required paperwork in support of the application. Now I am looking back on the application to identify whether evidence re: residence together is sufficiently covered.

In the first place, my parents resided in my property prior to arriving to UK. This evidence is in FTT ruling. After entry into UK, they reside with me, but we do not have joint utility bills. In fact, we were able to open a bank account for my mother, bearing my address, and which we submitted to demonstrate their residence at the same address and the continual deposit of maintenance on which my parents rely to pay for expenses while in UK. My father did not succeed in obtaining an independent account (my mother has a UK driving licence and which he does not), so both of them use the same account.

We further have some evidence attesting to residence at the same address, such as open government employment pre-clearance (as part of job applications) and which indicate job searches conducted by them. I am not 100% certain whether this evidence is something that would make EEA section jolly upon seeing.

I will kindly ask some opinions on whether this is something to be worried about. When it comes to the rest of the application, I provided all required evidence in quantities requested. I am not certain whether submitting further evidence is really warranted or whether this would unnecessarily confuse a bureaucrat. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

HO will be sure to ask follow up questions if they have any doubts or require further clarification/evidence.

Sending further information willy nilly may prove ineffective; it may well get lost - suggest wait & see if there are questions.
Then you can provide relevant evidence (official letters from whomsoever as appropriate).
