So it seems that she can apply for Housing Benefit, and Income support etc in her own name.

Many thanks Obie x

I have read the guidance you sent me on benefits but it seems to suggest that the court of appeal only ruled in favour of those who applied for benefits post 8?11/2012. My Daughter in law if she had a successful zambrano application would be applying after that date. Please can you clarify. Love pad...

I think you are correct obie. (Hat in essence is what a laweyer at the corans childreen centre excplained to me.

I stand strongly by the advice i provided above. The mother meet all the conditions provided in Regulation 15A(4A), she is entitled to an EEA family permit under Regulation 12(1A). She is the primary carer, they live in the US, the father is not in the position of being the prinary carer. thanks so...

we can't apply under the immigration rules at all as my son isn't working at the moment and only has a one bedroom flat he won't get a visa for them x

I believe the HO would claim that Zambrano doesn't apply in this case. The HO view is that Zambrano applies in cases of a primary carer of a British child who would need to leave the UK if the carer is not allowed to stay. In this case, the child can remain in the UK with her father (with all the d...

Hi Obie and jambo many thanks for the replies. My son the British father currently lives in the UK. However it is not clear where his wife and child will live as he currently only occupies a one bedroom flat. That is the reason I was asking about benefits as I wondered if my DIL could rent something...

Hi I wonder if anyone can help me. I have been advised by a lawyer that zambrano does apply to my Daughter in law who is an American Citizen living in America with my Grand daughter who is a British Citizen. Reason being that my son has not been able to take any part in his daughters life for the la...

Thanks Obie really helpful.

Just a quick question about Benefits though, Am I correct in assuming that people with zambrano rights are now excluded from claiming any benefits.

Love pads x

can you now apply for family permits under zambrano from outside the uk?

Thanks pads x

Does anyone know what these new regulations are actually saying?

Love pads x

Does this now apply to entry clearance it would suggest it does

Love pads x

Hi am still confused by all this people keep saying that she should use form eu1 to apply for a residence card before coming to ireland however that does not apply as neither of them are there yet, and also my son is not registered with the job centre services in ireland yet and can't until he is th...

Hi thanks for the post so if they can find somewhere to live can she join him while he is jobseeking.

Does she need a family permit or can she just turn up.

Love pads x

perhaps you are right love, however they cannot apply for the visa at the moment because they have no money to do so until my son gets a job, his wife does not have any savings either. But thanks for the advice. I just thought if his wife could join him while he looked for work in ireland it would b...

He has dispraxia I don't know if you will know what this is but basically he isn't g ood at looking after himself, though once he has a job he does get up and go ok though I think mostly on auto pilot but he wouldn't be able to live by himself in ireland I don't think. Many thanks for your advice th...

The immigration lawyer said he might loose on family rights grounds though because they have never actually lived together as a family he has only spent a total of six weeks in the US in the last two years and his wife and daughter have not been allowed into britian in that time.

Love pads x

Greenie thanks for the reply. They did not apply last year because with my son's housing costs we thought the would not qualify without third party support, by the time he had this he had spent the money for the visa so it could not be applied for. He no longer has a three bedroom house he lost it w...

Thanks for the info ##o it would seem that they cannot all go together then. My son has a disability and therefore does not feel able to go on his own to look for work. He would go if his wife could join him there however there is always online applying for jobs and then just attending for interview...

Hi many thanks for your reply however I do have a few questions. One his wife is not legal in Britian she is currently in America with their daughter. They have not currently applied for a spouse visa because my son is out of work at the moment and she was refussed a visit visa because they said she...

Sorrfy I should have said he is british x

Hi my son has been told by a Immigration Lawyer that he can look for work in another EU country and have his family join him however it was not clear if he needed a job before they could join him or if they can join him while he looks for work. Questions. One are they allowed to join him while he lo...

Hi I have had a thought. My DIL does not need a visa to visit ireland right. Also she dosen't need a work permit to work in Ireland and neither does my son because he is an EU national and she is a dependant of an EU national is this correct. Was thinking that if my son does loose his job they could...

'Thanks obie. Do you know if the government is planning on applying this though to a child with two parents one who is british and one who is a non eu national. At the moment they seem to be trying to apply it to single parents only ie only to those children who have no British parent in Britain . L...

I don't know if he can get a visa for the US because his wife isn't working either,she is a stay at home mum. How would he support himself while he looked for work in another EU country though, this is certainly an idea, as I think another EU country would let his wife and daughter live with him. wh...
