So can I apply for my dependent sister and for her husband who also dependent on me in third country .they are living in my own home there.and how much possibility to get eea family permit?please advice me .Thanks in advance

Thanks.i dout about that. Please any one tel me according to proper eu/eea Law.Thanks in advance

I do apologise about this, i thought you are a non-EEA national who has secure a right of permanent residence.

In your case you could certainly sponsor family members under the EEA regulations and the immigration rules, as you are a settled person as well.

However they will need to show that they are dependant on you.

It will be crucial to demonstrate that the dependence is genuine (ie not contrived).

It won't be enough for them to be simply living in a house you own. Regular payments sent to meet their essential needs - food, utilities, clothing etc; not enough income of their own; no savings etc.

Doesn't matter why they don't work (if they do not) but remittances will have to be something more substantial than, "I send money with friends when they travel back home".

Any documentary evidence put forward will need to satisfy the ECO in the country the application is made (that includes birth, marriage certs etc).

Thanks.Please tel me how can i endorse my passport copy when they will apply? because corrently I am living in the uk.if I send just my passport copy with other documents it is ok or not?please advice me. Thanks in advance

I think it does say somewhere on the form that a copy of the EEA passport/ID is acceptable but I have read somewhere else (UKBA) that a certified copy by the issuing authority is required if the original is not presented. No doubt there will be people who have provided a photocopy and not experienced any problems.

I personally would get a copy, endorsed by the consulate as being a true copy of your passport. It creates a better impression. Just mention on the application why the original has not been provided.

What nationality are your sister and brother-in-law?
