Hello everyone!
I would like your kind advise on my topic. My sister needs to apply for an EEA family permit from overseas, but not sure whether she needs to apply as a direct family member / extended family member. I am a non EEA citizen with RC married to an EEA national.
Your help/advise would be much appreciated.
Thank you so much.
Malik

Your sister is an extended family member and will have to prove her dependency in order for an EEA application to succeed.

As a British citizen, you cannot sponsor your brother (an extended family member) to the UK, not even on the Surinder Singh route, which only applies to direct family members (spouses, children and dependent parents).

With the utmost respect that is not correct.
It may be best to specify that it is UK's arguably flawed interpretation of EU law. It is certainly not EU law. At best we can say the matter is still awaiting EU law, but we have domestic authority, from domestic court , which interprets the law, and their view are very much at variance with Home Office views on the law.
