Which category for a retired EEA family member?
Posted: Tue Jul 24, 2018 8:53 am
Hi all,
I am trying to apply for ILR for my father. He came over 5.5 years ago. Initially was a job seeker based on my being a worker her in the UK. He had a part time job topped up with job seekers allowance and later pension credit. He has retired 12 months ago, with a mix of UK and Polish pension topped up by pension credit. In the meantime I got British citizenship and still have Polish passport.
I have started the online application but got stuck when choosing the category of qualified person. He is neither a worker, previous worker or jobseeker, considering he is getting pension credit and housing benefit he wouldn't be a self-suficient person either.
The guidelines on gov.uk don't seem to provide a clear answer. Or should he go down the family member route and do the 80 pages paper application? Does it matter if I am a British citizen now?
Can anyone advise please?
