Hi all,

I've been reading this forum to find questions, regarding EEA extended family route, and I haven't been successful.
I would appreciate if someone could clarify whether a cousin of mine qualifies for the EEA extended family route.

Me: Swedish citizen with settled status living in the UK. Employed.
Cousin: Somali citizen currently living in Somalia.

I have been supporting my cousin financially since 2014/2015 with a monthly payment. She is living with friends who are due to move at the end of the year. She will have no relatives or friends to stay with. She doesn't own a property either.

Thanks

Do you have any proofs of the relationship between you and her and she gets financial support regularly from you?

We made the application few weeks ago. The appointment at the contact centre was 2 weeks ago. We have received an e-mail yesterday stating that decision has been made and documents are ready to be collected.

As a pessimist I'm assuming this quick decision=refusal.

Askmeplz82 what do you reckon?

UPDATE:

Refused on the basis of not showing enough financial dependency despite 1 year of remittance slips. Our solicitor said that their reason is ridiculous and most people submit less than a year's remittances as a proof of financial dependency.
Will appeal and submit extra 3 years of remittances (awaiting copies).
Does anyone know how slow/quick the appeal process is?

Thanks Saj.

I think year run up to Brexit, they were refusing applications left and right with quite petty reasons.

Good to see that your application for both your brother and parents have been successful.

Hi Sajid,
Did you apply for your brother who is outside UK?
As my brother has applied for me as I am in UK for residence card. How long was the processing time in your case?
