Hi All,
Can anyone please advise, as I have a EEA Residence card issued to me and my wife as a Dependent Parent of EEA National or its Spouse.
My son is Non-EEA National(on settled status) and his wife is EEA National (on settled status), and we are dependent on my son and his wife, hence why got a Residence card (Pre-Settled status).
Now I have 2 questions,

Do I have to maintain the dependency for the whole 5 years, until I got settled status, or if I can work in the UK or claim benefits in the UK durig the pre-settled status(My RC have no restrictions for woring in the UK)?

Can I sponsor my another daughter who is 13 years old and currently a Non EEA National, living outside the UK, with my other family member?

Can anyone please advise as I am struck and unable to find any of the above answers.
Thanks in advance.

No. Only the EEA citizen child (your sponsor) can sponsor their family members.

In this case, your EEA citizen daughter-in-law can sponsor her sister-in-law as an Extended Family Member if she can demonstrate that the sister-in-law is dependent on either the EEA citizen or their spouse.

Thanks for your reply on my post.
I have tried this extended family member visa category, but they refused the visa by saying that since 1 feb 2017, only the relative of eea national can apply as an extended family member. Any family member of eea national spouse or partner cannot apply for extended family member.
Is there any rule under article 8 or human rights for my daughter as she is 13 years old only and have no family in Pakistan to support her.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
