Here is the guidance for you: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.u ... s-v7.0.pdf

Your mother and brother must be dependent on your EEA spouse.
The question will arise, why you don't want to sponsor your own relatives under the UK immigration rules, since you are a British citizen.

The question will arise, why you don't want to sponsor your own relatives under the UK immigration rules, since you are a British citizen.

Because the requirements for sponsoring an Adult Dependent Relative visa under the UK Immigration Rules are so onerous that they are practically impossible to meet.

To apply for an ADR visa, the applicant must prove that
a) The applicant needs assistance carrying out basic personal actions such as bathing and washing, AND
b) that such care is either unavailable or unaffordable in their country of normal residence.

Only about 6% of applications for ADR visas are approved, generally from countries like the US, where the care would be unaffordable.

If the application is made under the EEA regulations, the mother will be treated as a (direct) Family Member, the brother as an Extended Family Member.

The mother may also qualify under the EU Settlement Scheme, but, to the best of my knowledge, there is no provisions for EFMs under the Settlement Scheme.

It is worth keeping in mind that if the brother gets an EFM family permit, he can't sponsor any spouse of his under the EEA regulations or the Settlement Scheme. He will need to wait until he acquires PR/Settled Status and then sponsor the spouse through the UK Immigration Rules.

Thank you natcom and secret.simon much appreciated for quick reaponse.

Yes secren.simon is right it’s impossible to get dependent visa under Uk Immigration laws,
Regarding my brother it says on page 8 extended family members guidance that
“From 1 February 2017 the rights of extended family members only applies to relatives of the EEA national and not to relatives of the EEA national’s spouse or civil partner. This means that an extended family member can no longer rely on their relationship to the EEA national’s spouse or civil partner in order to meet the requirements of regulation 8. Instead, they must show that they are related to the EEA national”

So basically my brother cant rely dependency on my wife is that right??
Only my mother can be her dependent according to guidance notes.
Thank you guys

Any help would be appreciated
Thank you
