Pakistani Family Members of EU Citizen with convictions
Posted: Wed Feb 19, 2020 1:42 pm
I have two cousins who arrived in the UK in 2010 as their father who is a Belgian Citizen had sponsored them to come to the UK and they obtained a EEA family permit - they have applied for the EU Settlement scheme. However - both the cousins have minor and Major Convictions:
1) Cousin 1 in January 2020 has received an 8 years and 6 months Jail sentence for serious assault on an innocent person and he was jailed by Crown Court
2) Cousin 2 in November 2017 has received a fine for £300, £85 damage costs fine, 18 month disqualification for drink driving, driving without license and driving without insurance - no sentence was involved in this conviction
The father of the two cousins does not work - he claims benefits and one of his feet has been amputated due to diabetes.
Immigration authorities initially gave a 5 year visa to the family which included the father (Belgian citizen), Mother - (Non EEA), 2 daughters (Non eea), 2 sons (Non eea)
Would the UK immigration authorities allow the above two convictions or will the two cousins be deported back to Pakistan- their native place of birth?
