Hi All,

My Brother is in Africa and has serious mental issues since 2005. The nearest Psychiatric Hospital to our Father's house is 4.5 hours by road if there's no traffic and could be more during busy periods.
No one looks after him, his symptoms persists, father passed on and Mum is in her early 80s. She has no capacity to help him. Others stigmatise against him and I'm the only one that cares for him and want him to leave with me in the UK.

I was previously an EEA residence card, Permanent residence cards holder and Naturalised to British Citizen. Originally from Africa as well. I qualified as my Step Sister is an EU citizen and i qualified as a dependant extended family member. Can I bring him in under EU law instead of relying on UK law as I can't afford adult dependant relative visa. I'm working and in employment but visa fees is outrageous.

I also have psychosis and was diagnosed in the UK but live normal life. I have access to quality healthcare unlike my Brother who is in a very terrible situation. Been living in UK for over 12 years. I'm relying on this. Please see below:

Please help me so I can help my Brother.


Thank you.

My Step - sister didn't naturalise to become a British Citizen as she's Irish.


Kind regards.

The EEA route for extended family members-EFMs-(anybody other than the spouse, children or dependent parents of EEA citizens or their spouses) closed on 31st December 2020.

Those EFMs already in the UK can extend their stay under the EUSS. But there is no ability to start a journey under the EUSS for extended family members.

Thanks for your response.

Can't I make an application under compelling and exceptional circumstances. I've had a couple of relapses and I have medical letters to prove this. I am severe mental impairment.


Kind regards

Moreover, I've had these rights - Non EEA 5 Yr Residence and Permanent Residence Cards. I later naturalised as British in 2019.
