EEA Family Permit for my brother

Post by anass28 » Sun Dec 11, 2016 7:57 pm

Hi,

I need your help please.
I am French and I live in France. I would like to know if I can apply for my little brother (he is 21) for an EEA family permit.
I plan to go in UK so I want him to go with me there.
He is Moroccan, he lives in Morocco.

So I would like to know if I can bring him with me in UK but I want to apply for him in Paris. Is it possible to apply for him? Because I know that in Morocco it's very difficult to get an EEA family permit.

Please help me.

Thanks for your reply

Is brother dependent on you and/or a member of your household in any way?
Can you prove it?

FP requirements are the same from Morocco or France as you apply online for it anyway (except if based in N.Korea);
so there should not be 'easy' or 'hard(er)' locations.

Thank you for your reply.

I live alone in France that's why I decided to bring my brother with me in UK.
He is dependent on me but I just send him cash, clothes, pay for him anything. But I don't really have proofs..
How can I prove that he's dependent on me?

Thank you

Without proof of dependence, your application will fail.

Who does your brother live with in Morocco?

Don't you keep receipt of money you send him, or clothes you buy him , or his expenses you cover.

If you don't, then prospect of success is next to zero.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Well.. I have some receipts but do you think it's enough? I didn't keep all the receipt so I am afraid it will fail because of that...

How many years I have to prove that he is dependent on me?

Thanks

You educate yourself on requirements, plan ahead and meet the rules. Oh and provide rock-solid documentary evidence, lots of it.
The same as for any immigration-related application.

Financial dependency means providing for essential daily needs, food, accommodation, that sort of thing.

Failing to plan is planning to fail.
No caseworker is going to take it at face value that someone is dependent on someone else (or is even their brother) and then wave them across the border.

You need to up your game.
