Further information letter for EC/38/2004 application

[Bobthemoggie]

in the country of origin ( in Netherlands),

Just to clarify, the country of origin in this case is not the Netherlands, it is the country that your parents are resident in.

The letter seems to be asking your parents to prove not only that they were financially dependent on you, but that they were dependent on you for basic material support in the country of origin.

Jia underlined that the situation of dependency is established by referring to the necessity of material support in the State of origin of the applicant.

This Freemovement article interprets the Reyes judgment to mean that "all that need be shown is the fact of past remittances".

So, did your parents show a history of (ideally regular bank payment) remittances from you to them in their country of origin?

These rules are based on the judgments of the ECJ/CJEU and hence are likely to be required in all EEA countries.

Dear Expert Member,
I was not able to get Lawyer & need to handle case on my own.

Will it be a good idea, to give reference to - Reyes judgment to mean that "all that need be shown is the fact of past remittances".?

or leave it for later stages of appeal in the court?
As it will be really beneficial if I could satisfy case worker at this stage, by providing elaboration & references like above judgement.

Your any advise on how to respond will really helpful

Thanks a lot
