My non-EU wife, the mother of the applicant

Presumably you meant that your non-EU wife is the daughter of the applicant, not the mother?

yes! sorry

Presumably you meant that your non-EU wife is the daughter of the applicant, not the mother?

I should also add, if this is of any material importance, that the applicant's grand-daughter (under 18) is an Irish citizen living in UK.

Hi, thanks for sharing.
Did you start the application online yourself from the UK or did your parents have to do it themselves from where they are?

Thank you.

Hi.

As a thank you to the forum I want to share my experience of how to successfully apply for a EU Settlement Scheme Family Permit for parents-in-law.

I am a EEA national married to a Non-EEA national. We both received settled status earlier this year after having had permanent residence for a number of years.

I decided to only supply the bare minimum of documents which worked. We supplied:

Non-eea parents passports and ID cards.
VFS application centre confirmation
Application checklist
Our marriage certificate (translated and certified copy)
Non-EEA national birth certificate (translated and certified copy)
Copy of EEA national passport
Copy of Non-EEA national passport
Copy of Non-EEA national ID card (back and front)

We uploaded everything online and the applicants brought their passports, ID cards and copy of checklist and appointment confirmation to the centre.

I ticked off for financial dependency and entered a number but did not supply proof of this as dependency is assumed.

Biometrics done 6th August, e-mailed paid UKVI service which confirmed on 26th Aug decision had been made. Today 18th Sep parents-in-law went to VFS centre to collect their passport without receiving any notification. Visa sticker stamped with 17th August.

Let me know if you have any questions.

You can do both - up to yourself I guess.

Hello,

Has anything changed with this route since the 30th of June? (EUSS FP for non-EU parents-in-law).

I read one comment earlier that dependency is no longer assumed?

PS - wife has pre-settled status.

Thanks

Even if dependency is no longer assumed, it s not hard to prove dependency. I was advised by an immigration lawyer that ONE proof of money sent to the dependent is enough, and the lawyer recommended a money transfer through something like Western Union (because you don't want to submit bank statements).

Hi Lilypearl

Please can you help me. Im applying for my parent's euss family permit. I know that after 1st july we need to show dependency. I've sent them money through western union for last 3 months. Do we need to submit our parent's bank statements as well? Or just the money transfer receipts received from western union?

Please note I do not have any other dependency proof. Just 3months money transfers.Will that be enough?

Thankyou in advance
