[Aqsanasif]

Hi guys,

I need your help with my situation at the moment.. I will be applying for eea pr card very soon. I have had eea residence card since last 5 years, the time when I received residence card, a year after I got married outside uk.. And I also have absence of more than 6 months, as I had fallen really ill and later on found out that I had brain tumor.. My question is, would HO be ok with me getting married, while also being depandent on my mother financially? I have always been depandent on my mother even after getting married. My mother is eea national and my sponsor. also what evidence shall I send to support my application??

You will need rock-solid evidence of reasons for absences from UK and also of dependency if over age 21.
Have you made a start by reading PR form and PR guidance (Gov UK website)?

Thank you for the quick reply.. Yes I have been looking trough the Internet and gathering info for eea pr application. What really worrying me is my status as being married, I had never thought before that it would become a problem later when applying for the eea pr? Is that acceptable at HO as being dependent on eea national and being married at the same time?

Its not about HO, its about complying with EU law.

Are you dependent for essential daily needs?
How much?

Is wife dependent on your or on mother-in-law? - or how else do you support your wife?
Any children?

How long were you away from UK? Any supporting evidence for long absence?

He is my husband. And he is not depandent on my mother, as he doesn't live in the uk. I have my Medical reports for the periods I was away from uk would that be ok?

Depends how many periods and how long each absence was for.
Doctors report(s) plus medical specialist/consultant report(s) required.

If you were dependent on mother why did you go abroad? where did you go? where did you stay? who with?
That doesn't really help you to prove dependency on someone in UK (especially if it was for a long time).

I went abroad because I got married, i wasn't supposed to stay there longer than 6 months, I was meant to come back here to uk but I fell really ill and later on found out that I had Brain tumor, after that my treatment started and that's why I had to stay there. I stayed with my husband during that time.

You will need full medical reports and evidence to back this up.
The more you provide to justify the absence will seem to weaken the evidence for dependency of mother in UK.
You will need full evidence of that dependency too.

If your long absences broke your continuity of residence in UK you will have to re-establish the fact of the dependency on mother.
