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.

Hi. Yes bring your document checklist, appointment confirmation and passports (and ID cards). The documents you uploaded to the portal is not necessary to bring to the appointment.

I did not apply from Pakistan so I don't know. But from the place my parents-in-law applied they only brought their passports, ID cards, application checklist and appointment confirmation to the biometrics appointment. They did not bring their supporting documents which had already been electronically uploaded to the VFS portal. Hope that answers your question.

Please provide any list of documents you provided as financial dependency. One of my friend parents got refusal yesterday under this route due lack of proving documents for financal dependency to only showing 4 transactions of fund transfer to them. Please provide any lisit.

Yes under EU Settlement Scheme Family Permit, financial dependency is assumed so we did not provide any evidence of this. All the docs we provided have been posted above.

If people can still use this route to enter after Dec 31, 2020, it means the Brexit didn't happen.

So whatever your project is, ensure it happens before that deadline.

At the moment, the EU Settlement Scheme is open for everyone with very low entry requirements. There are people bringing non-EU in-laws with nearly no paperwork and assumed dependency.

Wait for the UK to leave with no deal and see if the above is still doable in January.

Let's wait January and you will see.

I am not claiming they are going to revoke the EUSS or ignore the withdrawal agreement. However, in that Agreement, it has never been said, signed and guaranteed that a non-EU citizen can bring non-EU citizens because he/she is married to an EU citizen. That's to say, a Pakistani married to a Polish, can now automatically bring his mother and father under the Withdrawal Agreement. We are in a country where many British citizen cannot bring a husband or a wife and parents are separated from their children because they don't meet the financial requirements.

I think that the current application of the EUSS went well beyond the intent letter published after the Brexit. I think the Home Office is under political pressure to accept any application just for the UK to show good faith during the negotiations.

That where my rational comes from. If you are non-EEA and want to bring non-EEA, do it now as the country is going through exceptional circumstances that makes it possible. Watch this space in 2021 where you will see a storm of refusals as the Home Office gets more liberty to interpret the rules.
