The Challenges Faced

Ms R and her two adult children, Nigerian nationals, faced significant challenges in securing EU Family Permit visas. The primary requirement was proving that the adult children had been financially dependent on Ms R for at least three years. This necessitated compiling and analyzing complex financial evidence, including multiple bank account statements spanning three years, tracking income and expenditure. The Home Office initially refused the applications, creating a risk that the family would not be able to live together in the UK.

How Latitude Law Helped

Latitude Law meticulously prepared and presented detailed financial evidence, including three years of bank statements, to demonstrate the dependency of Ms R’s adult children. Their thorough approach ensured the evidence was robust and met the necessary requirements.

The Outcome

Following Latitude Law’s careful preparation and submission of evidence, the Home Office reviewed the case at the appeal stage and withdrew their initial refusal, granting the EU Family Permit visas. This allowed Ms R and her children to reunite and live together in the UK.
