Umeshs 10 Posted January 18, 2014 If I add my widow mom when I lodge the application, and for some reason is CO feels that she is not dependent. Will he ask us to drop her from application? Will that have any adverse effects? Her Medicals and PCC would not be a problem for her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VERYSTORMY 3,406 Posted January 18, 2014 If she is found non dependent then your application would be refused. What country do you live in? This can make a difference to if she is dependent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lebourvellec 738 Posted January 18, 2014 If she is fully dependent on you - then you wont be able to migrate without her, therefore removing her from your application will not be possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bonnie Durmic 10 Posted January 19, 2014 Hi Some CO's can be very tough and difficult to deal with on this application criteria. First question - does she live with you or are you paying for all her requirements? Even though she is widowed, if she has her own accommodation independently and a pension and for instance you are in the UK, it will be difficult to prove she is dependent. However, if she's living with you or in an annex, then this is a better starting point. You need to carefully and realistically look at whether she is in fact dependent on you, and then provide evidence to support that to the case officer. Generally they will want to see dependency evidence going back 12 - 24 months minimum, although it can be less if an event, such as your father's passing occurred more recently. Just because she isn't accepted as dependent shouldn't mean the whole application is refused. The one fails, all fails rule applies to people considered part of the family who fail health and character. Its a different criterion.
