family permit direct family member how to appeal

Upvote:2

It is not clear where you are applying, but I will assume you are applying to the UK under the EEA family permit program.

This program is only for the following categories of relations (see this website for more information):

You must be the EEA citizen’s spouse or civil partner, or related to them (or their spouse or civil partner) as their:

  • child or grandchild under 21 years old, or dependent child or grandchild of any age
  • dependent parent or grandparent

Your in-laws only qualify if they are dependent on your spouse; for example, they are retired and are supported by your spouse.

If not, then your in-laws have to apply as a normal visitor visa. They can still be sponsored by you.

You also don't need to supply "extra" things such as name change and newspaper clippings, these can work against you as they can seem as if you are being deceptive.

It just seems you have applied for the wrong visa category.
