    What is the Zambrano case ?

    The Zambrano right of residence is an immigration route in which EU member states can grant a right of residence to the primary caregiver of an EU national child if refusing to do so will jeopardize the child’s treatment. Under the Zambrano carer right of residence, a non-EEA or Swiss parent or guardian of an EEA child may be allowed to come to the UK to care for their child.

    The Zambrano case concerns a petition filed by Colombian parents whose Belgian-born children would be unable to exercise their Treaty rights if their parents were forced to leave the country.

    We often encounter applicants who are perplexed by the Zambrano procedure. This is due to the fact that EU laws are still in flux, making applications like this extremely difficult. For this very reason  we have a team of experienced immigration lawyers who are updated on all EU laws and regulations.

    In making the Zambrano application process easier, we will assist you. An eligibility examination and a thorough document review, are included in our services.

    If you continue with a Zambrano filing, your lawyer will also prepare a Letter of Representation to go along with it. In support of your application, this letter outlines your case and its merits, as well as referencing any applicable UK immigration laws.

    To decide whether you and your child are eligible for a Zambrano case application, we will evaluate all factors. To consult and discuss about the choices that you have you could make an appointment or even make an enquiry online or on call with our expert advisers.

    The  Zambrano carer right of residence was created because of a specific immigration case ruling. Because of this, the regulations are more flexible and relative than within the UK visa and immigration systems. As a result, it is important to weigh up the pros and cons before you consider this as an option to gain Entry Clearance into the UK.

    The pros include:

    • It can allow you to enter, live and work in the UK provided you are the primary carer of your child
    • It allows you to gain ILR in the UK when you may otherwise not be eligible
    • If you gain Entry Clearance into the UK using the Zambrano route, you will not be restricted by the regulations of a specific UK visa.

    The cons include:

    • Under the Zambrano route, only ‘basic support’ is given to EEA children in the UK. This does not include social assistance by local authorities
    • The  parents of an EEA child must have the right to work and residence in the specific Member State to protect the right of a child to live in Europe
    • One member of the couple must be a European Citizen who is perfectly able to assume the total responsibility and care of the child.
