Client Story
Where they started
The family head wanted to bring everyone under his roof: his wife, children, adult children, and elderly parents—nine people from three generations. For a large family, permanent residency is valuable precisely because it provides a unified status and a European future for everyone at once.
Why the standard route did not work
But a large family is not one case repeated nine times. The MPRP reform changed dependent fees, and the way the application is structured directly determines the final cost: an suboptimal configuration multiplies contributions.
What BRIDGES had to solve
The second challenge is proving dependency. Including children is straightforward, but adult children and elderly relatives can only be included upon confirmation that they are financially dependent on the principal applicant. Without a Dependency Package for each of them, RMA will reject their inclusion.
Why a standard answer would not do
The family approached BRIDGES understanding that the task was to process all nine members as a single unit, optimizing fees and proving the dependency of each person not automatically included by law.
There are nine of us—from children to my parents. I was afraid we would have to pay the full amount for each person and that the elderly would not be included at all. Anna recalculated the fees under the new rules, gathered proof of dependency for the adults and parents, and submitted everyone in a single application. All nine were approved.
