Thank you for reply!

Can you please answer for one more question?

In EE they ask 3 questions related to immediate family members:
-Nationality
-Country of residence(They have a note under this question - The person must be in this country legally).
-City of residence.

My brother was in Europe for many years and I have no idea what is his immigration status(I assume he just there illegally with no status).

What shall I write under Country and City of residence for him? Can I just write Russia (country of his nationality)??? He has a house, car in Russia etc and probably return eventually to continue living there. All of the official things are under this undress in Russia.

He isn’t going to talk to talk about me and share what he is doing and his immigration status in Europe. So it is a tricky question for me.

Please advise!
You need to put where he actually is. If you don't know his status, put Unknown.

There is no way to put Unknown.
In EE there is drop down menu with no option to write something from myself.
I need to pick the country from the list under Country of residence(The note says that the person MUST be in this country legally).

Please give an advise :)

There is no information on the whole forum about this and I think many people are in the similar situation looking for answers.

I appreciate your assistance!

If you don't need to actually select his status, then just put his country of residence, regardless of his status.

But what is his country if residence if he is just staying illegally in Europe and living in one or another country there? I have no idea how often he moves from one place or another within countries in EU.

It won't affect your app. If you are worried, include a letter of explanation.

Thanks!

So I just pick up any country in Europe he is more likely to live in and select it in my application?

Or better to put his home country where his permanent resident is and his own house?

That is my question :)

You need to put where he is. As you don't know, include a letter of explanation stating that.

Agree. You or your family must have an idea of where he is. Likely he is one of a few countries like Germany, UK, etc. Does he not have email or whatsapp?

Sometimes family doesn’t communicate for many different reasons and people not always responsible so they can disappear for 6 months with no communication etc.
