Summary:
Claimant left the country to see his sick aunt in California. Claimant states that his aunt is the only living adult he has left, that he grew up with and that he considers her as immediate family. Umpire held that an aunt cannot legally be considered within the frame of the EIA and EIR as a member of the "immediate family" even if the relationship between the claimant and his aunt was of a very special nature.
