    I need an urgent help in getting to know about the Family permit... how to get it from the British Embassy, I am a non EEA family member but my wife is an EEA member also we are both intending to move to the UK to live and work. I will like to know on how to get about it, the procedures and requirements that will needed to have the family permit to the UK along with my wife, also once I have been granted, will it be possible to work during my duration period of stay, thirdly... when can I process for the residence permit in the UK and getting a solicitor is it suitable or is an easy thing to do for myself while applying. any help will be appreciated.

    Thanks.

I would like to know does it take longer time for the process of the EEA family permit to be granted by the British Embassy also would it be easy to change it in the UK to have a permanent residence... I will appreciate your kind respond and looking forward to it.. if you have any other useful things that be helpful... I will really appreciate it...

    Thanks..

    It depends which embassy you go to. It's usually no more than 3 weeks. Once you're in the UK you're entitled to work, and if you are in the UK in accordance with the Regulations* for five years then you can get permanent residence.

    * This means that your wife, as the EEA member, must be working or self sufficient.
