    Hi All

    I am slovak citizen, living in the Uk and my husband is tunisian. He arrived in uk end of August on EEA FAmily permit.
    As i will have completed my 12 months under WRS next april 2011, he cant apply for a residence card yet. i understand he can apply for resid.stamp, but by the time he gets the stamp, he will be eligible to apply for the resid.card.
    is it possible for us to wait until next april to apply ?
    Also, his eea family permit expires next february. would that be a problem when applying for the resid. card?
    i understand as long as i work here and am registered with WRS, he is here legally , so it
    should not be a problem, but im not sure of this.
    Can anyone help please?
    Many thanks

    Dasa

    You should apply for residence stamp.

    You are right that since you are exercising your treaty rights, your spouse has an implied right to stay with you in the UK but.......thats only theory unfortunately.

    He can apply for FMRS and later for EEA2. Its not going to affect his applying for EEA4 in the long term anyway because both will be counted towards the residency requirement.

    Good luck !
