It seems amazing that you have applied for a VISA and you are not sure of what is for!

Of course he can work, he can accept employment of become a self employed.

Good luck

 

Sally, I was granted the visa as an unmarried partner of EU citizen too. Did he get a visa valid for 2 years too?
Yes, he can work and live here with no restrictions!!!
I would kust advise you to keep all documents you get, and not throw away anything, like: phone bills, eletricity bills, etc... just then when he applies for the permanent visa (ILR), then you can prove you live together.
When did you send the documents to the Home Office in april? And when is it going to expire his visa? Just to make a timeline of the time it's taking...
Enjoy your visa!

My wife is from Lithuania, and I am from Bulgaria. She is not working. I was working and she applied as a self-sufficient person through the income of her non eea husband. We came to the UK about 6 months ago. I came on an EEA Family Permit, as we were only visiting the UK. Once here, she liked it and decided to stay and exercise her right to do so. Ok, wish luck to all who are still waiting. Seems now they process those types of application a lot faster.
