    I'm a Polish citizen and my husband is Filipino. We are moving to the UK and would like to start looking for jobs quickly. We have been reading a lot of information on the internet about this but the EU/non-EU spouse thing is pretty complicated. I have some questions that I am looking answers to. Can anybody help?

    As a EU citizen I can work in the UK . But can my husband work too without permit? Or do I have to find work first and then when I obtain it he applies for his work permit?

    Please if anyone has RELIABLE info , share on this forum.

    Correct, in order to activate your right to work, and then for hime to inherite from this right.

    The messages in the provided link suggest that my husband will not be able to work for full one year, until I after 1 year of continuous work I apply for a Residence permit and then he inherits my right to work.
    (If you are a national of one of the new member states and you are in employment, your family members will not be eligible for a residence document unless you are eligible for a residence permit.)

    Don't really believe this one but I m not declining it either. What I have found in the net about Non-EEA spouses are those 3 scenarios:

    1) this is the perfect world situaton. We come to London, my husband has a family permit which gives him the right to work right away.

    2) when me and my husband go to London , he can't work until I have found work first and registered with Worker Registration Scheme. After that I apply for his Residence Card (with EEC3 form), which can last up to 6 month (during that time he cant work).

    3) when we come to London, he can't work until I have found a job first and Registered with Worker Registration Scheme. Then after 1 year of my continuous work I apply for my Residence Card and when I get it, I then apply for his card. (means my husband can't work for 1 year at least) .

    I've emailed Home Office about that one and the WRS people too, but no response yet.

    Will keep you updated.
