Hi... here is my situation:

- I'm a USA citizen;

- I'm married to an Italian guy since October 2005 after knowing each other for 7 years (about);

- I am in Italy since August 2005;

- I am applying for a "Permesso di Soggiorno" (italian family visa), but it will take months; this permit is also necessary to get the "Residenza" (Residence) in Italy;

- my husband wants to move to England within a while... probably less than the time necessary for the Italian Visa;

- both of us have a place where to stay for free in England; his family and, about me, I have a step-grandfather in UK so I am not directly related to a British citizen;

- both of us do not have a job at the moment as my husband just got his bachelor degree and I can't work in Italy until I have my Permit (Visa);

Now, the questions are:

- Can I go to Uk with my husband? How long can I stay?

- Will I be able to travel back to Italy for paperwork etc... and to go back to UK?

- will we be able to apply for a EEA family Visa from UK? What is the probability it will get refused?

- the fact that I am applying for an italian visa will be a problem for a UK visa? shall I quit the Italian application?

- How much money should we show to have to be sure to be able to get the UK visa?

- Anything relevant I should know?

Thanks for any help and advice,
