Hi everyone.
Need some help with sorting out my plans, I am a Portuguese national planning to marry an Indian national in the very near future.
The 2 key points I want to take care of are:
Getting her to the UK, where I will be working, as soon as possible, to be with me.
Making sure she gets EC benefits.

She is currently in the States. I would like for her to be able to come to the UK as soon as possible when I move there soon after the wedding.
I have heard that EEA family permits take a long time to process so would a visit visa be the fastest way, and if she applies for the visit visa before the wedding, can she then enter the country on that and have the visa changed in the UK to an indefinite leave to remain based on the marriage papers from the States? Would this be the best option?

Secondly, we are both doctors. She has given and cleared her USMLES but of course in the UK there is the PLAB exam for people trained in India. The exception is for EEA nationals or people with EC rights, as defined by the GMC in this pdf

The issue I have is it states in the pdf that the marriage must have taken place before the EU national exercises his right to remain in the UK.
I have lived in the UK and worked there from February to August. I am currently out of the country. I did not apply for any residence stamp or anything but my CRB etc was done prior to taking up my post.
Does this mean she can never benefit from EC rights? Or can I stay out of the country for some amount of time and reenter to reexercise my rights, and have the wedding done before reentering?
My main issue is how long do I need to stay out of the country? Do I need to at all?

Any help from you knowledgeable fellows would be very very very much appreciated.
