I have already applied for italian Citizenship in italy embassy and they inform me that atleast it will take 2years to get the citizenship.. I need to check is there any way or kind of visa where in i can go to UK to my wife and work there as i really cant wait for 2years to go to UK and as she is an italian so its really hard for him to come here and setteled.

    SOme one told me that probably im eligible for an EEA Family Permit - look at this info on the UK Visas website:-
    http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/en/howtoapply ... ionals#Q10

    Is that true ? if yes then im wondering what all documentation the british embassy need..coz i just have the marriage certificate from italian and indian jurdicury.. But i have the reciept of application of the applied the italian citizen....

    How much time does it take to get EEA family permit and from where do i need to apply for it ? in india where i live or london where my wife live or milano my wife's home town...

    Can you consulate me any agent or proper channel who can guide..and help me to go through...in Mumbai/ Delhi in india or Milano or london in Italy/ United Kinhdom

    You are entitled to apply for EEA Family Permit since your wife is EEA citizen and is exercising her treaty rights in UK ( by working ).

    You can apply for it from India at your nearest British embassy/counslate.

    You will need to produce documents showing your relationship i.e. marriage certificate, and since your wife is going to be your sponsor, she needs to provide her bank statements from UK, letter from employer, her tenancy agreement to show that you both have enough place to live in the UK, and of course passports ( or in case of your wife some other form of ID ) etc.

    You should also provide all the supporting documents for example your wedding pictures, if you have lived together before, the proof of that.
    Collect as much evidence as you can to show that your marriage is a genuine one and not just for the purpose of immigration.

    Good luck

    Hi Yousafzai,
    I will appreciate your advice; I think I have a close situation. I am Canadian but my husband is Romanian, we got Family Permit. My will attend a university in UK in June but I have offer to work in April.
    1. Can I work with Family Permit; if I apply for the Resident Card before the expiration of the FP can I continue working with FP because the RC may take 6 months to be issued ( I am not sure if the Home office will issue any document to proof my eligibility to work in UK before processing the Resident card)
    2. If I accept the offer to start working in UK what kind of document the employer may requested me to bring with to show my eligibility to work in UK.

    Many thanks,
    Roza

    1- Yes you are alllowed to work on your EEA Family Permit without any restrictions. When you apply for RC towards the expiry of your Family Permit, it doesn't change your status. You will get an acknowledgement letter from the Home Office when they reciecve your application called COA ( Certificate Of Application ) which mentions this fact.

    You can carry on working till the decision on your RC application arrives.

    2- Your passport with EEA Family Permit stamp in it is all you need.

    Good luck

    Yes you are allowed to work without any restrictions.

    Your employer, once the job is offered to you, will need to see your passport with EEA FP stamp in it. Thats all. You don't need to show any other proof that you are allowed to work.

    Good luck
