    A very good morning . I am happy to have found this forum and find this very informative.i am a non eu spouse of a polish citizen . We are working and currently based in netherlands. I am currently have a dutch residence permit which is equivalent to eea2 residence in the uk

    we have few doubts and would be grateful if you could clarify it for us.

    Question 1) i would like to apply for a job in the uk .since, i would be applying from netherlands, we would like to know if my application be treated on an equal basis with the other eu/uk candidates? Should i apply for eea family permit and then apply for a job? We know that in this year’s selction process, all non-uk/eea & tier 1 applicants were excluded from the first round (and all places were filled in the first round).

    Question 2) for the interview in the uk can i travel alone with my dutch eu family residence card or i am only allowed to travel with my spouse or i am only allowed to travel with a eea family permit?

    Question 3) if i acquire the eea family permit then what should i mention on the job applications?

    they have the following categories

    please answer the following questions in sequence

    a are you a citizen of the uk or eea?

    If yes, go to section 8 - declaration if no go to question b

    b if no to a, do you have settled status or indefinite leave to remain in the uk?

    If yes, go to section 8 - declaration if no go to question c

    c if no to b, do you have limited leave to remain in the uk without restriction on employment that extends to august 2011 or beyond?

    D
    what is your current immigration category
    permit free training
    refugee
    hsmp
    spouse of a uk citizen on probation
    uk ancestory
    dependent (ex of student, hsmp or work permit holder)
    other (if not in the list)


    e on what date does your current passport stamp expire?


    go to section 8 - declaration (i have pasted this section of the questionnaire below)


    question 4) if i manage to get the job then am aware that i would be either applying for fmrs (if my wife gets a job and she gets herself registered with wrs) or for eea1 and eea2.
    In either case would i able to continue my work while my application for fmrs or eea2 is still pending?





    I would be really grateful if you could clear my doubts.




    Thanks so much.

    Kind regards,

    andes

    1 - No, your application probably wouldn't even be considered since in most cases it expressly asks if you are allowed to work in UK or not.

    2 - No, you will need to get an EEA Family Permit BEFORE you travel to UK.

    3 - You don't need to mention anything about your job since your wife is going to be your sponsor.

    4 - Yes. You might get a bit of a fight with your employer though.

    Good luck

    Dear yousuf.

    Bahut bahut shukriya, zinki (thanks a lot). Your suggestions have given me a good idea about this entire process.from your advise , i understand that first i got to get the eea family permit. Now,after i manage to get the eea permit ---(i suppose it would give me the right to reside and work) what should i mention about my immigartion status on the prospective job applications--(actually, that was my third question and i guess i communicated it in a different way) . Many of these job applications carry a section about the immigration status of the applicant. They give 5- 7 immigartion categories and one has to cross one of them

    the categories in many of the application i have seen are as follows

    a are you a citizen of the uk or eea?

    B if no to a, do you have settled status or indefinite leave to remain in the uk?

    C if no to b, do you have limited leave to remain in the uk without restriction on employment that extends to august 2011 or beyond?

    What is your current immigration category
    permit free training
    refugee
    hsmp
    spouse of a uk citizen on probation
    uk ancestory
    dependent (ex of student, hsmp or work permit holder)
    other (if not in the list)


    you have also said that they wont consider my application--if so, when they will consider my job application on equal terms with other uk/eu citizens?


    Once again i would like to extend my hearftul thanks for your help.

    Would wait for your response.

    Bye

    You are welcome :) ( by the way its Dzienki not zinki :p )

    Yes you need to get your EEA Family Permit which is issued for six months and it allows you to live and work in the UK. Towards its expiration, you can then apply for FMRS. Bear in mind that you cannot apply for EEA2 right away since your wife is from Poland. ( I am assuming she is going to work in the UK ).

    As for applying for jobs, I honestly don't understand if you are asking about applying now i.e. before you get EEA FP or after. In any case, since you are none of the categories mentioned in the list, you can choose other and write down "Family member of EEA citizen". If there is a separate question asking "Are you allowed to work in the UK?" tick it Yes, if there is no such question, then mention it with above that you are allowed to work.

    Alternatively, you can also mention the same fact in the cover letter or even CV.

    Also, what I meant concerning consideration of your application was that you should apply once you have the EEA FP i.e. if you will write that you are GOING TO get a permit, they wouldn't consider it. You don't have to worry about what you call 'equal terms with the UK/EEA citizens'. As per my experience, most of the employers wouldn't care about your nationality as long as you have permission to work and proper qualifications etc.

    Good luck

    Thanks once again. Bardzo dzienki.

    Here is what i am going to do- i am going to apply for eea family permit, simultaneously look for opportunites. Then (assuming that i get the eea fp) if shortlisted i would go for the interviews . In the eea family permit they are asking what is the main purpose of visit to the uk and how long i intend to stay? What should i write bhade bhai?

    Now, as i mentioned before, me and my wife both have jobs here in netherlands and i would like to go only for the interview. Only, if i get the job we both would leave our current jobs and immigrate to the uk. In this case what should i mention in the additional information section? Shall i write that we would like this permit for travelling and vsiting or any other suitable answer- i am a bit confused.

    The basic thing is i would like to attend an interview and the agency has asked me to put my application as a eea citzec (i know that is weird). Now, only if i clear the interview we both would leave our current jobs. In the interview they would surely ask my originals and i guess only if i show my prrof of marriage and the eea family permit, they would clear my candiadature. But in the eea family, i think i cant write that my main purpose is for attending interview --right?

    Enlighten me

    many thanks in advance

    pozdrawiam

    For the main purpose you can surely write you are going to 'travel to UK with your wife' and the duration you can put N/A. Remember that your whole application is based on the fact that your wife is an EU citizen and she is travlling/moving to UK so you are also moving with her. In other words, your right to travel to UK is derived solely from your marriage. I would advise that your wife lines up a few interviews, get the proof of that and mention it in your application. Her working is far more important than yours.

    Also, bear in mind that you can NOT travel to UK alone on your EEA Family Permit. Your wife must be with you otherwise you can well be refused entry at the airport and sent back.

    Good luck
