Congrats on your upcoming nuptials!

There are many forum posts about this topic,
"Marrying a NON-EEA National in the UK"
"Non-eea National Marrying Eea National"
"Non EEA- National married to EEA national"

But it might be of use to you to start with the guide to London and it's section on visas. There was also a recent post about Obtaining a Visa to Live, Study and Work in the United Kingdom.

Best of luck!

 

Hi Zee,

I am having the same situation, please tell me how is the progress of your situation.

Thanks,

Your right to be here as a spouse will be dependent on your wife exercising Treaty rights. This means that she needs to be working in order for you to get a residence card. As soon as she has a job AND you are married, you can apply. She doesn't need to be working full time, it just needs to be a job.

The only other thing I'd put in would be wedding photos, cards, letters from friends & family saying how happy they are for you - those show that the marriage is genuine.

You should get your confirmation within a month, and a decision within 6 months.

It depends entirely on how confident you are that you can prepare the application yourself.

Yes, EEA spouses get permission to work while the application is being considered.

Just make sure your application is as thorough and as full as you can make it, so they don't need to come back to you for further information.
