EEA2 application and work permit
Posted: Sun Dec 23, 2012 7:15 pm
Hello
I am an non EU person who will apply for a EEA2 registration in January 2013, following my marriage here in UK with my European Fiance.
I understand from the UKBA page that it can take 3 to 6 months before the registration card is returned.
My question is: will I be allowed to apply for work straight after sending the application in and where could I find a law statement to prove this in case I am asked?
According to the UKBA webpage the EEA2 registration is not mandatory but very much advised as otherwise I will have problems in proving my right of remaining in the UK with my partner - however my understanding is that after the marriage I would have the same rights as she has, therefore I would think that I should be allowed to apply for work and work, should I be offered a job.
Many thanks
