Hi
I am new here and I hope that you can help me with my queries
So I am Italian and I am now living in the UK. My wife is a Moroccan citizen however she has an Italian Permanent permit of stay for Italy.

I recently lost my job and am claiming benefits at present. I am hoping for my wife to join me in the UK, but I do not know what I have to do for her to qualify to be allowed to join me here.
Could you please help me and give me some advice

Kind Regards

Yassine :D

How long have you been living in the UK for and worked for, and what is the reason for your being on benefit, was it a lifestype choice, or where you made redundant, and what type of benefit are you in receipt of.

I have only been living here from February 12th 2013 however I was living here before in 2011 for 1 year. I came back to work for my old boss but his business broke down and I have found myself without work. I am looking for work and am at present on Job seekers benefit. I am hoping that I will find work very soon. Certainly not a lifestyle choice...that would be crazy
