So excited that after 6 months of lurking this forum to research and prep, I can finally post about my own experience!

I'm a Canadian citizen with a Tier 2 valid until 2020, and my husband is Austrian and already has his Qualified Person Registration Certificate (as of May 1st 2017). We got married on September 5th, and applying for the Residence Card for myself.
