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.

Notes:
- My wife lost her job whilst the application was being progressed. Home office was informed immediately and she applied for job seeker allowance immediately to ensure that she still qualifies
- I had a pending appeal from my previous application, which the Home Office asked to withdraw before they could give out their decision. The appeal was withdrawn immediately and the Home Office was informed.

Thanks
