First point ... not after six months .... you apply before the expiry of the 6-month EEA Family Permit.how can I extend my family permit after 6 months in UK
You are not required to apply for a Residence Card in the UK. You can, if you want, apply any time after you arrive in the UK.John wrote:First point ... not after six months .... you apply before the expiry of the 6-month EEA Family Permit.how can I extend my family permit after 6 months in UK
Technically correct but in practice it would not be possible for him to remain in employment without such an application.You are not required to apply for a Residence Card in the UK.
Does anyone know what happens if you apply for the Residence Stamp after the 6 month period has expired? (note: residence stamp for me because my partner is an A8 )Directive/2004/38/EC wrote:You are not required to apply for a Residence Card in the UK.

That being said, it is worth applying for one as soon as possible.
My wife is A8 Hungarian, has got her WRS and been working for 4.5 months so far (so has not completed an entire 12 months yet, so not ready for residence card).Directive/2004/38/EC wrote:Magarhe,
What is an "A8", that your partner is on?
The Residence Card is optional. You can apply for it any time after you arrive. 1 week to 10 years after you arrive. But...
The Residence Card is good for two things:
(1) entering the country hassle free
(2) proving to an employer that you are free to work legally
If an employer sees the Residence Card, she knows she can legally hire you. Otherwise you may have a hard time proving your right to work.
It is mentioned on the web site. It talks about how the Residence Card is optional. See "Guidance for EEA & Swiss nationals and their families (INF 18)" at http://eumovement.wordpress.com/info-united-kingdom/

This was something that I have come across as well, albeit in a slightly different variation. After a 'yellow Registration Certificate ' was granted with an application for BR1, showing that the Romanian national was dependant on her WP based husband, we applied with the BR5 for him and was granted a 'Residence card of non-EEA family member of an EEA national'.petkanov wrote:I am from BUlgaria, but came to the UK on EEA family permit with my wife who is Lithuanian 2 years ago when BG wasn't EU country. I got a job and we send the documents to the Home Office for EEA Residence Permit for my wife, and Residence Card as a family member of EU citizen for me. 8 weeks later she got a permit for 5 years, and I got my residence document stamped for 5 years. No WRS. My wife applied as a self sufficient person and we showed my payslips. So if you get a job, your eu spouce can apply as a self sufficient and you will get the 5 year residence card instead of the 1 year stamps for spouces of WRS registered people. I would recommend that route, as it is painless and totally legal. As a matter of law the UK doesn't require you to have valid EEA Family Permit, but if you travel abroad and your EEA family permit expired you need to get a new one. That's why it is advisable to get residence card to avoid inconvinient situations, but legally you are not required to have it.
Why didn't you mention the fact you are in Ireland on the other threads you started?petereliot1 wrote:me an my wife presently in ireland plan to move to uk, due to the eu1 crisis in ireland.

I am curious what you were asking the British embassy about that they said you had to have been resident for 6 months? For an EEA family permit?megmog wrote:I asked the british embassy and they said we need to be resident here (Ireland) for 6 months (which we have been) but my husband (non-eu spouse) will have to show evidence of his legal residence.. which we dont have whilst our application is being processed, they leave you in a sort of limbo - without a visa or even a letter to show his status.
