She doesn't need to be a qualified person for the first three months of her stay; this is called an initial right of residence. Search for this.CatV wrote:Thanks!
I am currently unclear whether she needs to fall under one of the "qualified persons" requirments, given that she's in the US with me.
She has applied to a couple jobs already in the UK, but nothing exhaustive. She doesn't live there yet, so exactly how much work do they expect her to have done?
Thanks! So... marriage certificate, joint lease, joint bank account, letter declaring her sponsorship and her intent to work... Anything else that is helpful? Do I need her original Irish passport or a copy? Any financial info? Do I need pictures?chaoclive wrote:She doesn't need to be a qualified person for the first three months of her stay; this is called an initial right of residence. Search for this.
She doesn't need to have a job before arriving, nor does she need to have applied.
I was in the same position in July. I entered (before my civil partner) and secured a job which started after he arrived. No issues whatsoever.

I'm not sure what to put in for "length of stay." I will immediately apply for a Residence Card to stay, but I have heard of people running into problems when putting in a length of time longer than the 6 months of the EEA Permit.

Yeah, that's why I wonder if I should mention that it was only recently legalized.chaoclive wrote:Oh dear. I'm not really sure about that. We had been in our civil partnership for three years before that.
In theory, the marriage/civil union should mean that you don't need to provide any other information about your relationship, however, as the marriage is less than two years (the amount of time needed for durable relationships to be recognized), it might be a good idea to state some background to your relationship in the cover letters provided.
I hope someone else will come back and comment on this as it's a little different from our situation!
