I am an Irish citizen living and working in the UK - my partner is from NZ and has been here on a youth mobility visa for the last 2 years.
We have just applied for the EEA EFM Residence Permit for him and I have two questions I'm hoping someone might have an answer to.
His current visa (youth mobility from NZ) expires in May, but we are not expecting a decision on the EEA EFM permit until end of August - can he remain in his current job while the application is pending? We have a certificate of application - does this cover him?
Secondly, if we get the residence permit

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!
Any people in similar circumstances that could give an idea of timelines of the EEA EFM permit would be really appreciated too - is it definitely 6 months??
