I have EEA family permit visa which will expire on 21st of June 2019, has been issued due to marriage to EEA spouse. I though I can work legally with it and also got permanent job contract which supposed to start form 1st of April. I already sent ss of my visa and explained my circumstance to my employer...
I arrived to the UK on 29th of March with my spouse. She was looking for a job during March and got permanent job contract from 8th of April. She visited job center to get job seeker status to be qualified person but they do not give such status unless you are in the UK for more than 3 months and looking for a job...
Once in the UK, I made a few phone calls to home office and NINO. SOme of agents says that I can work but I need to make an application etc, some of them says that I can probbaly work but they cannot confirm it and some of them says that I cannot work with 6 months EEA visa in any way- it is end of story, employer will verfy it and in case if I work they can be punished up to 20K GBP...
Employer is global known and big company, they already provided us relocation pack which costed a lot for them. So, what do i do? If I am not allowed than should go to HR tomorrow and tell them that I cannot? Because of this uncertain situation, I will be loosing my contract and need to recover the cost of relocation pack and reliability

By the way my wife applied to pre-settled status and awaiting decision email
I also applied to pre-settled status under her sponsorship and need to give biometric info tomorrow at the UKVCAS center then will be waiiting for the decision. (Customer support says that for Settle-presettle application there is no requirement as BRC like sponsor to be a qualified person etc, they advised to complete the application and wait for the email confirmation, they said that email will confrim the rights and I can show the employers. But no info that when/how long they will make a decision)
Any advice?
