You can obtain a UK residence card provided your EU spouse is exercising a treaty right. In this case - Self sufficiency based on your employment? Remember that your EU spouse would need to take out Comprehensive Sickness Cover for the duration of Self sufficiency.If we move to UK can I get EEA2 if I am working and she is not?
Yes.Can we get it after we arrive?
Varied, but current averages are between 7 - 12 months.How long does it take?
Most probably not as you would need to convince employers of your rights to work in the absence of the appropriate permit.Can I work in the meantime?

Unfortunately showing a prospective employer legislation w/out a RC will most likely not work (many people have tried and confirmed this, me inclusive!).tom4 wrote:Plum 70,YesDo you mean that I can legally work but that employers might need to be convinced?I suppose that showing them the relevant legislation would take care of that?
For self sufficiency, yes.Hi Plum70 am in the same position here. is a comprehensive insurance the main requirement?
I am not sure, but I think only the self sufficient person needs this.And for me the HO has asked for a comprehensive HI that covers both of us, is mine needed as am working?
Have a read of the EU Directive 2004/38/EC and the Immigration (EEA) Regulations 2006Another question how did you get that info were you on the same position?
