Leaving before family residence card... is it a problem?

[kobrien]

I applied for my EU family residence card in November in Italy and am still waiting for it to be issued.

Unfortunately, my husband (UK citizen) is not happy and wants to leave in a couple of months for another job.


Will there be a problem if I apply for entrance to the UK (with intent of living there), BEFORE I actually get my Italian residence card?







Extra info:
I have a years multi-entry visa in addition to applying for the residence card. Dont know if that matters.

So long as your UK national spouse has been engaged in economic activity in Italy for at least six months prior, the UK will be happy.

Are you a visa-required national?

Make sure you keep every piece of documentation (pay slips, bank statements, ...) that show your husband was working in Italy. You will need these for the UK application.
