Hi all, I've been reading a ton of threads in this EEA section, and though I've learned a lot, I'd like to ask if my plan of a possible move to London is realistic.
My spouse and I live in Germany. I'm American and I have a residence permit as the spouse of a German citizen. It's been fairly hard to find work here, so I've been looking for jobs in London. My spouse will be done with her PhD in the summer. If I were to be offered a job that would begin in, say, March 2014, I thought of doing the following:
We'd both go to London, and I'd get a Stamp 1A at the airport which would allow me to work for 6 months. We'd apply for our residence cards, but my spouse would return to Germany until she finishes, returning to London fairly often until the summer. She'd join me permanently in about 3 months.
I'm asking mostly because I'd like to know if it's realistic for an employer to see me as someone who would have the right to work in the UK if hired. Otherwise, they wouldn't bother calling me for an interview. Is it legitimate for me to claim that I could get the work permit, based on the process above?
Thanks for your input.
