Hi chaoclivechaoclive wrote:It will be fine. Why did you apply so early if you are only thinking about going back in May 2014? What 'date of entry' did you write on the application form?
Just apply for the residence card (EEA2) when you are back in the UK.
Don't forget you will be asked to present your German payslips (or other proof of your employment) when your wife is applying for EEA2. You must make sure you have these handy (even if they were submitted when you applied for the EEA FP, you must be able to provide them again!)....this might take some work. Also, you will need to prove that you were living together (contract etc)
The main purpose of the EEA Family Permit is to allow entry to the UK. Your wife could apply for the 5 years RC anytime you wish. The same day you land or several moths down the line (even after the FP expired). Under EEA Regulations there is no legal requirement to hold a valid "visa" as rights are obtained automatically. It is advisable to apply for RC to make it easier to prove those rights (to employers for example).john1978 wrote:Thank You very much jambo
