British Citizen's spouse got EU Family Permit UK Visa?

[doncgeorge123]

Hi Friends,

I am a British Citizen and self-employed in Germany. My wife is an Indian and working as a Veterinary Doctor in Germany.
I moved to Germany by Dec 2014 and she was already a resident in Germany since 2011.
April 2015, she received EU Family Permit (Residence Card of a family member of a Union Citizen) due to the exercising of free movement by me.
(We got married only in last Sept 2014).
My questions are

1) If we want to visit UK for a short visit like a month or so, does she need any visa?
2) Whether we are allowed to go back and settle in UK as I exercised free movement for more than 4 months and my centre of life is in Germany. ( We got a rented accommodation and and she is having a permanent job here )

Please guide us. This forum is really supporting the people who is in a doubt about immigration.
Thanks

no, she does not need a visa under mccarthy - but you would have more luck at calais than at an airport boarding a plane though

that being said, Home Office guidelines to use surinder singh are 6 months relocation, so you will have a bit of trouble until at least July

legal opinion seems to be that over 3 months is OK legally but not sure how it would play at the border.... because HO people are trained on a "6 months" criteria -- and do carry evidence of your self employment in germany when you go
