Applying for Residence Card EEA2
Posted: Fri Jul 22, 2011 1:25 pm
My wife and I are in UK under the Surinder Singh ruling as she entered on an EEA Family Permit.
She would now like to apply for a Residence Card.
Before I though that if she was working and supporting me but I was not working we could apply but according to new rules the EEA family member has to be working not the non-EU spouse.

Do you have any information or experience of this?
Is it done to right of residence? if which case I, as a British Citizen already have a right of residence so should she not be granted a Residence Card irrespective of whether I am working or not?
I will be a student in September but as I have no income I cannot apply as a student unless I get a part time job which I believe would be sufficient to apply for the Residence Card where as my wife who is working full time is not?
