a jobseeker
a worker
a self-employed person
a self-sufficient person (someone who can support themselves financially), or
a student.

Please precise your question.

1. Are you an EEA national?. If you are an EEA National, you no need to obtain any visa before entry to UK

2. If you are an Non-EEA National dependant family member of an EEA national, then you need to obtain visa (EEA family permit) before entry to UK. This is normally an entry clearance based on EU law. If you prefer to stay with your EEA national who are qualified as a worker or self sufficient or self employed, then you may apply resident card.

You can stay (and your spouse) as long as you are no unreasonable burden, which usually means as long as you do not receive benefits. Obviously you need some money to live, so if you have that, you could also qualify as self sufficient. You do not have to leave just because the EEA family permit runs out.

You can apply using forms EEA1 and EEA2 even if you are seeking employment, but it is more difficult. The problem is that you need to proof that you are actively looking for a job, and that you have a reasonable chance of finding one. So you need to present invitations to interviews and your qualifications. Also you need to find a job within a reasonable time (somewhere between 3 months to 1 year) - otherwise it is assumed that you have no chance of finding a job.

thanx for your replay.
that means she can stay so long i find the job and apply for her resident card.
my question is:
1-after 6month she is not overstay.
2-is that problem when she applying for resident card.
3- how much money must we have to qualify as self sufficient.

Well, actually you can stay as long as you have money.

my question is:
1-after 6month she is not overstay.

Correct: she automatically has a right to stay because she is married to you.

2-is that problem when she applying for resident card.

Possibly. If you apply with a valid EEA Family Permit for your spouse, with a job and all the other relevant document, processing your application should be very easy. If you do not have a valid EEA Family Permit, the Home Office may check your application more carefully.

3- how much money must we have to qualify as self sufficient.

If you have more than 500 pounds per person per months, you will be fine. You can apply with less if you show a reasonable budget, but in London that would be difficult.

PS: which country are you from? There are some restrictions for new member states.
