EEA Member sponsoring family member

Post by madona587 » Fri May 20, 2011 11:56 pm

Hello,

My wife is from a EEA country. I'm in UK on Work permit. (PSW)

She is moving to UK to live with me next month. We are legally married already. When she comes can she sponsor me as a dependant cause she is a EEA member ? Cause my work permit runs out in few months time and I'm unable to extend it.

I'm aware she need to work in UK and must be able to support me financially, But how long does she has to be working in UK ? Can she show savings ? I'm working full time atm and earn substancial. Can this be shown ?

I looked everywhere but cant find anything. Can someone help me please? Atleast point me in the right direction. Thanks.

She can be self-sufficient on the basis of your income but in the reading of the UKBA that would require separate and comprehensive health insurance cover for the both of you (see very recent discussions in this sub forum). The ECIS provide all the gory details.
