Hi, i arrived heathrow airport on 5th august under eea fp with my wife. it was first time so i took non eu line, so entry officer asked 2-3 question then stamp on my visa and i enter UK. today when i was going to make copy my passport and NI for job interview i noticed that there is another stamp on my visa. i cant clearly read but seems like its write "EMPLOYMENT AND PUBLIC FUNDS PROHIBITED" i upload in my dropbox here https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/189 ... 185428.jpg please check and if it stamp like this what i suppose to do now?

P.S : We are married couple.

You should complain. UKBA have a complaints procedure.

To be clear, this type of stamp should not be put on EEA family permits.

It would be a good idea to apply for a residence card.

Complain in parallel and see what they say to it.

Apply for residence card. You will receive a COA. This will clarify your right to work. The COA should be issued immediately.
