Hello
What are the criteria to marry EU citizen. My current Uk visa is expiring end of next month. Me and my girlfriend are planning to get married soon. I need some help with the treaty rights. Does she have to be in full time employment or part time will do as she is on part time at the moment. Also she is on some benifits, does she have to stop them, for me to apply for the visa.
Please advise

Your question is very unclear, but:
-an EEA national can exercise treaty rights as a part-time employee.
-in theory receiving benefits while working should not be a problem as far as exercising treaty rights goes but in practice it is likely to attract scrutiny. without any relevant background information, it is impossible to advise further.
