Thank you wilsonwkz
I was wondering if there was a requirement for the wife to have been working for at least one year which i saw secret.simon had referred to in some other posts on this forum.

not at all. in fact recently one applicant's spouse only worked 2 months in her new job when they apply for residence card and the applicant got the it without any problem. Just follow the official guideline and you will be fine.

That is generally the rule for spouses of British citizens, who need to prove annual earnings of a specified amount. There is no such requirement for spouses of non-British EEA citizens.
Is the wife a non-British EEA citizen? If so, so long as she proves that she is a worker, her husband's application should be fine.
