Hello everyone,
I am Igor, Brazilian citizen.

Unfortunately I stayed in the UK over my visa from JUN/2017 till SEP/2018 when I got married with my partner (Portuguese citizen) in London. We went to Brazil for our honeymoon and we came back to London on 23rd November 2018 and the immigration officer stamp a kind of "visa"on my passport saying:
"Admitted to the United Kingdom under the immigration (EEA) Regulations 2016" as the immigration officer was very rude with us I preferred to do not ask anything else to him about my visa and just go back home.
I called to some visa solicitors in London and they said that I do not have the rights to stay/work in the UK and that I need to leave the country in 6 months. I called to the immigration as well, to the work department and they said that this visa is already a FAMILY PERMIT, but they don't know if I can work with it.

My questions are:

1. Do I have the rights to work with this stamp/visa?
2. Does it have a limit time?
3. Shall I apply for the residence card or I can stay in the UK with this kind of visa?

Thank you in advance,

Igor.

You are expected to have a biometric Residence Card or a Certificate of Application stating that you have a right to work.

Not on stay in the UK, but you may have issues if you leave and reenter without a Residence Card.

The first option.

Be aware that because of the overstay, the earliest you can apply for British citizenship (which comes under UK law, not EU law) is the tenth anniversary of your marriage (when you again acquired legal residence in the UK).
