Family Permit EEA, Questions on Applications

Hi everyone,

I am an EU citizen and I have been living in the UK for 10 years where I have a good job, and I can support both confidently. I got married with my wife that lives in Greece (but she is non-EU) this summer. Our relationship over the past was based on a lot of travelling (I have kept tickets, phone call bills message ects). I will give them evidence of all these plus the photo album.

Now the question is the following. The application asks:

"When did the EEA family member arrive in UK?"

Does this refer to the 1st time that I arrived in the UK (i.e. 10 years ago), or the last time (which was 2 months ago after our wedding)?

Your help is very much appriciated

From ten years ago but make sure you can back up with employment records like payslip etc

Actually the first 4 years I was doing a PhD, so I have a letter from Uni and the Certificate, and then I have payslips and letter of employment as well as P60's. So I will provide them with payslips of every 6 months, from previous work, P60's and a letter fromy my previous employer.

You think that's ok?
