Can non-EEA spouse of EU national stay if EU national leaves

Post by polkangur » Fri Aug 28, 2015 5:21 pm

Help!

I am an EEA national married to a non-EEA national and we were married in the UK in September 2012. I have lived in the UK since 2008 and my wife since 2010. We both work full-time and my wife was granted her EEA2 in December 2012, which I gather is now the EEA Family Permit. I have been offered employment outside of the EU, which would involve relocating and we are considering our options.

Does my wife have to leave the UK, if I accept the employment?
Is there any way she can stay in the UK via the retained rights path?

Thank you for any advice.

She will have to go with you if you left.

Unless of course you divorce which is wholly inappropriate
