I was confused as to how much significance is put on the EU member having being employed in an EU member state...
I would say rather a lot to be honest.
I'm surprised to hear that it is important that the EU member be employed in an EU member state. I thought that as long as the EU member indicated an intention to exercise their treaty rights in the UK, and that the relationship with the non-EU member was credible, the FP for the non-EU member must be granted.
Why does it matter what the EU member had been doing, in terms of employment, prior to the application? Can an FP be denied if the EU member was unemployed?
