From US to UK- studying and working

[efedalo]

Hello there,

My wife and I are planning to move to the UK from the US. Here are some details on us:

I finished high school in the US but am a EU national (I was born and raised in Europe). After I moved to America I got married.

From the research I did I learned that I do not need a work permit or UK residency to work or study in UK since I am a citizen of one of the EU countries. Is that right?

I also found out that my wife, who is American, can come with me and be able to work since she is my spouse IF she gets the EEA Family Permit (did I do my research right?)

Now, my question is how long will it take for my wife to get the EEA Family Permit and what are the chances that she will get it? Is it something hard to obtain?

Again, please correct me if I didn't do a good job doing my research on moving to the UK.

Thank you so much for your help.

Could the administrator delete this topic since it's not in the right place? You do not have to move (just delete it) becauseI posted another one on the right forum.

Thank you.
