Hi there Mari, welcome here to the forum.

Hope you'll soon settle into UK life

May I very kindly suggest you apply for residence card.

Take a look at the UKBA webpage called How to apply for residence documents as the non-EEA family member of an EEA national

The application forms can be found at the right-hand side.

It's not mandatory, but will offer many important benefits for you.
Be prepared to wait up to 6 months max.

Mari can't apply for the residence card now as her passport (and only proof of identity) would be unavailable for 3-6 months. We need to register with a GP first, open a bank account for her and finish the application for her prospective employer first. For all this we need proofs of address.


This PoA thing in the UK is just crazy, especially considering that I get more bills for persons unknown to me than for myself. What a silly system.
