How to get a visa in UK? - We are expecting a baby and are desperate!

Good Morning all,

I hope that there is someone in here, who could give us an advice on what to do to get visa/ work permit in UK.
My name is Natalia, I am 25 years old Polish woman and I have been living in UK for 5 years 2009-2014. Last year I went to San Francisco and I met Anthony (27). We got married in California in July last year and we decided to move to UK to be with my family who lives here. We've applied for Visa for Anthony in Sep 2015. First it was rejected because the Home Office send a letter to our neighbours instead of us and we didn't response to their letter on time. Then we've sent another application in Dec 1st 2015 along with his Biometric Card and we've received a letter saying we just have to wait and we shouldn't contact Home Office with any qustions. The lead-time is 6 months. Anthony, however called the Home Office couple of times, asking about his aplication, but never get any advice and was asked to wait. Tommorow is 1st of May, which is a deadline of his application and we still had no answer or letter from Home Office. I am 3 months pregnant and the only one working, as he doesnt have a work permit. We need to get him a work permit ASAP, start saving money and preparing for the baby. We are worried that his visa will be rejected or they will just keep us waiting forever.

Is there any other option that he ca get a visa/ work permit, even temporarly?

We will be very grateful for any advice.

Welcome to the forum .

I've just replied in your other thread, posted in the Visa section:

Essentially, since you are a Polish citizen, as long as you either either exercising your EEA Treaty Rights in the UK (by working) or you hold permanent residence in the UK, your husband does not need a visa to live and work in the UK.

He has the automatic right to live and work here because you are an EEA citizen. He just need to apply for a 5-year EEA Residence Card to show he has this right.

Normally, before moving to the UK, he would need to apply for a free of charge, 6-month EEA Family Permit to show he has the right to live and work here, then after arriving he can apply for the 5-year EEA Residence Card... and he can work while this is processing.

If he came here as a visitor, he won't currently have any evidence of his right to work, so it makes it more awkward. Either you're just going to have to wait to hear from UKVI again, or he could try to withdraw his application, fly back to the US, apply for an EEA Family Permit (takes a couple of weeks) and then come back to the UK again.
