My wife is from Austria (EU) and I am from the US. Can we move to the UK


My wife is from Austria (EU) and I am from the US. Can we move to the UK?
We currently live in the US. Am I correct in understanding that my wife can live and work in the UK as she pleases AND I can come along? If so, how long can we stay and are there employment restrictions for either of us?

As your wife is an EU citizen there are no restrictions on her, she can live and work in the UK . You as her spouse are entitled to apply for a spouse visa which will allow you to also live and work there as long as you meet their standard requirements. http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Employment/Understandingyourworkstatus/Migrantworkers/DG_181870 Edit - Came across this site where the info you need is explained better. http://www.ind.homeoffice.gov.uk/partnersandfamilies/partners/
