non-EU Spouse with Job Offer, EU spouse not looking to be employed
Hi,
I have a question about a non-EU spouse moving as a dependent of EU citizen. I am a non-EU citizen. My wife is a German citizen. I have a job offer from Switzerland and my employer is applying for my L permit. However, it will be better for us to move as a dependent of my EU wife.
Problem is that she does not have any job offer and due to a medical condition is also not looking to work in the next 6 months. Also it seems that I can become dependent on her only after she gets her B permit.
Lots of related Questions:
Is it possible for my wife to get a B-permit without a job. Most websites say, yes, but she needs to show sufficient means to sustain herself in Switzerland. Question is what are considered as "sufficient means"? Can she use my Job Offer in Switzerland to show for sufficient means? If yes, can she use my job offer before I get my L permit or after I get my L permit and start working in Switzerland. Finally, can she use my current salary in US to get her resident permit (before my L permit gets approved and I start receiving the Swiss salary/health insurance)?
I understand that this is a bit convoluted issue. But the simple question is just what is needed for an EU person to show as proof that s/he can sustain herself in Switzerland.
Thank you.
