Hi ALL 
Just to clarify some things-
and would greatly appreciate some assistance
Im currently living and working in Belfast UK
where i am born and breed
me and my wife got married 1 year ago in HK
and she is currently here on a UK 6 month family visit visa
and she is Chinese citizen
i hold both Irish/UK passports
i seen on the UKBA website it states that a UK national can exercise there treaty rights by returning to the UK for work along with there non- EEA family member
heres the thread-
If you are a British citizen, you cannot ordinarily rely on the provisions of European law to bring your non-European family members to the UK. Instead, you should seek permission under the British Immigration Rules for those family members to enter and remain in the UK. See the Partners and families section for more information
However, the European Court of Justice held in Case C-370/90 that British citizens can rely on European law in circumstances where they are returning to the UK in order to work or settle here in a self-sufficient capacity after working in another European Union state. In these circumstances, the returning British citizen has the right to be accompanied by his or her husband, wife or civil partner, if they have previously been living together in the other European Union state.
though it dosent state how long need to be outside the UK for and cant find much more info about it!!
i was thinking- if i can find out how long i need to be outside the uk for then its looks possible to enter that way with my non-EEA wife
i think i read somewhere that UKBA require 3 months+ to be outside UK working in a EU member state
though cant remeber where i read this lol
if this can work then i plan to take off work unpaid leave for 3 months and both me and my wife go to europe find little work and then return using EEA
any advice greatly appreciate it!
PS
i earn above the 18,600 wage
though i work more than 1 job
and i have called the UKBA and they said to apply sponsor visa CAT A would be ok
but we all know the UKBA arnt nice ppl and refusals is something they like to do!
