I am currently engaged to an EEA national and to be wed next week. We plan on moving to the UK from the US in August where we both have employment contracts, however we have not found a permanent address in the UK.

We plan on applying for the EEA family visa which enables me to work in the UK (correct?). Do I (as a US citizen) fill this out or does my husband (EEA national) complete this and fill in details about me on it.

Will it be a major concern that we do not have a place to live yet? What other concerns should I be aware of in this situation.

Thank you in advance for the advice!

I have heard that the best way to work with this is to physically go to the UK as a traveler. Once there, you begin the process of citizenship. Especially since you both have employment there, and one of you is already a citizen, all you need is a place to live, I can't really see this being a huge issue.
