if i try to apply for dependant pass for my parents, and it magically succeed without cheating of course, will this have any negative impact on my applying for citizentship next year?

Thanks

My mum is 64 and my dad is 69. They have their own retirement pensions and theoretically financially independent of me. But I know husband/wife holding work permit can apply dependant pass for their spouses even if their spouses are earning sufficiently. Will this apply in this case too? any clue? A...

Hi I have just got ILR. Now I plan to get my parents here. I intend to apply dependant pass for them so that we do not need to count on date. questions are: conditions for applying the pass for them? ( all my parents' children are either working or studying abroad) will this affect me applying citiz...

hi My sympathy. If you go through all the posts on this subject, you will find out all will depend on when you applied for this child tax credit - if it was before 2005 and you filled all the information on the original application form honestly, it is not regarded as your fault and the chance is yo...

Hi

I have got my ILR approval back on 3rd April. There was very few people queuing there compared to normal time. I would think I am really lucky.

Thank you guys for the info and help. Good luck all!

PS I will apply for all benefits now

Hi, As posted before, I submitted ILR application in a face-to-face interview but the documents were retained by HO for further consideration for Child tax credit issue. That was on 9th Mar. I have not got my documents back yet. I have arranged travel on 4th April already. Have faxed the air tickets...

You did make good point John. I called HMRC a while ago and asked the advisor how the Credit tax application form changed. She replied back IN HER KNOWLEDGE that there was no change and the 'subject to immigration control' had always been on the form. and she was not aware that the list of public fu...

If it was phrased like that, I will definitely not cross it. as least if I read it carefully.

That is a relief to me. Thank you John.

Thanks John. I am addictive to this forum a bit now. Can you offer some clue on the part highlighted in blue font? that is: [quote] Going back to Mid 2003, is there a question of 'subject to immigration control' on the tax credit claim form? I asked this because one of my information source said thi...

thanks John. Does Chinese alone have this implication or is generally to some other countries? Going back to Mid 2003, is there a question of 'subject to immigration control' on the tax credit claim form? I asked this because one of my information source said this only appeared after 2004 or so. I f...

FAO JOHN

Seems you have knowledge on the impact of nationlity on this kind of issue. So could you kindly tell me that? I am chinese, and my husband, and my child.

Thanks.

probably I shall have my financial advisor to look after this, if i can afford it..

Or I will have my daughter become one when she grow up because there is this big demand in the market

there are two nightmares here: one is the government which is not resolvable and i could not blame them unless they invite me to do so!

another is my filing system. I think if I can be sure that I filled the initial tax return form (TC600?) correctly I shall be all right.

Thanks for all the contribution. Concluded from what has discussed here, as long as i did not say i was not under immigration control the case should be OK?

And John: As Chinese Nationalist for all my family, any impact?

It seems John's point is more close to my situation. I have checked HMRC website just now and it states the procedure as at the end of the year HMRC will issue TC602(C) to us. We check it and obligation lies on if there is any change in circumstances like income or martial status.

No I do not think I actively renew the claim to credit every year as both my husband and I am not high-tax payer. so i did not do self-assessment every year as all has been done through PAYE system. Is this sensible?

At that time I had no clue about this so i did not make any efforts to explain it except presenting her all the facts. she said it might be awarded by mistake and should pass if the money is refunded. but what is 'by mistake'? I could not remember what I did to get the credit. Did person first arriv...

any idea on the how home office decides if I received the credit errorneously or not?

any good lawyer recommended?

How well do you think I can use that to defend myself? any example?

so serious? Is it classifed as an error by HMRC ? And this is not even child benefit which I am definitely not eligible to.

I am ignorant enough to follow any updates .... So what do you think my chance is? From what the officer said it seems all right but not sure about her words

I am too agitated and forgot your second point. Yes I stated I received the credit.

On your third point, I really could not remember - it was filled back in 2002 and I do not have good filing system.

I am desperate to get through ......

Thanks for any info .. but wish that is a good one

Thanks for reply. It is on bank statement. The thing is, On Dec 2004 when I renewed my visa, Home Office has asked me if I received Child Tax Credit. I wrote to them saying yes and showed them Inland Revenue Yearly Statement. I got renewal without further questions.

Hi Pals, I was really upset when my application for unlimited leave to remain was put to further consideration during a face-to-face-interview last week. The reason is that I have been awarded Child tax credit since about 2002 and it was said not I was not eligible as I have been holding work permit...
