Thank you so much Amber. It's a big relief.

For completeness, where is your partner from? We both are from Bangladesh. We applied at the same time in January 2013. I got my ILR in June. Applied for child's Registration as a British Citizen last week. More than 6 months gone, still no result for the wife application. Thanks. If you've passed ...

Dear Amber, i hope you are doing well. I've just received my Housing Benefit and Council Tax Rebate letters today. I'm going to put the details below: Housing Benefit: The weekly benefit award: £177.79 Less overpayment recovery: £0 Net benefit payabele: £177.79 Weekly Gross rent/council tax: 178.85 ...

I would just wait till you get the Housing Benefit brekdown, they may just have put single parent and child applicable amounts. Once you've looked at the statement you'll know how they've calculated it. The applicable amount for a single person/lone parent is £71.70 and for a couple it is £112.55 t...

Ok thanks. Yeah Amber is really great and so is her advice.

The amount for a parent and child is the same as the benefit for a couple. You don't need to stop claiming. What are your concerns about your wife's application under the 'old Rules'? Thanks for the prompt reply. So you are suggesting not to stop claiming? Will it affect my wife current pending or ...

Thanks for the prompt reply Amber. I am working part time as we can't afford to send child in the nursery. Plus she is under 2. We both earn £19000 together. The lady at the council told me it's fine and they will calculate the amount based on me and my daughter as my wife is subject to immigration...

My concern is i am confused when will my wife be eligible once she gets her FLR. Some people say see ...

As I am assuming your wife is going to apply for settlement immediately after being granted flr(m) as she was previously a pbs dep? I would place the HB on hold until she is settled. I say this because more often than not, the partner who is subject to immigration control is given an applicable amo...

Hi all, I hope you all are doing well. I would like to ask all the gurus and experts about my wife FLR(M) application and benefits. I got my ILR last month. Still waiting for my wife application result. I also have a baby who is under 2. She was born here and we already applied for her registration ...

Yes, it was 10 years long residence. Then I guess I will just have to wait. I feel like I am stuck here, without passports and all. :( Thank you for the quick response. Don't worry, i don't think you have to wait that long because it seems Home Office is speeding up their services or trying to. 2 o...

Thank you all for the replies. I guess then i will have to work non-permanent jobs with full time hours. One more question, I found the in-person application after i have made my postal application. Is it still possible to do in-person application by just paying extra money and without having to go...

Payment deducted 13/05/2013 Biometrics completed 28/05/2013 and still waiting for the reply. Please can anyone tell me, if I can have a permanent job right now when my application is still pending? I am currently on Tier 4 student visa, expires on 30/09/2013. What do yoy mean by permanent job? I as...

Thanks a million Amber.

Thanks D4109125. We got married back home 6 years ago and then 4 months after marriage my wife joined me as a Student Dependent till she applied for FLR (M). Yes, she was granted PBS Dependent before July 2012. I read somewhere that time spent as Student Dependent does not count. That's why I am st...

If your wife was a relevant PBS dependent, and was granted a dep visa before July 2012 then CR001 would be correct providing she had qualified (2 years). If you were married in the UK you can get a copy of the marriage certificate. Thanks D4109125. We got married back home 6 years ago and then 4 mo...

But the benefits aspect of my answer is correct.

That's fine. Thanks again CR001.

Dear Gurus, I hope you all are doing great. I've received my ILR last week on the basis of 10 years long residence and would like to ask you some things: 1.
