Yes its the housing advisor.

The advisor is wrong to include your husband in the assessment and to do so will harm his future. The advisor should assess the application on the basis of just you and your child. Obviously that may mean a smaller property is allocated but that can't be helped as your husband has no entitlement to...

I think it's extreme wishful thinking on the part of your uncle to assume that his parents can make sucessful settlement applications. Or maybe he is already aware of the near impossibility and is simply using this as an excuse to ask you to leave so he can alone. You can apply for housing but your...

Hi all, My husband got here over a year ago on UK spouse visa. I am a british citizen as is my 2 yr old son. We have been living with my uncle but he will soon be applying for his parents visas to come to the UK, so he has asked us to leave. I have applied for a council house and want to know whethe...

You can make a joint tax credits claim if you are settled/British. If you have no children or disabilities, you'll have to be working at least 30 hrs per week. Thanks for your reply. :) We have 1 child. So, it doesn't matter if my husband (who isn't a british citizen) is working more hours than me?...

Hi all, I want to know whether I can claim working tax credits jointly with my husband, who is here on a spouse Visa (he came last September). I am currently working 9 hours a week and my husband is working with an agency whenever he's needed, so he doesn't have fixed working hours. However, he does...

The case would be supported if he had a job offer. Saying that you can easily get a job is not the case and in the current climate is not very accurate. The savings will help but a job offer would be good. Okay, thanks. Would a job offer suffice in the form of a signed letter from the prospective e...

Is there any savings or a part-time job and does the partner have any prospect of a job? Approx £1000 in savings and though he doesn't have an official job offer it will be fairly easy to get a job as a warehouse or telesales operative. And she doesn't have a part time job. Will this help her case?

Hi i am exactly in the same situation i have recently applied for my husbands visa in pakistan under these rules ill let you if i hear anything from them. Good luck Thanks for replying Sonya. Can you list what you sent as financial proof? How many bank statements? And did you get any professional h...

This is a list of benefits/income she receives every month: Carers allowance £239 Child tax credit £250 Child benefit £85.20 Income support £180 tot...

Whats the maxium days taken for a reply? The most i've seen is 125 days, anyone gone over 125 or know anyone? Thanks My husband received his VISA after almost 7 months of wait. Visa submitted in ISL on 24/02/12 Passport received: 17/09/2012 Approx 141 working days. Contacting the MP did nothing to ...

Leila-that info about processing times is pretty inaccurate as mirpur seems to be the only centre at the moment making quick decisions! Actually it shows on the table that Mirpur has made the largest amount of decisions at 242 in July, giving them probable cause to lag behind in their decision maki...

It will be 120 days for me tomorrow- let's see if the UKBA will adhere to their customer service standards and reply...

You need to show that you have at least the amount of the income support level of a couple in your circumstances-i.e. A couple with one child. Given that you are working and earning more than income support, and don't have to pay rent or council tax you meet the maintenance requirements as they sta...

what is your total income including benefits per week and how much do you pay for rent/council tax? £149.42 child and work credits weekly £205 net pay. Weekly. I also receive child benefit at £81.20 monthly I live with my uncle and therefore do not pay rent/council tax/etc. He is the homeowner. My ...

As regards passing the accommodation test, what information and documents are you intending to supply? In particular, what information are you going to supply to show the the property will not be overcrowded as defined, if the spouse visa is issued? I have a land survey of the house attested by a s...

In any way? Well yes, receiving the benefits makes it more likely that the financial test will be passed, and accordingly makes it more likely the spouse visa will be granted. Thanks very much replying all of you. And so sorry for posting in the wrong section :oops: What is this financial test? And...

Hope u can clear this up for me.

Hi everyone, Im in the final processes of completing my application for my husbands visa. However, Ive reached a glitch as someone has kindly informed me that receiving child and work credits will result in my husbands visa being denied. Is this true? I have a 13 month old baby and I am working full...
