They entered on a spousal visa with Leave to Remain granted 2.5 years ago. There is explicit guidance available under Tiers 1 - 5 which I highlighted and I don't see any reason why that should not apply in our case. That would mean that he should give up any work and make himself entirely dependant ...
I'd be grateful for any advice or for any similar experiences that can be shared on this. My partner will be applying for ILR on the 5 year route. Her son, who entered with her and on her visa as a dependant will be turning 21 soon. I have not been able to find any specific guidance on what constitu...

It's just a matter of ensuring that the time I spend proving an income is not lost by an overly strict in...
I am employed on a nil-earnings contract which in effect means I only work overtime. This aspect of your employment contract is likely to introduce complexities of an adverse nature. Your immediate concern is that they will examine your contract, P60, and conclude that your income is unsubstantiate...
My understanding is they will take your minimum earning month of any of the previous 6 months and use this for your income calculation. I belive if you work for 6 months give this job up prior to applying then you may have problems as you no longer have the job your income for the previous 6 months...
