Greetings, Many thanks to this forum and great advisers for the wonderful work and helping people.
I have recently got ILR (After 5 years on WP and Tier 1 General) and have time before I apply for British citizenship, so as next step to get British citizenship, I would like to understand few things, kindly advise me on below queries:
1) JSA for my wife:
She came in UK in Nov 2010 got ILR with me in Apr 2014 (under 2 years rule for partner/dependent entered before July 2012)
She has been trying to get job here which is not easy and been doing some part time jobs when she gets. She is currently unemployed and looking for full time or part time job, my query is as she got ILR:
a) Can she get job seekers allowance (considering I am in full time employment earning aprox 39K per year) ?
b) If she gets JSA, will that impact future citizenship application (some thing like not meeting good character requirement due to taking benefits/ public funds)?
2) Council tax:
We have been living in shared accommodation with some shared facilities and been paying room rent which includes council tax and all utility bills, while applying for the citizenship, is there any requirement that we do need to submit council bills on our own name? Is this arrangement of living in shared house can cause any issue and do we need to move to self fully rented flat and pay council tax on our name?
3) NCS Service:
We live in woolwich/plumstead area in Greenwich council in London, there is no local NCS in this area, can we use any other NCS or as there is no local council NCS we only have option of applying by post for citizenship?
Please advise. Thanks in advance.
