Child Tax Credit when only 1 Parent got ILR

Post by Hardikjshah83 » Wed Sep 03, 2014 2:37 pm

hi,

I have recently got ILR (10 year route) and my wife got 2.5 years Visa as my dependant(not ILR)

we have a 3 year old daughter - can I apply for CHILDCARE TAX CREDIT, and if so does it affact my wives eligibility for ILR when its due?

thanks,

HS

You can. As strange as it may seem you need to claim in joint names. This won't affect your wife's ILR application.

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.
