Child Benefit

[jigars143]

Hi

I am on ILR (10 year route). My child was born last month and want to claim Child Benefit. DO I still need to identify myself as PAKISTANI National on Form CH-2 ?

ALso, will this effect in any way my wife's application as I still need to apply for FLR(M) for her.

I will appreciate your quick response.

Thanks

If you only have ILR, then you are still a Pakistani national and need to complete the form appropriately.

You can claim child benefit in your name. Should not be an issue with FLR(M) for your spouse.

Thank You CR001

Could you please advise if my Wife needs to have Life in UK to apply for FLR(M)?

I thought it is needed only when she will apply for indefinite leave but one of my friend says she needs for FLR(M) as well.

Your help is much appreciated.

Thanks

No, it is only for ILR. She will need to meet the English A1 test for FLR(M) though.

Your wife will also have to pay the new NHS surcharge before submitting her FLR(M) application. This will be £500 in addition to the visa fee. https://www.gov.uk/healthcare-immigrati ... n/overview
