I wasn't referring to job seekers allowance. Assuming you don't have any children, did the council grant you housing benefits as a single person? Do you understand that your wife won't qualify for FLR(M) if you are only earning just over £500 per month? Benefits can't be included in the calculation.

You should be getting housing benefit as a SINGLE PERSON and the single person rate.

Yes, we all know what housing benefit pays for. The council housing benefit people are not immigration advisors. You need to check that you are only getting single person rate, which will probably be much less than you rent.

How did you meet the financial requirement for her initial spouse visa?

You will have to look at FLR(FP).

It's essential that you check with the Council Benefits office that housing benefit hasn't been calculated for a married couple. You alone are entitled to assistance with your rent as if you were a single person. Even an FLR(FP) application would be at risk of refusal if your wife has been included in the calculation.

Ask them "Have you calculated my housing benefit for a married couple or for me alone?".

Here's the link to the FLR(FP) application - partner route. It will be a 10 year route to permanent settlement (ILR).

You're not being a 'nightmare'. If members didn't have any questions, there wouldn't be a forum.

A1 level English only appears to be required if applying as a parent. See No 23 in this link

Repeating the question will not change the answer. The same question was answered on 21-Apr by noajthan and also on 25-Apr by Casa.

Please keep your FLR(M) queries in a single topic.

Hi casa thx for your replay, but according to 23. English requirement A1 level is only required to people who are applying as parent of child ... Not for the partner of family members living in the uk ( FLP )
Can you check that ones again please thx
