Hi all,
I'm applying for ILR using the Set(M) application form, having spent 5 years on a FLR(M) visa. I am married to my partner who is a British citizen; we have been married over the course of the 5 years. I have lived in the UK for a total of 8 years (previously on a student visa).
In filling out the application online, I have come to the financial section. For some reason, it does not provide me with the option of selecting my partner as the source of income; the only option is to select myself. Does anyone know how to get over this hurdle? I am sure there must be a way, as there will be many people who will be, e.g., non-working mothers and therefore relying upon their partner for the sole source of income. I cannot choose not to 'tick' any boxes relating to myself; it is forcing me to select something.
By way of background, I am currently self-employed and make over the financial limit but it will be extremely onerous for me to get all of the documentation together, especially as I am in the first year of this role. My husband, on the other hand, has received a salary in the same position over the last 3 years. I would very much prefer to rely on his income if at all possible!
Many thanks in advance for any assistance.
