Hi,
We are ILR parents of a child born outside the UK. We are in the process of applying for a settlement visa for our child using the online form at
https://www.gov.uk/settle-in-the-uk/y/y ... ier-5-visa
At one point it says "are going to live with you and your partner and be supported by you without using public funds". When I search for the requirements at https://www.gov.uk/uk-family-visa/proof-income,
I see that the income should be 18600 + 3800 for first child and we must show that the earnings to be with a same employer over the period of 6 months.
Question: Do ILR parents too have to meet the income eligibility? I have my own house in the UK and accommodating my child is not an issue.
I have worked with multiple employers in the last year. Now opted out of work for the past 6 months and stranded outside the UK for the past 4 months due to Covid, I wanted to know how to prove our income.
My options are
1. Come to the UK and work for 6 months and then apply for my child
2. Have got cash savings of around 8000, short of 8000 of the 16000 required. So sell some stocks and arrange cash requirement of 16000 and maintain for 6 months and then apply
In either case, this means that I need to wait for 6 months minimum. Am I missing any options here ?
