Hi everyone
I’ve searched through the forum to find a relevant topic about my questions but couldn’t find anything so I’m posting a thread here and I’m hoping to get an idea of what we are facing.
We have to start showing 6 months statements/payslips for my wife’s ILR as we are approaching the last six months very soon but unfortunately since the pandemic I’ve been on and off jobs like many without any proper permanent jobs so far and right now I’m on part time job which isn’t enough to cover the £19k threshold.
My wife is expecting our baby right now and very hard for her to carry on working so I’m afraid this might end in us not being able to get the ILR for her at the end of the 5 years (second 2.5 year’s end).
Is there a way to deal with our current dilemma? She is Ukrainian and I was hoping if there’s anything new that would allow us applying for her ILR as easy as how the European guys are doing it, they pay nothing for their ILR and don’t have to show any income at all. I say this because I helped an Italian friend apply for her Brazilian husband and it took us 10 minutes and free of charge to apply for his ILR …!
Do we have any luck with this petition:

Thanks in advance for any thoughts put into this.
