I would appreciate if someone knowledgeable on this topic could answer my concern.
My sister in law a british citizen is trying to apply for her husbands Indefinate Leave to Remain. but she has problems, many problems to be precise.
Her Husband has NEVER worked in the UK as he was severely injured soon after coming here, about 2 months after arrival.
She has been unable to work since his arrival as he is still in recovery stage and requires care, he has had several operations and is still undergoing treatment. and also is suffering from depression as a result of his injury.
She claims income-based JSA.
They both live in a privately rented house and claims both Council Tax and Rent in only her name.
She has a Daughter 6 years old who was born in the UK and goes to school for which she gets Child Benefit & Child Tax Credits again both benefits are just in her name.
No Benefits are claimed under his name, his wife is just about coping with what she gets for herself and her daughter.
Due to his long term illness ( as he is house bound ) he has not been able to complete the compulsory English course required for ILR.
my question is, Would it be possible to apply for ILR considering his injury happened in the UK and he has a massive medical record of past and current treatment, although he does not have the English Qualification? but he has never claimed benefits in his name since his arrival to UK.
I tried to get Legal advise on the back of legal aid, but i've been advised he can't get legal aid is he has ' no recourse to public funds'.
so what does a person do who can't afford a solicitor, surely there must be something in place for people in a similar situation to this.
Please if you could give me some advise that will be greatly appreciated, as I will need to get his papers sorted within next week or two and have them sent off to UKBA.
