i am on ILR from last year from 5 yr work permit and now want to apply for my wife and kids who were my dependents all this time. I could not apply for their ILR as they were abroad.. now the whole confusion.. here is what home office advised below on how my dependents should apply for ILR.
"As a dependant of a Work Permit Holder, you may apply
for Indefinite Leave to Remain provided:
You were admitted with a valid United Kingdom entry clearance as the spouse or child of a Work Permit holder.
The main applicant has been or is at the same time being granted indefinite leave to remain;
The applicant has been, and will continue to be maintained and accommodated without working or recourse to public funds. You will need to submit a SET(O) application form and pay the prescribed fee if you are not applying at the same time as the main Work Permit holder. "
Obviously I am entitled to apply for child tax credit which I have done but the bold info is very unclear.. does this mean my wife should not apply for tax credits or does it mean i should not apply...
jhon .... please advise or any friends who have info on this topic. thank you
