Husband Waiting for ILR advice needed!!!!

Post by Row » Thu Jul 23, 2009 1:47 pm

My husband has been on a marriage visa for two years and we sent off for his ILR on 18th May (his remiain to stay ran out on 28th May). Today he received a call from the Home Office asking him about stamps and visas in his passport etc. He explained that those were when he was living in Italy prior to the UK, they realised and said they understood now, they just got him to give information about his son and myself (his wife). What do you think? In process? Anyone experience the same?

All the doc were provided

Bank statements 1 yr
Payslips for 1yr
6 letters in both names
Additional letters in each of our names
Council Tax, HMRC, utility bills, tenacy agreement
Marriage cert, paper part of driving licience,
Son birth cert, child benefit and tax credit letter
Letter from myself confirming marriage and living together

My only concern is that I have had 11 months of Maternity Leave after my son was born and I am now starting back to work part time, but hadn't received any pay slips since starting back. So this means that my husbands salary plus my maternity leave pay. Do you think I should send in my pay slips now, as we have no savings etc. I am now earning £833 per month.

Any advice welcome.

:D

You don't both have to be employed as long as you can support yourselves on your husband's earnings.

Yes I thought this but got confused when thinking I was meant to be his sponsor.
Thank you

Also not sure that his earnings are sufficient. Can I send additional information? Also does anyone know about the phone call?

Cheers

Where to? Only send additional documents when/if they are requested, which would usually be by letter through the post, with a specific deadline by which to respond.

Ok so that is me then. But I guess if we can both support ourselves then that is still fine. Though I would be happier sending my own pay slips to support the application. What does anyone else think?

Send payslips from both of you.

They already have the application and all the documents, so how can I send additional docs?

My husband applied for ILR in March this year. When he got a letter from the Home Office acknowledging receipt of his postal application it gave an address on the bottom for where to send additional documents once your application has been submitted - hopefully your husband will have a similar letter as it looked like a pretty standard letter.
