So the question is can it affect my friend's app as she has no savings in bank? Any idea?

If she stops taking benefit thats fine but she needs atleast 3months payslips. Savings does not count. She needs to show that regular wages are coming in her account.
Thats not my understanding. If the sponsor is claiming benefits that means they are unable to look after themselves without recourse to public funds and accrodingly will be unable to support the applicant. therefore they would fail in realtion being able to financially support the applicant as required by the immigration rules.amirtaheri wrote:My understanding of the benefits system is that as long as they are benefits to which the sponsor is entitled to in his/her own right this is acceptable in terms of her income, however, the spouse should not or would not be able to claim benefits nor is the sponsor able to claim additional benefits on the basis that she is now married....I think.
You are wrong! Or at the very least your comments are simplistic, about what is a complicated matter.this is my understanding but let me know if i'm wrong.
thanks for that useful information.John wrote:
UKBA accept, and quite rightly, that the sponsor for say a spouse visa is totally able to claim whatever benefits their circumstances dictate there are entitled to. However in determining whether the financial test is passed, para 6C of the Immigration Rules prevents any potential increased benefit claim, if the visa is granted, from being taken into account.
John- I read about this sometime ago. But now I am again a bit confused. for example, if a sponsor in UK is getting wages of 800 pounds a month, plus 100 pounds as working credit, and when the foreign partner arrives they will be eligible for 150 pounds. This will take their earnings to 950, a fifty pounds increase. So does this mean that only the earning of 900 can be claimed to be available to them or does it mean that the foreign applicant will fail due to the fact that their arrival in UK will increase the benefit entitlement of the sponsor in UK?John wrote:You are wrong!

AUIU, the levels or Tax Credits are the same for a sinlge person as for a couple, only changing with the amount earned in total.mrlookforward wrote:John- I read about this sometime ago.

Thanks for the info. I just wanted to know the implications of 6c on an applicant, not necessarily just about working credit or any other benefit. I dont know much about benefits, but I am sure there are benefits which get you more money if you have a partner.Wanderer wrote:AUIU, the levels or Tax Credits are the same for a sinlge person as for a couple, only changing with the amount earned in total.mrlookforward wrote:John- I read about this sometime ago.

The application will not fail just because of the possible increase in benefit if the visa is granted. But you are correct in thinking that, using your figures, they will only take £900 into account, and not the possible £950 that might arise if the visa is granted. That is exactly what para 6C is saying.mrlookforward wrote:John- I read about this sometime ago.

That is not correct. What is correct is that if the family unit includes one or more children, the Tax Credits are the same for say "couple plus one child" and for "single parent plus one child" .... assuming the same income and working hours for each of those family units.Wanderer wrote:AUIU, the levels or Tax Credits are the same for a sinlge person as for a couple, only changing with the amount earned in total.
