There is nothing in the rules that says the sponsor can't claim any benefits that they are entitled to, it's just they can't claim additional benefits. For example in your case child benefit in itself works out at over £200/month.srrooms wrote:Thanks for the link. This is interesting.
I know that people on a low income can claim some benefits as a family but surely I can not show that as means of income on my wife's visa application form??? My situation is slighlty different to the guy in the link as I am not in the UK, been married for 6 years and in that time we have never been apart for more than 10 days.
It will also be very hard to prove what my business/land is worth so better and easier for me to show the cash. However, how much would be enough. The guy on the link seems to think 12 months so is this reasonable? I think my monthly expenses would be about 1,000 whilst living with my Mam.
Thanks
hi alldjb123 wrote:As far as I know every UK resident who has no restriction on their stay in the UK who has children under a certain age is entitled to claim child benefit, so why should you not mention it if it strengthens your case by increasing your income?
With normal spouse visas (which are for 27 month) if you delay your journey for 4 months or more you won't be able to apply for ILR when the visa expires and instead will have to apply for FLR which costs more money. Assuming that your wife gets granted ILE with KOL REQ endorsement I don't believe there will be any issues delaying travel for more than 4 months
God obviously doesn't like me much. Today I got this: Your appeal against your UK visa refusal has been reviewed by an Entry Clearance Manager. The ECM has upheld the visa refusal and is not satisfied that you meet the requirements of the Immigration Rulesdsds wrote:hi alldjb123 wrote:As far as I know every UK resident who has no restriction on their stay in the UK who has children under a certain age is entitled to claim child benefit, so why should you not mention it if it strengthens your case by increasing your income?
