Thanks Mrlookforward, you have been helpful answering my queries. I also would like to know if they are eligible for child tax credit. If yes, should this be made as joint claim? Will this effect his wifes application in future?mrlookforward wrote:Yes, correct.snowhite wrote:The youngest born in nov last year. So it was before he received his ILR in JAN. So i guess they all 3 have to register as you have said in your 1st reply.
thanks for your enlightenment in regards of the law, im being educated more and more regarding immigrations now, which used to be something i wouldnt bother to educate myself.mrlookforward wrote:Yes, your friend who got ILR is eligible to apply for child credit, or any other benefits he is entitled to. The benefits that require joint claim of husband and wife, must have the details of both husband and wife, even if the wife is an overstayer. Not mentioning wife's name where it needs to be mentioned will amount to benefit fraud.
Whatever you have heard about new rules coming out for naturalisation is utter rubbish. Earned citizenship is likely to be introduced in July 2011, but it won't effect people who already have ILR or applied for ILR before that date. Such people can apply for naturalisation under current rules upto July 2013. Your friend who got ILR under legacy can apply for naturalisation 12 months after the date he got ILR. Legal residency requirements of past 5 years are currently relaxed for people granted outside the rules (legacy). These people are being routinely granted naturalisation even if they were totally illegal before getting ILR.
