Savings and ILR..... and benefits will this lead to refusal?

[sally12345]

Hi All,

Just a quick question my husband and I have around 11,000 in savings which we have been saving for over the years.

However, hubby is due to apply for ILR in Jan and I wanted to know could his application be refused due to savings?

the reason I ask this is becasuse I am claiming CTC and CB is this going to be an issue even though we have a good amount of savings

Please help thanks so much I am worrying as you do?

Sorry to say enjoying any public benefit including CTC & CB during qualifying period for ILR will result to refusal. If you would look your visa stamp/ sticker you would see it is clearly written ' without recourse of public funds'

Did u declare the savings in the CTC form?

Can I just add that I am a British Citzen so therefore to my understanding I am entilted to claim this fund? my husband does not claim as he is not uk national

I did an over the phone application and was never quizzed about savings? so no I did not declare this infomation?

is this going to be an issue here?

Hiya

You are correct they do not ask you about savings, they only ask you for details of other income over £300. So if your savings earn less than £300 there is no need to declare this income.

Hi all well I have just been told that you will lose your right to claim benefits if your svaings are over 16,000 so your be happy to know that I am well within my limit and therefore my Husbands ILR should not be refused on that basis

thanks to those who helped me

I know exactly what you mean its so stressful, you feel like your life is on hold! I see that your Husbadns ILR is due Jan 2011, same time as my husbands. I have been scared stiff that they would change the laws before we get to it, but I think we will be lucky!!

What documents do you have if you dont mind me asking?
