Firstly, compassion is not always shown the UKBA, sadly.sanjhet wrote:Thanks for the heads up!!
I am thinking of applying while wife is in UK. Im sure I will put up a valid argument regarding the overstaying part and hope compassion is shown. My other concern centres around me still on benefits.... Will a refusal happen due to me claiming the said benefits?
It's not a question of life style. You need to show that you have the same amount of money available to the family as you would if your wife was also entitled to benefits. As you (presumably) aren't claiming for her, your income must be less than a settled couple in the same circumstances, so you probably don't meet the income test.sanjhet wrote:
AVJONES - I am on mean tested benefits and I am able to support myself and family on benefits, not a lavish lifestyle but I can manage without being overdrawn and my bank statements will reflect this. Would this not be sufficient for the HO. I am a UK born citizen and I have a right to benefits.
Thanks / Regards
Of course you can! as long as you are not claiming additional benefits on your wife. You are entitled to your social benefits. Paragraph 6A-6Ccould explain more on benefits/public funds.sanjhet wrote:Can I or cant I make any form of application for my partner to further her leave? any Form? while im on benefits.. ?
Yes, we don't know enough.HRY2005 wrote:I also think that could mean he's claiming additional benefits on behalf of the wife who is excluded from public funds. Just a thought.
