Hello Gurus,
I know this question might have asked by several users before, but I just want clarification on few things?
Being living in UK on student visa since June 2001
got married to my british wife in 2008
switched student visa to spouse visa on 30th March 2009
going to apply for ILR first week of March ( within 28 days rule )
few questions regarding proof of living together finances etc?
we have our one joint bank account statements, gas/electricity bills on joint name, council tax on joint name, tenancy agreement on joint name, water rates on joint name, and birth certificates of our 2 kids on joint name.
Then I have couple of credit card statements and my NI contribution statements on my name and my MRS has her personal bank account statement. so I think we are OK to show that we have been living together.
My main concern is I am a self employed, and haven't filed my tax return yet, but i pay my NI contribution quarterly. my wife claims HB/ council tax benefit on her name, child benefit on her name and we claim child tax credit on joint names, and i claim WTC on my name.
after reading few posts on this site I believe that as far as i am not claiming for these benefits i should be OK.
Also we have approximately £7000 in our savings. so that should be helpful.
Please shed some light on this matter.
Regards
