hi,I have read your case first of all you don't need to show that you were working only thing you should do If you could provide your previous part time employment records because you was a student so If you could provide that you were working part time it should be enough but If you havn't got then you do not need to worry at all.All you have to do because you are applying for a settlement visa so your husband should be working at that time of when you submitted your application for settlement visa.If so,you will be fine all you have to show that you were living with your partner from last 2 years It's more important to provide.
Rest of the things are ok.I don't think so there is any problem in your case.
just make sure couple of things
1.Proof of 2 years living together
2.At the time of Application your husband should be in full time employment to support you.
nothing else to worry.take it easy wish you all the best for you n your family in future.
thanks

Re:thats great but to be very honest if you would ask this question before sending your application I would suggest you to go in person to any public inquiry office to get your settlement visa on spot.but as you mentioned that you have already send it to the HO now all you can do just wait nothing I can recommend you anymore.More important thing is to show them that your husband can support you without any benefits .Nothing to worry at all just wait for the settlement visa.
If in case you have any further documents to be asked by HO don't feel any hesitation to discuss.
keep in touch with this forum until your final decision.nothing more
thanks

I wish I'd seen this thread before it got so far! You've been given incorrect information. Firstly, you don't have to show you've been living together for 2 years. This is the requirement for an Unmarried Partner Visa, not for a Spouse Settlement visa. Secondly, although this doesn't apply to you as you're in India, any member reading this should bear in mind that an application which isn't 100% straightforward should be submitted by post. The PEO officers don't have the authority to approve anything which needs referral to superiors.
You've done the right thing by the way in declaring your work in the UK. If you had withheld this information you would have faced a refusal/ban if it had been traced...which is easy for the UKBA to do. I know of someone who has recently been granted a spouse visa following an overstay and illegal working in the UK...which they declared in the application.
It won't matter whether your husband has 2 part-time jobs as long as the weekly income is sufficient to support the 3 of you. The Â£5,000 savings will strengthen the financial side of the application considerably.
Inshallah, everything will be fine.

Re: Ok you are in india right sorry for that I didn't notice that but any ways you have applied already so all the documentations you need you had already submitted so nothing to worry about it.even if you are in india then of course you husband needs to show that he can accommodate you n your child with depending on any benefits and must be doing a job/business to show that he can support his family.he needs to show that he got a house here in UK it should be 2 bedrooms and also he needs a survey report from a local estate agent plus he needs to show after paying the rent/mortgage he has Â£350/week savings then i can you you shouldn't have any problems.all the expenses would work in this way not just putting Â£5,000 in the account. Maintainance funds should be according to the property and the persons for example If you have a child under age then you need a one separate room for him/her normally 2 under-age kids can stay in one room but because you have 1 child you need to show one extra rooms means your husband needs to show that he is renting a 2 bedroom property plus after paying rent/mortgage and bills he should have Â£350 savings/week.If so, there would not be any problem for you.
I hope this u can understand now what it should be.
thanks
just wait n see

Khan with respect, where on earth are you getting these 'facts' from?
Firstly, you don't need a 2 bedroom property for a couple with a baby. Secondly, there isn't a need for Â£350 per week savings! The basic rule is after paying rent or mortgage, council tax and any credit/loan repayments you have a minimum of Â£105.75 remaining as a couple and Â£65 for the child. The need to include council tax now may also be in doubt. You don't have to include other bills, food or personal spending etc.
This is nowhere near the sum of Â£350 you've suggested.
I'm aware that every member is entitled to give an opinion, but please don't continue to advise incorrectly...you're just adding the Ayesha's concern.

Hi casa, we are here to help each others right the thing which I have told in that case you already admitted at the end.''This is nowhere near the sum of Â£350 you've suggested.''
so what else left for discussion i think nothing nothing at all.but you didn't mention this before I have told with explanation that how it works in simple and understandable manners.If you are renting a property you need to pay your bills plus council tax as well if you rent through an agent if you kindly calculate all the figures it would not be more than Â£350 which you have already admitted in your post.
thanks
thanks

hi thanks casa i showed them a 3 bedroom flat where my husband is living with his mother i explained 660 pounds of expenditure including him sending money to india for me and my baby he sends 100 pounds i subbmitted my western union money transfers were it shows he been sending money and i submitted my tenancy aggrement and the inspection report aswel and stated in the application that his expenses are around 680 pounds a month and he has remanings of 650 pounds nearly hope it works inshallah jus praying

Then it appears that you have more than enough to cover finance Ayesha and the accommodation is fine.
Ignore where Khan has posted "after paying the rent/mortgage he has Â£350/week savings". He certainly doesn't need to have this amount.
You'll need a letter from his mother stating that you can live there. If she owns the property, submit a copy of her mortgage agreement, or a copy of the deeds if she has no mortgage. If she rents the flat she will also need a letter from the landlord agreeing to you and your baby living there. She should state how many rooms the property has and how many people are currently living there.

Post by **Casa** » Sat Apr 23, 2011 9:29 am

Khan2015 The following from your post is incorrect:
Quote "after paying the rent/mortgage he has Â£350/week savings"

Also please don't advise members to include bills in the calculation. The UKBA Regulations are based on the level for Income Support, currently calculated at Â£105.75 for a couple. Only rent or mortgage and any loan repayments need to be counted. Most ECO's now also accept that Council Tax doesn't have to be included, but to avoid delay or confusion it would be advisable to include this.
Utility bills, Sky TV etc, personal spending, food bills do not have to be deducted from the weekly income.

Post by **Casa** » Sat Apr 23, 2011 11:43 am

Don't worry about not remembering the NI number. The important thing is you've told the truth about working.
Keep us updated with the application. The forum is here to help if you need anything in the meantime.

You should have got your medical back as you will need it on arrival in UK. If its lost its best to get another one done before you come into UK if you can. If not you may be delayed on arrival and will have to undergo one here at airport before they allow you through. If you can get copy of report from the pace that you had it, that should be OK
