Indeed, in respect of a couple living together, not putting the claim into joint names is the problem. You are now doing the right thing in contacting the Tax Credits office and getting the claim put into joint names.My husband has not been named on my tax credits as i always thought that would be a problem
As an alternative to providing a pass certificate from the Life in the UK test he can provide a completion certificate from a combined ESOL/Citizenship course. When you describe the course he might take you do not mention any Citizenship content. Is there any? If no, then the course is totally useless as regards getting ILR.My husband has not passed the Life in UK citizenship test yet as he has contacted a school very close to our home who told him that if you do the ESOL test level 3 then you dont need the life in the UK test and just wondered if you can confirm this as he starts next week
That being the case, in my mind he should be studying for and hopefully passing the Life in the UK Citizenship test. Going that route would be cheaper, and has the advantage that he can study at home in his own time.His standard of English is very good for reading, writing and speaking its only his grammar that he needs as he has been using english as his first language over the past 3 years.
Not an issue. Some applicants on the spouse visa route will have never worked in the UK before applying for their ILR. For example, as a housewife, or house-husband. Not a problem at all.Also going back to him not working at the moment as he has been caring for me do you think that would be a problem for the Border Agency ??
It looks that this may change soon and a minimum income will be expected.And as regards the resource level, those considering ILR on the spouse route are under instructions not to reject applications merely on financial grounds.
