I was unemployed, for the whole two year probation as I had a baby. My Husband who is a british citizen claimed child benefit and child tax credits.
All this did not effect my sucessin being granted ilr.
The peo officer just said he was there to establish that our relationship was genuine. He did not even ask for bank statements or payslips.
He took my youngest birth certificate, concil tax bills, elec and gas bills, my hospital appointment letter.
he did not ask for any phoocopies
In all it took 45mins and we were on our way
I hope this will help give hope to others waiting to apply. I will also recommend Solihull PEO as staff are friendly and less intimading
