With the marriage visa, you're husband is granted indefinite leave to remain after 2 years and provided you are both happily married after two years then he will be granted settlement and citizenship after another 1 year.Exquisit33 wrote:Guys I know I am thinking way ahead of myself and time.. but I was wondering how does ILR work?
What kind of documents should I start preparing or will be needed at the time of ILR for my hubby.
When is one eligible to apply for ILR?
1. Does my hubby need to start work, additionally pay Tax to prove he has been working?
2. Do we need to have a joint bank account in both our names?
What else is needed?
Thank you
The requirements are pretty basic in that you aren't relying on public funds for income, and have suitable accommodation and aren't planning on separating.
Both of you will need to show proof that you can support yourselves so I am guessing he will need to have his own bank account. No criminal offences. One thing is the Life in the UK test, which he will have to sit after 2 years depending on which English Language Test he done before applying for the visa.
I would think by showing proof to support then he might need to have work from somewhere, but you applied for the visa and got the visa, so if you can prove that you are both relying on you're income solely from employment then that could be fine too, because you're husbands visa was granted on that basis....
