Hi guys am new to this board and finding it really useful,
i have posted somewhere else but wanted to post here also, as everyone here is currently undergoing ILR applications and may be in the same situation as me, please help me if you can,

Need to apply next two weeks for IRL SET(M)
I am British and my husband entered on the spouse visa 2011 July,
he has had a struggle keeping a job, i am self employed and after tax deduction don't earn £18,600 (the new minimum income threshold!)
my question is has anyone successfully being granted IRL in this last year without meeting the minimum income.

Ive read mixed messages some saying if you already applying and have been inside the uk since 2012, it doesn't apply to you,

others say if you are applying for settlement after July 2012 the new rules DO apply to you,

can anyone please shed any light on this for me, as im sure someone must know, please don't send me links from UKBA as there are mixed messages and the way they word it don't give you any confirmation,

many thanks

Hi All,
I am nov 12 applicant bio done mid jan 13.

I need your help/advice please. only got 5 days to return all info ..Thanks in advance.

I'v got letter from UKBA/Case Worker stating that my application for settlement is based on family reasons and full time employment. However you/I have not provided any evidence to demonstrate this.

What evidence do i need to provide to prove that i am in full time/ permanent employment?
I sent with my application: P60 for 5 years, 20 weeks of payslips and letter from my employer stating my position, average earnings and date i started.

I have copy of my contract but photocopies are not accepted and i lost original some years ago.

Can i get my employer to write me a formal letter again stating that i am in permanent employment?

Family reasons i stated that my mum's health has deteriorated since my arrival and that i am helping my mum as much as i can and to cover this i can sent my mums medical history report.
