Father in Law NHS bill not Paid - Impact on My ILR

[chansu2015]

Hi All,

I am planning to apply for ILR in July this year but have a query regarding non-payment of NHS bill for my father in law.

In 2014 my father in law was in UK on a visitor visa and I invited him over. During his stay he was admitted to NHS due to which his medical bill came out to be approx. £6500. He went back to India and has decided not to make a payment for it.

I want to check if this will have an impact on my ILR as I invited him to UK?

He did not have a medical insurance or travel insurance when he came over.

I am not expert on this BUT it may impact your ILR application as you were a sponsor for your Father in Law and as a sponsor you have you have responsibilities of the person you are inviting as they don't have rights for public funds.

==============================================================================================
I hereby undertake that, if the sponsored person named above is granted leave to enter the UK on a
permanent basis, I shall be responsible for his/her maintenance, accommodation and care in the UK for a
period of five years from the date of their entry to the UK. I am further aware that the sponsored individual
will have no recourse to public funds for five years from the date of their entry to the UK.
Or;
If the sponsored person named above is granted limited leave to enter the UK, I shall be responsible for
his/her maintenance, accommodation and care in the UK without recourse to public funds for the duration of
that limited leave to enter.
I understand that this undertaking shall be made available to the Department for Work and Pensions in the
UK, who will take appropriate steps to recover from me the cost of any public funds paid to or in respect of
the sponsored person named above. I also understand that the Home Office may take appropriate action to
recover from me amounts attributable to any support provided under Section 95 of the Immigration and
Asylum Act 1999 (support for asylum seekers) to the sponsored person named above. I further understand
that I may be committing a criminal offence and liable to prosecution if, after I have given this undertaking, I
do not support the sponsored person named above and income support or income-based Jobseeker's
Allowance (under social security legislation) and/or support for asylum seekers (under immigration
legislation) is provided to or in respect of the sponsored person named above.

Please do speak to OISC registered immigration consultant for this and they may charge you £ 40-50 for this.

Just found out this.......

Use ‘Form SU07’ to support the application of a person who is applying to come to the UK to visit or settle.

This form is to confirm that you will be responsible for the applicant’s maintenance, accommodation and care, without relying on public funds:

for at least 5 years, if they are applying to settle
throughout their stay in the UK, if they are applying to visit

Pay it, it's the honourable thing to do.

Two problems here.

1. Travelling without insurance
2. Bill treatment provided by NHS

The second one could be an issue, If the bill is not paid. and if HO does checks against NHS records.
