Hi I'm looking for some advice and hope you can help. I married my Palestine husband around 2 1/2 years ago. I was working for a year but didn't apply for visa as we wanted to wait. Now I had stopped working to become a carer for my father who is really ill, and have now claimed careers allowance and someone has told me we can apply and not need to meet the financial requirements. I also receive housing benefit so I don't have to pay any rent and also receive child benefit and child tax credits but it's not my husbands child. Will I be able to apply for my husbands visa on this sort of benefits and when can I apply? I have been in careers allowance for only one month and received 4 weekly payments? I also have 1 year payslips from my last employer? Would this help in any way? I just need to know if I can apply for his visa with only being in careers allowance for one month and what documents I need to provide the gov website is just confusing me. Will it go against me if I'm claiming housing benefit? Shall I work 16 hours too?

Hi could someone help me please me and my husband was about to apply for his leave to remain and I had to leave my job to care for my father. I receive careers allowance and child tax and child benefits and also housing benefits and council tax, the child I have is not my currents husbands child. Could we apply for his visa on these benefits? Housing benefit will not affect this will it? We have a 1 bedroom house that has two rooms and a bathroom and Spam. If someone could help me asap that would be great thank you

You cannot use all the benefits towards the calculation as far as I understand.
What level of carers allowance are you getting?
immigration-for-family-members/calculat ... 05533.html
In terms of the 1 bed property, how many adults and children currently live there?
Where is your husband now as you keep saying 'leave to remain'?
Char (CR001 not Casa)

Please DO NOT send me a PM for immigration advice. I reserve the right to ignore the PM and not respond.

Will housing benefit affect his application!? Or will I be ok to claim on the following benefits?
Hi I live in a one bedroom property and there is two adults and 1 child. And he is here with me now. I'm getting 62.70 a week and 64.00 a week child tax credits and 20.50 a week child benefits and then I get housing benefits which is £195 a week.

We live in a one bedroom house with me my husband and child, the benefits I'm currently getting are stated as followed
Child benefit 20.50 a week
Child tax credits 64.00 a week
Careers allowance 62.70 a week
Housing benefits 195.00 a week
Council tax 15.42 a week
What I want to know is if I can apply when claiming these benefits none off the above will affect the decision? As I do have adequate housing and the money added up from the child benefit child tax and careers = 147.20 a week
And how long I need to wait before we can send this of?
