Hi,
I got UK citizenship though naturalization. I was initially on work permit and then on tier 1 general during the 5 year work period. When I applied for ILR, I had tier 1 general. I got UK nationality around March 2014 after spending more than 1 year on ILR.
I married after I became UK national. My wife entered on her spouse visa in UK in November, 2014. She would be completing her 5 years on spouse visa in November, 2019. During this five year's time, I did receive child benefits for about two years. I stopped this since April 2018.
Could you please confirm whether my taking of child benefits would have any negative impact on my wife's ILR application in Nov, 2019?
Whenever I try to find out the eligibility criteria, the second question after https://www.gov.uk/settle-in-the-uk/y/y ... sh-citizen
is confusing me. It states
Did your family member or partner settle before they became a British citizen?
What should be the answer to this question for me? I think it should be 'yes' as I settled (got ILR) before becoming national.
Thanks,
Alpha Kh
