How much salary do I have to show for my Wife's ILR App

Post by fais79 » Sat Mar 10, 2012 8:23 am

Hello Everyone,

I will be applying for my wife's ILR in June when it will be 2 years since she has entered UK.

We have one child and I have never taken any benefits or claimed any public funds.

What I would like to know is how much salary I have to show for the 3 months prior to her application?

Many thanks,

My monthly income after Tax and NI is around £1300. I have a mortgage of £717 and Council Tax = £125 totalling to £842... Leaving £458 for us to spend.. Will this enough for me my wife and child??

We have survived on the current salary so far without utilising on any sort of public funds..

ILR is seldom refused on finance. If she has not been claiming public funds to which she was not entitled, the application will be approved (on maintenance grounds at least; can't comment on other issues).

why aren't you claiming child benefit and child tax credit?

Do not want to rely on any public funds which would affect my wife's application in anyway...

By the way also my wife has been abroad to see her parents recently for 45 days. This shouldn't affect her application in anyway will it?

Thanks

you are entitled to claim any public funds for which you are eligible. You should be claiming child benefit and making a joint claim for tax credits it will have no effect on your wives application. It would also make it more likely that you would actually meet the maintenance requirements

I will have to look into this in detail..

Will my wife being outside UK for a period of 45 days affect her application in any way??

Thanks really appreciate your help!
