ILR Eligibility - Child Benifit

Hello,

I am a British Citizen via naturalization of 5-year on Tier-1 visa.
My wife is on Tier-1 dependent visa and works full time.
Our child is 2 years old. Wife and child are not UK citizen.
As per Child benefit criteria I have applied and receiving child benefit only in my name for the last 1 year.

Is the Child benefit that I receive be an blocker my wife's ILR application if she applies for ILR
after staying for 5 years in UK on Tier-1 dependent

If yes,
1. Do I have to opt out of Child benefit and then apply for my wife's ILR?
2. Any other valid options?

As I am a newbie please consider and move it to appropriate section if needed.

Regards

It has no effect on her application

under eligibiltiy criteria it says "you and your partner must not be using public funds"

That does not apply when your partner is settled or a BC

Hi

On above query i have a small doubt

In the visa application it is asking does you or anyone part of the application are receiving public funds. Do we need to declare it.

Please let me know

Thank you

You are not part of the application

Thank you for your reply

I am still worried about it

In the Set(o) PBS dependent application it is asking does you are anyone part of the application acess public funds.( there it was asking this might be spouse or child)

I slelected the option No and i am worried if i did the right thing or not.

I am BC for 2 years now and only during this period i am claiming child benifit on my name.

Please let me know i am so worried

Thank you

I repeated several times that it has no effect. I also repeat that you are NOT part of the application.
