Partner claiming benefits - does it affects my application

Post by DUSTDEVIL » Sat Mar 09, 2019 1:46 pm

My partner wants to get some benefits while she is looking after our newborn child (she was fired by her employer once she became pregnant as she was in her probationary period, so no maternity leave).

Does her taking the benefits (universal credit and child benefit) might have negative impact onto my British nationality application? I was told that history of claiming benefits has an impact on Good Character, does the fact that parter is taking benefits has also an impact? I never been on any benefits myself and I have a corporate job, BA and MSc degrees from british unis.

If that may help, the child has British nationality.

You were told wrong. Claiming benefits has no impact on British citizenship application.
