Thanks for the link, would it not be an exception due to me being a citizen? He would be the one claiming public funds and that is not allowed on his visa. You can claim benefits for youself, but you can't take extra benefits for him. As you have found out, his earnings/savings are counted for some...

I was merely seeking to make a point in regards to Petaltop''s statement. It is obvious from your anti Britsh rants on here that you don't like the British, and I have said that to you before. Why travel thousands of miles to get to the UK and more to the point, then ask if you can stay if you don'...

Bit late for that now. My ancestors were Huguenots not to mention Celts also Scots, Irish. No doubt Romans, Vikings. Probably Saxons and Normans too. Same here too i would imagine. :) But the last few posts on here (excluding yours) have been more like children in a infant school playground, hurlin...

It is our country and we must learn about it. It is not our country, it is their country and we travelled here and asked if we could stay. I'm finding it hard to come to terms with immigrants who move to a democratic country, but then don't want democracy. The vote to leave the EU was a democratic ...

"You won’t need to prove you have this money if you or your partner get certain disability benefits or Carer’s Allowance, but you’ll need to adequately accommodate and support yourselves and any dependants." So would claiming ESA/PIP mean that if my girlfriend and I were married abroad, or at least...

ive been given a forcast saying all my payments are fully paid and can expect a pension at the age of 66 It might be best to get a new forecast as April 2016 saw new rules for UK state pensions. hello mate thanks it was after April that the government gave the forcast said all contributions up to d...

Can they make another EEA country grant citizenship? I thought EU law ended at PR? The old men running the EU seem to be finding it hard to come to terms with the fact that they will no longer have a say in the running of the UK. Or are they worried these people will end up in their EEA country afte...

Hi, I got ILR last year via Tier 1 General route. My wife has also ILR but my kids still on previous visa issued as tier1 general dependent and still have time to expire. My question is if I claim working and child tax credit etc. will this make any effect for my Naturalisation. Child Benefit in yo...

Just as an aside, are you aware that you can claim WTC & CTC as long as these are claimed in JOINT NAMES and Child Benefit in YOUR NAME ONLY, without affecting your wife's future visa applications? :idea: He won't get WTC as he earns too much. The poverty cut off for CTC with one chld is about 26K,...

The council already know of her status and said i have to enroll her on the application for local housing, but i will get a single with 1 child rate. It be only my earning calculated as i'm the only one working. I will make the application at the council office it's self and get them to fill it out...

Council tax allowance is a different benefit area to housing benefit with the council, so inform them both in writing. The same with any other benefits you claim, if you need to. The addresses can be found on each different benefit award letter. If you are of working age, then at some point you will...

I have found out that it won't affect my wife's future visa status. I am living in Housing Association accommodation and am in receipt of Employment & Support Allowance. As such, I qualify for the full amount of the eligible rent/maximum Housing Benefit and the full amount of Council Tax reduction....

I am not asking about heathcare, we lived in the Uk for 5 years and know how it works. You left in 2012. The NHS changed from 6 April 2015 under the Immigration Act 2014. That Act changed who "ordinary resident" is for NHS purposes, as in, ordinary resident for free use of the NHS. Have a google on...

Children can come when you can afford to secure correct visa for them, with healthcare. Budgeting for health care is not an optional extra as who knows what can happen and when. Exactly. That's why I suggested that the wife (the visa holder) sees if she can get one of those very long term interest ...

I am not concerend about health care or any other issues, just the visitor visa If you are finding the NHS Surcharge fees excessive, in the unfortunate event of your children needing medical treatment while they are in the UK as visitors, how will you meet the cost of NHS fees which will be charged...

My self and the children remain in SA but wish to also go over, our main problem is that the nhs surcharge is so high. I recently proposed that we get myself a dependency visa so I could go work again and the children visitor visas. We do realise that the children wont be able to go to school in th...

Did you give the council your new address?

Good evening, I am staying with my friend at his flat. It has been nearly 3-4 years since I am staying with my friend. My question is in relation to paying/not paying Council tax bill. My friend is the owner of the flat. He pays the Council tax bill, but i am not paying it. Could please someone exp...

Perhaps get your EU citizen spouse to exercise treaty rights in a country that will give you free or cheap universtiy fees?

There is a list here from a US site.

You can google and find other EEA countries who do this.

But I'm not really asking to advise him on whether he should have gotten JSA, but rather for the immigration implications of having gotten it. And in the rules, it's clear you cannot count it as income, but it's not clear to me whether having received benefits is detrimental to a spouse visa. As fa...
