The link that you have added also says that another requirement is -> You’ve been granted indefinite leave to stay in the UK (or permanent residence if you’re an EEA national) To get ILR as a spouse, you will need to spend five years on a spouse visa. As you would have then also completed three yea ...

That's before the rules changed. You now need to complete a 5 year probationary period before qualifying for ILR. Once you receive ILR assuming your marriage is subsisting and you meet all the standard requirements you will be able to apply for British citizenship. You'll need to apply for another ...

matthymeine I don't understand why your wife isn't helping you with this information. After all, English is her native language. Do you understand now that SoHopeful has made it clearer for you? I thought that by highlighting in bold what applies in your case would help but obviously not. :? sorry ...

12 months bank statement when child maintenance payments are relied on. (d) To evidence maintenance payments (from a former partner of the applicant to maintain their and the applicant's child or children or the applicant, or from a former partner of the applicant’s partner to maintain the a ...

It should be OK then. It doesn't matter whether he pays in amounts spread over the month. and i think the money he add sometimes it's a bonus :D , my wife she was reading about immigration and how to meet financial requierement , in our situation , she found in gov.uk in pdf file , that we have to ...

What amount does the legal agreement arranged through the solicitor say he should pay? I assume you're submitting this with the application? How much less is he paying some months? In a previous post you said the ex-husband pays £1,000 per month - £12,000 per year. Now you're saying £20,000. Is th ...

If the case worker calculates the alimony in the same way as pay slips they will take the lowest payment in the last 6 month period and multiply it by 12. If you submit the savings statement you shouldn't have a problem. i dont know which calculation they will do , i was trying to sum all the ...

Casa i was taking a look at 12 months bank statements of aliment ( 1000 £ a month ) , sometimes the ex pay more than that and some times less , sometimes he pays before month ends , and sometimes after with few days , does the home office look at the total of whole year ??

Casa wrote:'other than child maintenance' . This means child maintenance (which I assume your wife if being paid by her ex-husband) is allowed.

ah thanks , just my english not that good i get it now thx Casa

Casa just found this on line does the Aliment for kids my wife receive every month can not be counted , it says this - What income cannot be counted? • Any money or income from a third party, other than child maintenance, academic maintenance grants or alimony payments http://www.aff.org.uk/l ...

okey thank you

It is their business to find out how the family (including the children) will be supported financially once your join them. I can't advise you whether to wait another 6 months that has to be your decision. i think it's gonna be ok , we will just apply we fulfill the financial requierement , i think ...

You can only put the figures your wife has given you. If that's all she spends on the children's care then you can't put anything else. do u think it's a risk , or i will wait for 6 months to put all of her savings in one account , and it will be easier to get a statement but 6 months loooks alot ...

Casa wrote:Then if your wife only spends £100 each a month on her children that's what you'll have to put. The ECO may think it's strange that she receives £1,000 a month in child maintenance from ex-husband.

yeah true i dont know what to do , what do u think Casa ??

The £22,000 will be enough without the savings. You might as well submit the July savings statement, even though you shouldn't need it. You're not being asked how much your wife spends on her children. i think i ll submit only 22000 , if we don't receive the savings statements as soon as possible ...

the banks are making it hard for us to get savings statements , i don t think that we ll get a recent saving statements before 16 dec , and i'm thinking what if i apply with just aliment and my wife s salary which is 22.000 a year , but there s a questions about kids , my wife has two kids she said ...

thank you Casa , and this time we will use DHL not royal mail parcelforce , hope it will take less days

So make sure you include the bank statements showing the alimony paid into the account and that the last bank statement and pay slip aren't more than a calendar month old. i.e dated no later than 16th November. You'll have to change your flight date won't you? the ticket was on 18th of dec , i ll ...
