Sorry, when you said ILR has no maintenance, does that mean they don't need to show any sort of finance at all?

Children require adequate maintenance under 298.
Is there any guidance to this with outlined numbers? Currently both parents make around £19K between them. The child how is to be sponsored also makes around £8,000 per annum. Can the child's salary be used in this case?

The issue of absence isn't while the current spouse visa is valid.

Only reasonable absences, holidays, compassionate circumstances et...

Re: Residency Requirements for ILR (currently living in the

Then you have a choice. Residence in the UK or in the USA. Your wife can't have both if she wants to qualify for FLR(M) and eventually ILR. OK. I have a good question off the back of that. From the 33 months, she has been granted now. How long can she (according to the UKVI rules) stay outside of t...

Re: Residency Requirements for ILR (currently living in the

A spouse visa and extension requires residency and evident that you, the sponsor, is settled in the UK. The same applies for ILR. You cannot expect partner to qualify for ILR when there is no residence in the UK at all. It doesn't work like that unfortunately. Any absence from the UK, while a resid...

Re: Residency Requirements for ILR (currently living in the

Doesn't income made by myself in the US count as my earned income? I earn triple the threshold at the moment and all accounted for via statements, IRS etc.

Also, me being British but working abroad should count for something, shouldn't it? I am curious to why this would not work.
