My wife has not sent the spouse visa application yet, would it be OK for her to come to the UK on a Visitor visa and stay in the UK for a few weeks or will that cause problems when she applies for the spouse visa?

I have two seperate banks - one for my benefits and one for savings. I understand I need to provide 6 months statements for the savings account. But for the bank accounts that the Benefits money, is that just the latest months statement to show money that the carers allowance and Income Support in g...

To prove my income via adequate maintence route do I need to show the latest months bank statement for Carers Allowance and other benefits coming in or is it the last 6 months?


Also, is it latest months statement or 6 months banks statements for savings in bank?

Anyone?

Sorry, that's not entirely correct as it would be the case for a standard application based on earnings. For the adequate maintenance route, your income is compared to what an equivalent British family would receive. An equivalent British family with children would have increased income by having t...

Thanks geoeng, you've been very helpful. If my wife has a spouse visa and we have a child in the UK, when she applies for Spouse Visa Extension and Indefinite Leave to Remain via 'ADEQUATE MAINTENANCE' route, do I have to show I have enough income per week to look after my wife and BRITISH child or ...

I have two questions:- 1) If my wife gets a spouse visa do I have to let the benefits people know that I now have a partner (who doesn't work and doesn't have any income) and will that affect her visa? 2) Can I claim Child tax credits (via Universal Credits) in JOINT NAMES, will that affect my wife...

Hi, 1) If my wife gets a spouse visa do I have to let the benefits people know that I now have a partner (who doesn't work and doesn't have any income) and will that affect her visa? 2) Can I claim Child tax credits (via Universal Credits) in JOINT NAMES, will that affect my wife's visa? Top Thank you

So if we have a child in the UK I can claim child benefit etc, but she can't claim for anything until she gets Indefinite Leave to Remain, correct? You can claim child benefit but only in your own name which will not affect her future visa extensions. And Child tax credits (via Universal Credits) i...

Just out of interest, do Home Office check income, weekly outgoings for Spouse Visa, Spouse Visa Extension and Indefinite Leave to Remain?


(Is it the same rules for ALL three stages?)

Because the rules are worded such that housing costs apply to a household that includes any other family members. Again, just how I interpret the guidance and I could be wrong. I assume HO would be concerned about a situation where your parents changed their mind or were unable to continue to provi...

. I suspect your housing costs would not be interpreted as free in this case by HO despite you not incurring any costs directly, but I could be wrong. Thanks for the reply... If I won't be paying anything towards housing costs (rent, morgage, council tax etc) why won't they interpret itas 'free', w...

Come on guys, someone must know...

Does the cash savings via the "adequate maintenance" route have to be in addition to the benefit money that that I'm saving or can I can use the benefit money that I'm saving every week as "savings"?

Your friend may have complicated the application by including her £12,000 of savings, as the first £16,000 will be dis-regarded. She won't qualify under care + savings. This does not apply when going through adequate maintenance. This applies when you are going through £18,600 or just the saving ro...

I used to pay my parents for rent and bills but now they have agreed to let me live in the house for free , so I can save up and look after my wife and they are happy for my wife to live in the house for free too. No one can predict the outcome of application. Have you updated to benefits authoriti...

Anyone, Please?
